Since WWE released Bray Wyatt, we've heard conflicting reports about what led to that. Budget cuts were certainly part of the reason, but it was recently claimed that the former WWE Champion's weight issues and the fact he was "difficult" to work with may have factored into the company's decision.
You have to believe Wyatt will eventually look to set the record straight, but what does the future hold in store for the ex-Fiend in the squared circle?
In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer addressed AEW President Tony Khan's recent comments that he hasn't spoken to Wyatt. Apparently, he needs to choose his words carefully because from a legal standpoint, talking to Wyatt now could affect his 90-day non-compete with WWE.
That doesn't mean talks haven't happened, of course, but they just can't be spoken about publicly.
Meltzer also adds that Wyatt is looking to use the Windham name moving forward (his real name is Windham Lawrence Rotunda). This isn't a surprise because WWE owns the trademark to "Bray Wyatt," "The Wyatt Family," and "The Fiend." Still, there's a lot of wrestling history associated with "Windham" and "Rotunda," so that's no bad thing.
Hopefully, we'll learn more about Wyatt's future plans soon, so keep checking back here for updates.
