"Let's dance again" - Former WWE Superstar reacts to Bray Wyatt's release
Bray Wyatt is one of the most beloved WWE Superstars amongst fans. On Saturday afternoon, WWE dropped a bombshell with the announcement that they would release three-time world champion. Over the course of his 12-year career within the WWE, Wyatt would win the WWE Championship once and the WWE Universal Championship twice.
According to Fightful Select, the reasoning behind Bray Wyatt's release was mainly due to budget cuts. The call to cut Wyatt came from WWE's head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis, and sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe.
Bray Wyatt was absent from WWE television after losing to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37, but according to Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer Network, there were creative plans to bring him back in August, probably to set up a big SummerSlam match.
WWE has come to terms on the release of Bray Wyatt. We wish him the best in all his future endeavors.
