WWE recently revealed that now-former Superstar Bray Wyatt had been released from the company. The promotion confirmed the news last night on Twitter.
Wyatt had not been seen on WWE programming for some time, with his last televised appearance being at the WrestleMania 37 PPV event in Florida.
There have been rumors of Bray Wyatt not being happy with the overall creative direction of The Fiend and Funhouse Bray characters. Interestingly, prior reports have indicated that Wyatt had a major part in playing in his own creative on WWE TV.
Bray Wyatt teasing new character
’˜The Fiend’ character for Bray Wyatt is arguably some of his best work on the WWE main roster; however, his original ’˜cult leader’ Wyatt Family persona is also lauded by fans and critics, especially in hindsight.
It appears as though Bray Wyatt has already begun teasing a new character that he could be portraying on the independent scene, and/or AEW, IMPACT or New Japan.
Wyatt added to his Instagram bio recently, writing ’˜Kult of Windham coming soon’. This may well be an indication of what the former WWE Superstar has planned for the future.
Several former WWE Superstars have gone on to sign with AEW, such as Malakai Black, who also played a dark character on-screen for WWE and NXT before that. Black could appear in AEW earlier than expected due to a clerical error which meant he had a 30-day non-compete rather than the standard 90 for a main roster Superstar.
Check back for more on Wyatt as and when the story develops.
