Bray Wyatt WWE
Rotunda was recast as Bray Wyatt, the evil cult head of The Wyatt Family. And, this was after rejoining WWE’s growth zones. Further, the group later made its main roster bow in 2013. He won the WWE Title one time and the Universal Title twice before emerging as a three-time global player in the WWE. Also, he has held the Raw Tag Team Title with Matt Hardy. And, he won the SmackDown Tag Team Title with Harper and Randy Orton under the Freebird Rule.
Wyatt resurfaced on WWE broadcast in April 2019 with a new gimmick. Here, he introduced the horror-themed alias The Fiend, after a brief absence in August 2018. The Fiend was shown as possessing a disruptive dual personality disorder. And, would irregularly flip between his kind side—a Mr. Rogers-like children’s television show named Bray Wyatt. On the other hand, he had an evil side—a terrible monster clown named The Fiend. Finally, Wyatt left WWE in July 2021 but then rejoined it again in October 2022.
On May 23, 1987, Lawrence Rotunda took birth in Brooksville, Florida. Here, he went to Hernando High School. Shockingly enough, in 2005 he weighed 275 pounds (125 kg) and took the state wrestlers title home.
Also, he completed his graduation in 2005. He was a guard and defensive tackle in soccer as well. As an offensive guard in his season 2 at the School of the Sequoias, Rotunda was chosen as a second-team All-American. In fact, they gave him a scholarship to play football at Troy University, wherein he spent two years. He decided to train as a pro wrestler and left Troy 27 class units short of a bachelor’s degree.
Bray Wyatt News
The audience found Vincent Bateman and Dutch as noted part of Bray Wyatt’s faction. In fact, they saw him in the audience in the most recent edition of WWE NXT.
When the Wyatt 6 faction was a hot topic, folks expected that they were part of it. But, the gang hasn’t come together so far. Also, it is not clear whether it ever will. Bateman and Dutch, two senior Ring of Honor (ROH) wrestlers, are also thought to be a part of Wyatt’s new gang.
Two new WWE hires were revealed on the last edition of NXT on the USA Network, as per the most recent sources from PWInsider.
Even though NXT did not market Vincent and Dutch as NXT recruits, their being in the arena hints that they have rejoined the club. As PWInsider told earlier that day, Kylie Rae and KC are also also being a part of this week’s trial.
The big show of this week’s red brand did include a clash between Alexa Bliss, Becky, and Nikki Cross. Prior to the bout, Wyatt’s logo briefly aired on the tv behind The Goddess as the camera showed her backstage. Bliss made news during the bout when she tried to finish Becky Lynch. And, she did this with the Sister Abigail move, a blow used by Bray Wyatt.
Damage CTRL was given up in order for The Man to flee. In fact, he drove her through the news table. As a result, Bliss was able to use the Twisted Bliss to slay Nikki Cross. Bayley and The Goddess will now face off on RAW the next week.
Bliss was tied to The Eater of Worlds until Bray Wyatt was fired from WWE. However, the two stars might team up again with the former Universal Champion’s return, too.
Bray Wyatt WWE Return 2022
There was a surprise at the close of Saturday’s Elite Live Show, Extreme Rules 2022. Here, Bray Wyatt rejoined the club one year after his much-discussed WWE layoff. The old Universal Champion has now laid his title as a result of the White Rabbit videos that WWE ran in various arenas.
On Saturday at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, Bray Wyatt made his heavily hyped return to the WWE. And, it came over a year after his dismissal.
Wyatt is hailed as one of the best tellers in wrestling right now. And, both fans and media praise his Bray Family and The Fiend mask for its success.
He won the Universal Title twice during his stint as The Fiend until losing to Reigns in 2020. Wyatt engaged in a plot involving Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss, who acted as his assistant. However, Wyatt went on a rest after his fall against Orton. Also, Bliss turned on him at WrestleMania the year before.
WWE quietly let Wyatt go in July 2021. During the past year, many people had assumed that he would move to Tony Khan’s AEW.
The old WWE Champion has, however, legally and partly, rejoined the organisation. We now know about the vignettes and who it ran for. People were looking out for a particular White Rabbit. And, it ran for weeks on RAW, SmackDown, and WWE Live Shows.
Bray Wyatt Mask
At Friday night’s WWE Extreme Rules, Bray Wyatt made a dramatic debut. In fact, he revealed a new mask and claimed the end of the Firefly Funhouse. Baker’s business’ Callosum Studio made the mask and suit ideas for Bray Wyatt’s debut.
In the crowd, Huskus the Pig, Ramblin’ Rabbit, and even The Fiend came to life as a way of the return of the Firefly Funhouse. However, this was all just a build-up to a little clip that later aired. And, this showed the funhouse being looted, filled with spiders. Further, it looked on the verge of demolishment. With a lamp in hand and a new mask on, Wyatt then began to walk out of the entrance. Also, they had set up the entire scene on a ramp.
Baker is a special effects worker who has joined forces for WWE. Later this year, he aided the special effects at WrestleMania 38. In the movie Black Phone, which had a mask very akin to the one Wyatt wore last night, he also hid the special effects.
The entire arrival was expertly planned. They played many White Rabbit hints and aired them over the past three weeks. Also, many had already suspected that Wyatt would return. Even then, it was still nice to pursue the signs and hints that Bray had left for his fans.
Only time will reveal Wyatt’s future course. But, from this point ahead, all eyes will be upon the past Universal King.

Rotunda married a woman named Samantha. They have two daughters. She filed for divorce in 2017.
During the divorce proceedings, she demanded that he pay her $15,000 per month in spousal and child support. They were eventually forced into mediation at a family practice in Tampa, Florida.
