So it looks like the issue that kept him out was Covid that caused heart issues, sounds similar to what happened to Keith Lee only with a less desirable ending. 

Bray wasn't to everyone's tastes but he was clearly very passionate in what he did and had an impressively devoted fanbase. Plus by all accounts Windham Rotunda was a generally good dude who had young kids, which makes this all the more awful.

The way it sounded to me, he has a pre-existing heart issue, then COVID exacerbated it. Whereas Lee had the issue with his heart due to COVID. Unless SRS’s diction in his tweet was wrong.

You are correct, I was just speaking in a general "both guys got their hearts fucked with due to COVID" sense.  Both guys got sick, both had scares where it might not have looked good for a moment, and then ended up getting better. SRS mentioned as recent as two weeks ago there were preliminary plans for his comeback being kicked around. He was getting set for his big Keith Lee return moment.....and then this.

Also let's not forget those Wyatt Family vs Shield bangers that built the foundation for the Tribal Chief.

The Shield/Wyatt Family feud was unquestionably Bray's in-ring high point, but drawing a straight line from it to the Bloodline feels like a pretty big stretch.

I think Wyatt had also great chemistry with (almost literally) Broken Matt Hardy and Randy Orton. I am really fond of those tag pairings, same with OG Wyatt Family.
