But not every tribute came in the form of an emotional promo or message on social media.

Some folks, like the always impressive Swerve Strickland, actually waited a few months to pay homage to the late, great Wyatt, with the future World Champion adding some Fiendish flavour to his gear on the night of Full Gear 2023.

Many naturally weren't quick to spot the Wyatt connection on the night as Strickland and Hangman Page attempted to beat each other to a bloody pulp in one of the most horrific bouts of the year.

But Strickland would eventually confirm via Instagram that his tights on the night were very much inspired by a star he had always loved and been influenced by. Swerve would even note on the NotSam Wrestling podcast (via Fightful) that whilst sharing a locker room with Wyatt back in WWE, he actually helped the creative performer with a Fiend mask at one point.
