The Fiend remains one of the most unique characters to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. Bray Wyatt’s latest iteration made its in-ring debut back at 2019’s SummerSlam pay-per-view again Finn Balor, where he won in a squash match. However, his booking since then has been panned by many fans. Particularly him losing to Goldberg at WWE Super Showdown in 2020. He would lose to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37 in a singles match after being betrayed by Alexa Bliss. He had been absent from WWE television since then. Bray Wyatt could be losing The Fiend to a big name in WWE.
Bray Wyatt was released by WWE on July 31st last year and since then the former WWE Superstar has already teased what he might do next. From what it seems, it once seemed likely he would be making his way to AEW far earlier than expected, as WWE may have let him have a shorter noncompete. Wyatt also appeared on March 13th, at the Showcase of Legends 7 event in Albany, New York. Braun Strowman was released last year as well.
Wyatt’s promos were usually cryptic and had a lot of interesting things in them as well. While speaking on “The Wrestling Outlaws” podcast, Road Dogg revealed that WWE writer Nick Manfredini helped write Bray Wyatt’s promos during his time in the company.
“So, I do not know (what went wrong with Bray Wyatt’s character). But I’ll tell you how I feel about it and his writing. We had one guy on the writing team, and I always miss his last name…Nick Manfredini. He wrote with Bray, and so he had Bray’s voice down well. And that’s what people fuss about, ‘Oh, you have 14 writers.’ Well, some of them are specifically for specific talent that has their voice down. So, Nick was one of those guys. He and Bray would go sit somewhere.”
