Report: WWE Scrapped Plans For "New" Wyatt Family
Bray Wyatt ALMOST got himself a new old stable in WWE...
WWE has reportedly pitched reforming Bray Wyatt's old stable, The Wyatt Family, several times over the past few years - including recently.
Fightful Select has published a new report, first noting Mike Bennett's 2021 admission (via Metro) that he was involved in a Wyatt Family reunion pitch prior to his 2020 WWE release. Eric Young was also part of this, but while the pitch got as far as Bennett, this wasn't the case for EY.
Part of the pitch involved Bennett potentially playing Sister Abigal on WWE television. These pitches didn't get very far, though more recent ones did.
Fightful states that prior to Young's latest WWE departure earlier this year, there were plans for him to appear in a new Wyatt Family with Bray and Bo Dallas. Said plans were put together in January and set to launch after WrestleMania 39, though this didn't end up happening, with an undisclosed illness sidelining Wyatt prior to the show. Bray is yet to return to television, with Dallas also on the shelf in his brother's absence.
Alexa Bliss was also mentioned in pitches for the Wyatt Family, though news that she would miss the rest of 2023 following her pregnancy put an end to these.
Young has since been let go by WWE, returning to IMPACT Wrestling at last week's Slammiversary pay-per-view.
