Bray Wyatt’s release shock the entire pro wrestling world yesterday. Wyatt is one of the most creative guy WWE has ever had and he’s almost considered by the fans as the new era Undertaker. When Wyatt debuted his ‘The Fiend’ character; it was the hottest character in all over the wrestling world. But, WWE just derailed the momentum of such an amazing character time and time again. His last appearance at WWE was his lackluster match against Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 37 where he lost the match because of the betrayal of Bliss.
According to PW Insider, employees were ‘stunned’ by the release of Bray Wyatt and fingers are being pointed at WWE President Nick Khan and CFO Kristina Salen. These two are “so obsessed with the company not being even one iota in the red on the financial ledgers.” and we all know that Bray Wyatt was pulling down a hefty contract.
Fightful Select reported that Wyatt was set to return in August but he became oerprotective of his character because WWE creative was just messing up his character time and time again.
The creative team had been relayed that Wyatt was getting protective of his character after what were seen as poor creative decisions and ideas thrown his way, though many members of the team didn’t speak to Wyatt directly
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer expanded the reason behind Wyatt’s absense from WWE Television.
“He had been out for medical reasons and he had just gotten cleared. Then when he got cleared they evaluated the situation and he was told that due to budgetary reasons that he’s being cut. The basic gist is that he’s another high contract guy, whether it’s because it’s concerns over the medical reasons is the real reason or they could not come up with an idea to justify his salary, I don’t know which of that it is, but that’s the basic deal with him.”
Wyatt has been just cleared for his in-ring return and he was advertised as well for the upcoming episodes of RAW. Unfortunately, we will never be able to see Wyatt on WWE Television again. But, Wyatt has already been teasing a new character.
Wyatt, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, hinted at his plans in the pro wrestling world on his Instagram. Wyatt changed his Instagram bio to ‘Kult of Windham coming soon’.

Wyatt has been currently under his 90 days non compete clause, we can just hope to see him back in any of the wrestling promotions after his clause gets over. Wrestlebuddy thinks that Wyatt should join AEW and lead the Dark Order and bring Strowman to the faction as well. This will be a full circle.
We will keep you posted on Wyatt’s story. Stay Tuned.
