"He needs to get some of the rust off" - Wrestling veteran reacts to Bray Wyatt wrestling former world champion at WWE event (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about Bray Wyatt competing in his first match since his return earlier this year.
The Eater of Worlds returned to WWE at Extreme Rules. Since then, he has appeared in several segments but hasn't had a match on TV. However, Wyatt finally had his first match this Monday at a live event at Madison Square Garden. He defeated former world champion, Jinder Mahal, using Sister Abigail during the show.
On this week's episode of Legion of RAW, Russo suggested that WWE was doing the right thing in booking Bray Wyatt in a few live events before his first televised match. The veteran detailed that Wyatt may have some ring rust since he hasn't competed in almost two years.
"I think it's okay. If he hasn't wrestled in that long he needs to get some of the rust off. He hasn't wrestled in a long, long time. I don't have an issue with that. I can understand why they did that." [10:43 - 11:00]
