Triple H Reacts To Canceled Bray Wyatt Storyline

The Wyatt Family remained one of the most unique factions in the modern era of WWE. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan made their presence felt in 2013 and for several years, the faction was involved in some of the most high-profile matches in the modern era of the company.

 


 

However, it seems the faction might have debuted with entirely different Superstars instead of they went according to original plans.

Former WWE Superstar Viktor spoke to Wrestling Inc, where he revealed that there was a chance that he would have followed Bray Wyatt from NXT and become part of the Wyatt Family. Ultimately, that did not happen and Viktor became a part of the Ascension instead as per Triple H’s suggestion.

“I suffered a couple of little minor injuries while I was there. I just started rolling, this was kind of before I got put in Ascension. I’d been working with Seth [Rollins] a ton, and I was in a three-way dance with him and Leo Kruger (Adam Rose) somewhere three hours north of here. And it was one of the very last things in the match, and Seth was just throwing me back into the ring. And I remember my knee just suddenly gave out when I went to stand up and finish the match. And it was such a good match. It was really good. We had so much fun.”

“I just remember somebody being like, ‘It was so much fun.’ I go, ‘Yeah, I’m not walking out of here,’ and so then after that, it was kind of a weird scramble where I was almost in The Wyatt Family for a little while. And then after that got shut down, Hunter (Triple H), under the suggestion of Norman Smiley who had been saying it for years and Billy Kidman who said, ‘Hey Vic should be in The Ascension.’ That’s kind of how that happened. NXT had already kind of formed, but we were still in Tampa. We hadn’t moved to Orlando yet.”
