Following his shock WWE release last month, it looks as if Bray Wyatt will soon become #AllElite.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio (as per WrestlingNews.co), Dave Meltzer said how Wyatt to AEW is "most likely happening".

When discussing potential new arrivals in AEW, Metlzer said:

"We're gonna see a lot of different people coming up, including Bray Wyatt. It's not 100%, his non-compete is not up. It's most likely happening. It's at the same stage when I said Aleister Black, long before it happened. It's the same stage. I don't think there's pen to paper or anything like that. It's an expectation that's pretty strong, put it that way."

The real-life Windham Rotunda was one of the many, many talents released by WWE across this past 16 or months or so due to "budget cuts" - all while the company also champions record revenue figures and huge profit margins.

If and when the three-time World Champion does end up in AEW, he obviously won't be able to use the Bray Wyatt name. Given Rotunda's recent social media activity, though, it does look as if he has something eerily similar to The Fiend up his sleeve and ready to unleash on the wrestling world.

As it stands, Wyatt is under a 90-day non-compete clause.
