Lol you dont just get rid of a guy like that for “budget cuts”. That guy is a one of a kind performer with a brilliant creative mind that has proven time and time again that he can play any role he is put into. With the money he was making and being off TV since April it is totally budget cuts.

And him being off TV since April is who’s fault?

Surprising, but they killed the Fiend gimmick so much that maybe he’s better off.

Dude had one of best minds in modern wrestling. He thought outside the box.
And I can't fathom anyone who says Alexa does it better, she's not a good fit.

Vince continues to dangle carrots over Tony Khan's head.
I really liked The Wyatt Family. It had a modern day "Flock" feel to it and Bray played an awesome and believable cult leader. Had they added some smaller guys who could step up the pace I think it would have been a legit top heel faction with longevity.
The Fiend stuff irked me. Had it been something they brought out a few times a year if Wyatt was pushed over the edge I would have been okay with it. It was always over the top all the time though and became another one of the things I hate about WWE.

Don't they usually use their real names when somebody is released? I think they do. I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist, and I think it’s in very bad taste to do this, but it seems plausible this is just a character thing. I say that as someone who absolutely would prefer Bray in AEW leading the Dark Order for Brodie. I'd be fine with that, ESPECIALLY if it meant getting Hangman the hell away from them.

I love Balor but every time these reports come up I assume he'll be somewhere close given his (reported) 7 figure salary and that he has been in NXT for a while again. Hopefully he thrives now he's back on the main roster but if it's purely budgetary you'd axe Balor before Wyatt which leads me to thinking there is more to it

I am not shocked. Alexa Bliss took the character that Bray was doing and has done it 100 times better than Bray. It will be great to see Husky Harris working in AEW though. The Fiend gimmick sucked, the Alexa gimmick also sucks. Both people were better off before either gimmick

I liked him back in the early days of the Wyatt Family, you know, the creepy cult in the swamp stuff. When he had his rocking chair and that. Never cared for the Fiend, or anything he did post WM30.

Good move for both parties. Bray was great at creating and performing interesting characters, but terrible at translating them into the context of wrestling matches. Very rarely delivered promos that built up one guy beating the other, and was never an effective heel for his position on the card. He was always more of a curio than anything else, and his characters always wore thin after the initial excitement. Pretty much every feud he had diminished both himself and the other guy, which was a shame. Maybe he’d have been a better babyface but they never fully committed to a babyface run with him. I hope he’s okay, and I hope he finds something his creative energies are better suited to, whether that’s wrestling somewhere else or some other walk of life.

Wyatt Family was great. They screwed the pooch having him loose to Cena and Taker back to back Manias, and then Rowan squashed by Rock the following year. All downhill from WMXXX…

They had no clue what to do with the Fiend but Wyatt will fit right into AEW if that's what he wants to do.

Randy Orton continues his streak of sending everyone he beats down in 2020/2021 packing from the company
