According to a report by Fightful Select, there is interest in bringing back Bray Wyatt. One talent stated he could last year that Vince McMahon was simply “done” with Wyatt as he did not like him personally and would shout derogatory things at him about his physique.
Another talent reportedly stated McMahon did that because Wyatt pushed back at creative and called out the things that were bad, which McMahon did not like, which labeled Wyatt was labeled as having a “bad attitude.” It was said this narrative “came from those who worked directly with Vince McMahon. Fightful Select also noted there were also several other instances of rumors that started within that circle to “ease the heat off of WWE for releasing him.”
One WWE higher-up said Vince McMahon had reservations whenever Wyatt’s name was brought up post-release. This same higher up noted they think he would fit way better in today’s WWE landscape.
Fightful Select also said that there was frustration back at WrestleMania 37 after months of the Randy Orton-Bray Wyatt storyline, which saw the finish of the match changed the day before. It was said to Fightful Select by one person who worked on the match that no one knew what was going on throughout the course of the storyline.
The original plan was that Orton was supposed to lose the match and then take months off. However, it was reversed with Wyatt taking the time off instead and was not brought back, as he was eventually released.
The report also notes “there was never a long-term plan by the Vince McMahon regime for the resolution of the story, which frustrated those involved in it, as it was heavily featured.” Another talent close to this stated to Fightful Select that tjos type of thing is why they did not push back on creative because if a top guy like Wyatt could get fired, no one felt safe.
The specific relationship between Wyatt and Triple H is unknown. Still, several people have stated it’s a clean slate because if “Triple H thinks a talent can help the company or make money, most believe he’s largely going to throw whatever issues they had with Vince McMahon out the window for the sake of creating a better show.”
A person in WWE that worked closely with Wyatt said that his name brought up, and he doesn’t know if he would feel better about coming in now.
It is unclear how specific the relationship is between Wyatt and Triple H. However, Fightful Select said they were told that there are several current talent that have they would “go to bat” for Wyatt but do not believe that it is needed for him to get brought back to WWE. It was also noted those close to Wyatt said he had no interest in going to IMPACT Wrestling.
