10 Weirdest Wrestling Cults Ever

Wyatt’s style of cult leadership draws parallels to Charles Manson with his fantastical and esoteric rhetoric combined with an unpretentious everyman charm. The Family established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in NXT.

They debuted on the main roster via creepy backwater vignettes, where Wyatt’s followers were often disguised in sheep masks, representing the followers and the lost flock. Wyatt called for the masses to wake up and alluded to his vivid dreams and thoughts of the world deteriorating. Becoming one of the most believable psychopaths to lace up wrestling boots, Wyatt's twisted mastery of psychology drew complimentary comparisons to Jake “The Snake” Roberts.

He referred to his Family as “the ones walking upright” and boasted of “fixing” them. Wyatt was led by devotion to Sister Abigail, a supernatural entity that shaped the man he became. Though she had a disastrous debut (as Wyatt in drag behind a black veil), many fans hope Alexa Bliss’ current alter-ego may incorporate Sister Abigail.

While most cults disband due to imprisonment, scandal, or suicide, the Wyatt Family fell at the mercy of the 2017 WWE Superstar Shake-Up.
