10 Fascinating WWE Backstage Facts About Bray Wyatt

5. Saved A Pair of Teenagers' Lives, Didn't Tell Anyone

Former WWE star JTG wrote a pair of books about his time in the company - Damn! Why Did I Write This Book! and it's brilliantly titled sequel Damn! Why Did I Write This Book Too! 

Both books are full of terrific anecdotes about life backstage in the world's biggest wrestling company, but it's the second book this entry is concerned with as within its pages lies the tale of how Bray Wyatt rescued a pair of teens from their own stupidity.

JTG talks about a time he and Bray were riding a rental car together when a seemingly insane driver tore past them and forced fellow WWE superstars Big E and Alex Riley off the road. JTG and Bray drove after the reckless driver, just in time to see the latter's car barrel-roll off the road in a spectacular crash.

Despite the smoke pouring from the wreck - something JTG admits had him afraid to approach the car - Wyatt immediately jumped into action and pulled the driver and the passenger out (with the assistance of JTG, who was emboldened by Wyatt's heroism). The wrestlers called then called an ambulance for the teens - hence the image adorning this entry - before driving off into the night.

Bray, much to JTG's amazement, never told anyone about the story - to Wyatt, doing the right thing was as natural as breathing, and not something worth bragging about.
