Arsenal played the theme song of Bray Wyatt during their Premier League clash against Fulham on Saturday after the WWE star passed away at the age of 36.

His death of the three-time WWE world champion was announced by the company's Chief Content Officer, Triple H, on Thursday evening UK time.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful revealed that Wyatt contracted COVID-19 earlier this year which exacerbated a heart issue. He added: "There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery. Unfortunately today he suffered a heart attack and passed away."

WWE's weekly show SmackDown became a tribute to Wyatt and WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk, who also passed away earlier this week at the age of 79.

John Cena, The Rock, Seth Rollins and Bayley were among the current and former WWE stars to pay tribute to Wyatt, who returned to the company last year following his release in 2021.

LA Knight paid a live tribute on SmackDown, before beating one of Wyatt's greatest rivals, Finn Balor, in the main event.

And tributes extended beyond wrestling, with Arsenal acknowledging the former champion's passing during their fixture against Fulham.

Arsenal play Bray Wyatt theme song during Fulham fixture

The Gunners have been known to play theme songs from other sports before, and once came out to Triple H's iconic 'The Game' theme before a fixture in 2020.

But on this occasion, there was a much more poignant feeling around the occasion, with Arsenal playing Wyatt's 'Live In Fear' theme that he used during his run as leader of the Wyatt Family.

You can watch the clip below.

Arsenal were 1-0 down at half time, but bounced back to lead 2-1 after two second half goals in as many minutes from Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.

Fulham did equalise late on, however, with Joao Palhinha sweeping an effort into the bottom corner from inside the penalty area to deal a blow to Mikel Arteta's side after they re-took control of proceedings.
