Bray Wyatt Teases New Sentient Machine Wrestling Gimmick?
Is this a sign of a return to the ring for the Eater of Worlds?
While he's still yet to make his pro wrestling return following his WWE release in July of last year, the former Bray Wyatt has taken to Twitter to tease something.
The real-life Windham Rotunda has changed his Twitter username to an "O", whilst the three-time World Champion has put out several cryptic messages about wanting to be "sentient" and to become "the machine".
I do think it’s true that “he who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man.”

To be Sentient

What this all means, that remains to be seen. Some are taking this merely as Windham having some fun, others believe it's a hint of a wrestling return, and some even speculate that the Eater of Worlds is getting set to debut some sort of "sentient machine" gimmick.
As mentioned, Rotunda hasn't stepped foot in a wrestling ring since departing WWE, although he has appeared at two meet and greet events in recent months. Likewise, the former Wyatt Family leader last month posted on Instagram about how he can't imagine never wrestling again, how he misses the sound of the fans, and how he will always love the wrestling business.
Just this week, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated how Windham's asking price is "very high" for those looking to lure him back into the squared circle. In his time away from the industry, Rotunda has been focussed on a horror movie project with SFX artist Jason Baker.
