10 Things You Didn't Know About Bray Wyatt

6. The Lost Wyatt Family Member: Eli Cottonwood

After NXT, The Nexus, Husky Harris and the early days, Bray Wyatt officially debuted in April 2012 at FCW. Although he was more than capable on his own, he was given a sidekick who was known as Eli Cottonwood. If you€™re able to ignore Bray€™s amazing promo, you€™ll notice the seven foot monster that€™s standing behind him the entire time. As another member of NXT: Season 2, Eli was voted out second due to his complete lack of ability in the ring and even less talent on the mic. Needless to say, he didn€™t last too long with the evil cult leader - in fact, it was only about a month before Eli was given his release papers from WWE. Bray finally came out on his own when FCW was re-branded as NXT until a pectoral injury sidelined him and opened up the doors for Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to eventually join the group.
