Bray Wyatt’s widow JoJo Offerman has opened up on WWE’s Wyatt Sicks stable continuing the legacy of her late husband.
It’s been over a year since the world suffered the tragic loss of Windham Rotunda, WWE’s Bray Wyatt, but his legacy in the company today is as strong as ever.
Monday Night Raw recently saw the debut of the Wyatt Sicks stable, led by Uncle Howdy, portrayed by Wyatt’s real-life brother Bo Dallas.
The group have been featured in multiple main events, including Uncle Howdy scoring the victory over Chad Gable on last week’s episode of Raw.
During a virtual signing for Southern Wrestling Autographs, JoJo Offerman, the widow of the late Bray Wyatt, gave her thoughts on the stable, and it being ‘bittersweet’ to see on TV.
She said:
“Yes, of course (I like what WWE is doing with Wyatt Sicks). So it’s like a very bittersweet thing for me. So, I love it for multiple reasons. I love it for the fact that his (Windham Rotunda’s) legacy is still strong and he’s out there. His spirit is out there through his brother and I love it for Taylor (Rotunda), or Bo (Dallas) because, (if) Windham wanted anything in the world, it’d be for his family to succeed, for his brother to succeed so, I’m very happy that Bo has that opportunity to kind of carry on his legacy but it’s really hard a lot of the times because it’s like a trigger for me… and I’ve had to put my phone down and completely not watch it at points and that goes back to even Samantha (Irvin) or Liv (Morgan), I’d be like, ‘Hey, can you warn me if it’s something today, because I’ll stay off of social media’ because I remember his — the debut, I didn’t even know it was happening and his music hit and I straight-up could not stop crying all night. It was full-on panic attacks for me.
“So, I’ve had to kind of make it work in the best way that I can because I do support it and I’ve talked to a lot of them in the group and they’ve all said the same thing with that they just want to make it the best thing that they possibly could… So, I respect that. I love that they’re doing that and I love that, like I said, his legacy’s living on and his kids could see that. But, the part that’s the worst for me is personal and it’s me and I spent endless nights with him working on the song or working on the character and days and weeks and months and so much time, of my time went into it.
“I just helped with a lot of — he would turn to me when it came to creativity. If he had to choose between three things, he’s like, ‘What do you think would feel better?’ Like, ‘Oh, this is how I feel like this should go. What do you think?’ And it was just kind of my opinion… It was just like, ‘Hey babe, what do you think of this?’ So, especially when it came to the music though. It was like one of those things. Like, the second he heard it, he was like, ‘I need your feedback’ because he knew how in love with music I was and so, Jami from Code Orange reached out to me and he was very adamant on me being okay with the music being used again, and I said, ‘As long as you okay it, I’m okay with it’ so, it’s been a process.
JoJo then discussed Bray’s children seeing the group and seeing their uncle continue their father’s legacy.
She added:
“They (Windham’s children) have (seen The Wyatt Sicks). They have. They have but they haven’t. I’ve allowed them the opportunity to watch it but sometimes they won’t. If they hear his music, they’ll be like, ‘Daddy’s music’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, your uncle Tay Tay uses it now’ and so just little things like that. But, they know. They know Uncle Taylor’s in it. They know it. They ask. We went to a show recently and they were like, ‘Is Uncle Taylor here?’ And I was like, ‘No. Not today.’ But, then quickly, they went on to all their other uncles and aunties after Taylor (she laughed). So, you know, it worked out. So, yeah, they know. They’ve seen it. Little pieces.”
