Perched on the Top Rope is reporting that former ECW star Colin Delaney will join Bray Wyatt’s Wyatt 6 in WWE, as seen below.
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 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.
He finally returned during WWE Extreme Rules as well, as fans simply lost their minds.
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bray Wyatt was being paid in the range of $4 million a year. He rose to the third or fourth highest paid wrestler in the business as a result. Ringside News exclusively reported that Wyatt was “difficult to get along with,” and being “outspoken was never an issue.”
Ringside News was additionally told that Bray Wyatt was “hard to find when needed.” Also, “when he had time off due to medical, there was always an issue with his appointment.” That led to even more frustration. Things finally came to a head, and he was let go. Wyatt’s reputation as a “money maker” was further tarnished because it was difficult to evaluate him when he left.
To say he was a “money maker” is based on what formula since we wasn’t part of the company’s return to live events? So, he was a money maker based solely on his merch? Not as his contract level!
