It has been over a month since the tragic demise of Bray Wyatt. As such, the wrestling community continues to pay tribute to one of the most creative minds in the sport. On last night’s episode of SmackDown, Seth Rollins competed in a dark match. Afterwards, he honored Bray’s legacy in front of the live crowd in Sacramento, CA.
A clip online showed The Visionary appreciating the fans as they acted as fireflies to pay homage to The Eater of Worlds. Furthermore, the audience serenaded Rollins’ theme music in sync. All in all, it was a touching tribute by the World Heavyweight Champion with many still reeling from the heartbreaking loss of Bray Wyatt.
Seth Rollins proceeded to show his gratitude online after the show. “Sacramento. Very nice town. Fine folks. Thank ya for havin me!” he wrote on his X account. Previously, the former Shield member revealed how much Wyatt meant to him and similarly paid tribute to the former WWE Champion.
Also, The Visionary squared off against the Ring General, Gunther, in a first-ever clash. The WWE Universe considered this to be a prelude to a potential match at WrestleMania 40. At the moment, The Architect is scheduled for a Last Man Standing match against Shinsuke Nakamura at the upcoming premium live event, Fastlane.

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are arguably the two biggest superstars in the WWE. Obviously, the pair have a love-hate relationship, as evident from the former Shield members’ interactions. Recently, The Visionary subtly took a hilarious jab at the Tribal Chief after SmackDown went off the air.
While cutting a promo, Rollins was mentioning the names of the major stars that appeared on the show. He said, “You got LA Knight! Guys, you got the greatest of all time, John Cena! You got the Universal Champio….” Therefore, he took a pause and seemingly chuckled to make fun of his former teammate’s notable absence.
Previously, Seth Rollins mentioned his annoyance towards Roman Reigns’ title reign. In fact, he claimed in a sit-down interview that he “loves but hates” The Bloodline leader. Fans are hoping to see the duo clash in the foreseeable future, given their vast history.
