WWE fans are outraged over the surprise release of Bray Wyatt. WWE suddenly announced that Bray Wyatt had been released from the company, and while no details were given, the official statement only revealed that they had come to terms over his release and wished him best on his future endeavors. Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, had been missing from WWE television since his loss to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37, and fans had been wondering when he would make his return to action. Unfortunately, that’s no longer on the table as of this morning.

Nobody is safe, this man was top merch sales for about a year and heโs gone.
WWE really fucked up with this one if thatโs the true reason.
As Long as He’s Okay!
I just hope that Bray Wyatt is in a great place mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. That he knows he is extremely loved and valued by all of us & that his future turns out exactly how HE wants it to be ๐ค
