10 Wrestlers Who Got Smaller To Get Bigger
4. Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt's many years in the doldrums had far more to do with his frequently rudderless, regularly gibberish and perennially useless character than they did his physique. Indeed, the paunch was somewhat befitting a backwoods cult leader prone to rocking on a chair all day, gnawing chicken off the bone. Fact is, the son of the IRS had already slimmed down considerably from his NXT days, when his particular shape was such that he went by the name 'Husky'.
But by 2018, Wyatt, in desperate need of a complete character overhaul, needed to go further than that. For it to work, he'd have to cut out all the excess baggage of the moribund Bray behind - including the carbs. He promptly disappeared from screens for just over five months, before creative vignettes started airing immediately after WrestleMania 34, depicting a transformed Wyatt as an ironic Mr. Rogers figure. Only beneath Bray's red sweater he was buff. This time, Bray meant business - and it wouldn't be long before his refreshing Fiend character had the whole universe, not just the world, in his hands.
