Not surprised at all as he's been MIA for a better part of a year and has run threw four or five gimmicks/different takes on his character.As other have stated clearly has a mind for the business and creating some interesting characters but never could truly deliver the goods in the ring and for that matter never really made his opponent look better after feuding with him.His only great singles matches in WWE where against Daniel Bryan and everything else was a let down.
With that said and kind of a side bar was a decent draw for the company and more then likely another name to join AEW.Honestly with the way things are going AEW has more star power then the current full time WWE roster and truly think by the end of this year that they'll have better weekly ratings then RAW once Punk,Bryan and now Wyatt join.

I know AEW is the obvious choice for fans when someone gets released but if I’m NWA or Impact I throw all the money I can at him and give him control of creative. Dude has a great mind for the business and definitely has marketable ideas. Could build a company around him easilyX

Lol I dunno how the hell she gets heat for that. It was just a tweet supporting Bray and basically saying she's excited to see what he does next. But that's wrestling Twitter. Because she just shoved a picture of her face up, instead of just a supportive tweet. I'd be pissed if someone tried getting themselves over when I've just been fired. It's a picture of her face, what's the big deal. Meme's/crapposts like that exist everwhere "my face when...". Don't get me wrong, it's very played out and boring, but if I just got fired and she posted that and tagged me, I don't think I'm really all that hot & bothered about it. All it read from Bray's perspective would be "hey, you've got lots of options to wrestle still and be yourself, go get 'em". Who gives a crap if her face is attached to it. I dunno, twitter police drive me nuts. Glass houses and all that jazz, y'know? Chelsea got shitcanned and had to go back to the company she left to go to WWE. Had to swallow her pride and basically hit the reset button. Now she's evil for posting a bloody picture of her face ?

I’ll take normal ass people over stupid paranormal stuff any day of the week. Fighting in a swamp, mind control, it’s all dumb What about Taker & Kane? An undead zombie and a Demon from hell. Completely different time period. They also never fought in swamps, barns, and haunted houses. The most ridiculous I remember a Kane or Taker match getting during that time was the inferno match or maybe a casket match. I love Bray but the fiend was just utter trash. Once Bray became spoopy man with magic powers he was just a goofball. He couldn’t beat anyone and was never looked at in the same way as an Undertaker or Kane. The bigger stars constantly beat him and made him nothing.

Could build a company around him easilyX Everyone on this board knows I'm one of the biggest AEW stooges around...(It's far from all I watch, faaaaar from it, but it's still no secret) If I'm Bray, it's impact 1000%. I'm sure he's got enough $$ saved up at this point for the length of time he's been working for WWE, he can probably still work a pretty decent deal out of Impact, and his style of character that he loves to create has Impact written all over it. They love to be a little campy, a little out there, and they don't mind supernatural/farfetched characters. If we're talking about wrestling as an artform and how to maximize the impact Bray can make on the industry, Impact is the perfect place for him to land.

I remember it was rumored he’d face Lesnar at WM 32. Instead he has no match and gets embarrassed by the Rock. One of the many times they buried him.

She comes across as someone who would rather ride the wave of success from someone else as opposed to getting there herself and its a shame because I like her “Hot Mess” character. Just her rumored pitches alone while she was in WWE is insane. At different points she tried to be The Fiends sidekick, pitched to be the valet for Roode and Ziggler or Miz or Morrison at the same time, tried to be the boyfriend of Dominik Mysterio, tried to be a “sexy nun” following Seth Rollins, tried to be a third IIconic, etc… To me it seems like she was less interested in trying to get to the top herself and instead ride someone else’s coattails of success. So to me that’s kind of the reputation that she’s earned in my eyes. So when she posts a photo of herself speaking about a released talent like Bray, it again just reeks of attention seeking desperation because of a past history of just that. Just my two cents.

With Alexa basically taking over his gimmick, think her segments get boo’d now with fans in attendance? Not boo her, but the story/booking since they literally gave Brays character to her.
Kevin Dunn is gonna have to keep his finger on the crowd-mute button.

She had new gear made which is heavily Fiend inspired to wear but with him leaving had to be put on hold which is why she has been in dresses all the time.

The Fiend was such a good look and had so much potential to be a great character but his matches sucked and virtually no one benefited from stories with the character... The Fiend Alexa Bliss craprecently has been some of WWE's worst product I've ever watched as a fan and it really sucks because I had high hopes for the character from the beginning but it became a vehicle for hit or miss promos and segments that built up to shitty matches.
That doesn't mean I wanted him released or anything but I felt that The Fiend could've been so much more than a spooky character who teleports and whatever. He's a victim of WWE's failure to build worthwhile characters because it's possible that he could have been up there with names like Kane and the Undertaker. It was super shocking to see him released but I don't know what to take from it.

Imagine if Crazy Steve and Rose Mary came out and said, "we have someone who has been guiding us from a far" and out came Bray as the leader of Decay. I would love that, and I think IMPACT Wrestling would love that too. Who else could take the IMPACT World Title back from Kenny Omega but Bray Wyatt. It would just so work.

I can’t say I wouldn’t mark out for Brodys best friend Wyatt picking up the reigns of the Dark Order Let Page run with it for 90 days, have the Dark Order turn on Page in favor of one of Brody’s chosen in Wyatt. Gives Page another obstacle. I don’t want a supernatural character on my favorite wrestling show. That 🐴💩 can stay in sports entertainment. The idea of Rotunda taking his pedo murder clown schtick into AEW is irritating. The guy has talent in coming up with gimmicks, but the execution never lands. His Cape Fear gimmick with the og Bray Wyatt run had legs, but I don’t think he’s anything special in the ring. Time will tell, but I see him back in Connecticut for less money.

I'm down for this. Any version of a weirdo Bray would interact so damn well with Rosemary and Crazy Steve. It's just too bad we'll never know what could have been with Bray & Wrestlehouse

AEW is sports entertainment too ya weirdo It's a relatively meaningless term coined by Vince to get around athletic commissions and appeal to advertisers. AEW got fined by the Maryland athletic commission because some moron referee got all holier than thou, so clearly they don't qualify in that same regard. WWE continues to try to seperate itself from professional wrestling as an industry label, whereas AEW embraces that label. Ultimately it's partially a marketing tool on both ends, since identifying as professional wrestling is also becoming a calling card for non WWE entities to appeal to their target audience.

The Alexa stuff with the Fiend was pretty horrible; and kinda killed off lot of excitement with Fiend-Orton feud that I was enjoying. Rollins HIAC stuff was a big hit; the lackluster Strowman feud; Goldberg taking the title of him; The Really Lost WTF booking he got in 2017-2018; some of the start-stop go again booking in 2014-2015
Love Wyatt but the way they booked him sometimes was just garbage; I think he could do some really cool stuff in another promotion and I am sure the doors to a return will be there

They even started the build for it - the Family took Brock out of the Rumble, and I was invested right from the off. I reckon Bray and Brock could've had an interesting feud/match. You can tell plans were changed, because Brock was visibly pissed about working with Ambrose at WM32.

He’s creative and certainly is dedicated to his character but unfortunately he’s equally as boring. I like his characters but they just don’t translate well to promos and matches, especially the Fiend.

It’s literally a Vince-ism.
