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 is likely he will 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.
According to Fightful’s paywall, WWE creative has been largely hands off with the QR segments.
We’re told not everyone was sold on the QR aspect of the White Rabbit teases, but those that we’ve spoken with backstage say that it’s been a major success and created even more than the intended buzz for the segment. We’ve learned that WWE creative has been largely hands off with the segments, and most everyone we talked to backstage aren’t sure of the small details that are involved. WWE higher ups clearly are aware of the plans, and how things will work moving forward. Those in the know claimed that WWE Extreme Rules was supposed to be the “reveal” of the White Rabbit. We were not told if the person portraying would be there physically or not.
This would mean they could appear on the following SmackDown.
