December 5, 2022

That’s bad. Wrestlers have to deal with a lot of health and injury issues when they are in the ring and those things can catch up to them in a hurry. Over time they are going to build up no matter what, but those are not even counting other health concerns they might have outside of the ring. Now a legend is having a very serious problem, years after he last set foot in the ring. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Room For One More?

Let Him In? Bray Wyatt Makes Reference To Vince McMahon, Hints At New Beginning

July 24, 2022

He seems to be a fan. There are certain wrestlers who catch your attention no matter what they do. It might be something as simple as they way they move or the way they speak, but sometimes you can see it in their eyes. That is the case with a certain former WWE Champion, and now he has done something that might get some people wondering what he is doing next. Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt has updated his Twitter biography to include a quote from Vince McMahon. The quote says “Begin again kid, it’s what you do.” There is nothing to indicate what Wyatt means, though the quote was included the day before McMahon officially retired from WWE. Wyatt has been out of wrestling since being released from WWE on July 31, 2021. Windham Rotunda (the former Bray Wyatt)'s latest Twitter bio is a Vince McMahon quote. pic.twitter.com/VMMklulHnU — 411 Wrestling (@411wrestling) July 21, 2022 Opinion: That is one of those things that is going to have some people asking what Wyatt is going to do..

Update On Why Bray Wyatt Has Not Returned to The Ring, Multiple Companies Interested

May 7, 2022

I don’t know if he’s getting that again. There are a lot of places for a wrestler to go today, with several of them having the bonus of appearing on national television. Not everyone is going to do that though, which often makes them more interesting that who you are seeing on the shows. It can be fun to see who goes where, and now we know a bit more about someone who is still waiting. Windham Rotunda, better known as Bray Wyatt, was released from WWE in July 2021 and has yet to return to wrestling. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, several companies have been interested in bringing Rotunda in, but the money situation is said to be “far apart”. There is no word on what Rotunda is asking for, but he is believed to have made about $4 million a year in WWE, which does not include merchandise money. Opinion: I’m not sure when or if Rotunda will ever appear in wrestling again but he is certainly one of the biggest names on the free agent market. While I would love to see him..

Bray Wyatt Making First Wrestling Related Appearance In Seven Months

March 10, 2022

He’s at it again. Every now and then, you see a wrestler come along who catches your attention. There is something about them that makes you pay attention and you cannot take your eyes off of them. That is not something that a promotion should pass up as it means you can go in a lot of different ways. One such name will be making something of a return to wrestling after a long time away. Windham Rotunda, better known as Bray Wyatt, will be making his first wrestling related appearance at the Showcase of Legends 7 in Albany, New York on Sunday. Rotunda will be taking photos, signing autographs and doing a meet and greet at the convention, which will also include names such as Trish Stratus, Rikishi, Dustin Rhodes, Erick Redbeard and several others.

Hang On: Update On Bray Wyatt’s Wrestling Status

December 19, 2021

Maybe later. The WWE releases have changed the way the wrestling industry works as the market has suddenly been flooded with free agent talent. You don’t see something like that very often and it has been quite the shakeup. It can be fascinating to see where some of the wrestlers wind up, but it seems that we won’t be seeing one of the bigger names showing up anywhere anytime soon. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Windham Rotunda, formerly known as Bray Wyatt, will be signing with any promotion anytime soon. Rotunda is said to want to wait until it is the right time to return rather than rushing things. He was also one of the highest paid wrestlers in WWE so he is not likely under any financial pressure. There is no word on where Rotunda will sign, whenever he is ready to do so. Rotunda can be a force anywhere he goes.

Bray Wyatt Might Be Getting Into Something Outside Of Wrestling

It’s something new. When Roddy Piper tried to get into acting, he was told that he was just a wrestler. When Piper was wrestling, he was told he was just acting. While wrestling is built around athleticism, there is also a lot of performing included.

Bray Wyatt: Heading To Another Company, Or Heading Home?

August 3, 2021

Bray Wyatt’s WWE release came as a shock to many pro wrestling fans. While those same fans are obviously very aware of the company’s penchant for talent releases, this one was different. The reason for that is due to the man behind the character. Windham Rotunda brought the Bray Wyatt persona to life in 2012 and when he did, he completely changed the game. His dedication to the character, combined with his unmatched creativity, ensures that he will find his way moving forward. But what is Rotunda moving toward? That’s currently the question that many are asking and with good reason. The most logical answer seems to be AEW. After all, Tony Khan’s company appears to be a great place for Rotunda, both from a financial and creative standpoint as well.

WWE Releases Three More Names

September 11, 2020

There they go too. Things have been changing in WWE in a big way this year and one of the biggest changes has been the releases that took place back in April. Several wrestlers were suddenly let go and sent into the free agent market, which shook things up throughout the wrestling world. There were other people affected by the changes than just the wrestlers though, as several backstage workers were furloughed. Things got even worse today. There are so many people who are helpful to making a wrestling show work besides just the wrestlers themselves. It can help to have someone involved to serve as something like a coach for the match and to help lay things out for the wrestlers involved. That is where a veteran presence and mind can help, but some of the better backstage WWE minds are now gone. Three backstage WWE names were released on Thursday, with two producers and a scout being released. Producers Mike Rotunda and Sarah Stock were both released, according to PWInsider and Fightf..
