20 Scariest Wrestling Moments Ever

18. Wyatt Family Vignettes

Formerly Husky Harris in The Nexus, Windham Rotunda found himself back in developmental when the group didn't take off as hoped. Now known as Bray Wyatt, the charismatic superstar joined forces with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to form the cult-like Wyatt Family, and in May of 2013, they made their first appearance on Monday Night Raw via a pre-taped vignette.

The video used a lot of established horror tropes (an isolated location, creepy dolls), but also managed to feel like a wrestling promo - Bray Wyatt's delivery and the moody theme music in the background ensured that fans knew what they were watching.

Still, it was uncomfortable in a way that nothing on WWE TV had previously been - especially when Erick Rowan faced the camera in his sheep mask.
