Why Bray Wyatt's WWE Return Is Bigger Than You Think

The reputable Andrew Zarian reported this in October 2021, and Triple himself echoed his sourcing in an interview with Ariel Helwani this very month. "It's like being in a whirlwind of stuff," he said. While he was complimentary - "I mean this in the best possible way" - his words were also ominous.

"It's just all over the place. And he's a victim of his own mind."

This almost scans as a burial, but perhaps he was simply throwing fans off the scent. If Wyatt is considered more trouble than he's worth - and we've been here before - it might turn out exactly the way it always does. Still, it can never be discounted just how toxic Vince's creative was. Triple H's version is clearly a more popular and productive proposition. If nothing else, if Wyatt fails again, it will act as conclusive proof that supernatural wrestling is a relic of the late 20th century and will never work to that level again.

What's ironic here is that Roman Reigns capturing the Universal Title from The Fiend - by way of Braun Strowman - acted as a symbolic death of Bray Wyatt as a main event concern. "You're just a freak in a mask," is what Roman Reigns said to The Fiend upon making his own return at SummerSlam 2020. Could the return of Bray Wyatt spell the end of the Tribal Chief's extraordinary kayfabe reign with the same title? That would be some plot twist.

You'd never see it coming, indeed.
