"In honor of John [Huber]" - Former WWE Superstar shares details on potential future of iconic Bray Wyatt faction (Exclusive)
Former WWE star Erick Redbeard (fka Erick Rowan) recently spoke about the possibility of reuniting The Wyatt Family in AEW.
Redbeard is best known for his work in the Stamford-based promotion, where he worked alongside Windham Rotunda (aka Bray Wyatt) and the late Brodie Lee (aka Luke Harper). The trio was collectively called The Wyatt Family and enjoyed a successful run in the company during the mid-2010s.
In a recent appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Redbeard was asked if he would like to reform the iconic stable. The question prompted an emotional response from the former tag team champion as he recalled his time with the late Brodie Lee.
"Let's just say if I did anything with Bray, it would be in honor of John [Huber] (...) I don't know, and for me, no matter what it is it would be very emotional, and everyday, and you know, I'd, I'd enjoy it personally just because he'd be on my mind. Everytime I wrestle, I get in the ring, he's with me. So, it's uh, It's just one of those things where somedays it hits me hard and I get very emotional." (20:21 -21:06)
