Bray Wyatt's WWE release was initially reported to be a cost-cutting measure
Bray Wyatt last wrestled for WWE at WrestleMania 37 where he faced Randy Orton as his alter-ego, The Fiend. While fans were expecting Wyatt to pick up the victory and get his revenge, the match saw a massive shocker as Alexa Bliss turned on The Fiend, costing him the match.
The WWE Universe was excited to see where the story goes for Bliss and Wyatt, however, there was no payoff and Bray Wyatt went on a hiatus from WWE programming.
On 31 July 2021, WWE announced the release of Bray Wyatt, much to the shock and disappointment of the fans. Initial reports suggest that he was released as part of cost-cutting measures.

On the latest Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast, Andrew Zarian reported that there were multiple other reasons behind Bray Wyatt's release. As per the report, Wyatt was being "difficult" and had performance and weight issues.
“Bray was being difficult. And I’m gonna fill in a lot, I’m not even gonna quote. Because I have the quote, (but) I don’t wanna quote it. He was a little difficult, he had some performance issues in the ring, and he had some weight issues. I’m not saying that that’s the reason, I’m not gonna say that’s the reason, but you can kind of piece things together as to the things – when you evaluate a talent and you’re like, ‘Okay we need this and we need that and this is the plan moving forward’, you need someone… sometimes the decision is easier to make if you make it more difficult for them to make that decision," said Andrew Zarian.
“So, there is no one reason, by the way, let me just put it out there," Zarian added. "Financial, yes. There was a financial issue, there were plenty of other scenarios here. I don’t think he was happy. And I would tell you that these decisions are not cut and dry. It’s not like, ‘Oh it was a money thing and that’s it’. Obviously they’re gonna say that, that’ll be the public answer. Because most likely, it played a part in money, because you can only like some guys so much when you’re losing money. I’m not saying they were losing money but I’m just putting it out there like that. There were numerous reasons. Not one."
