Bray Wyatt’s Former Stablemate Opens Up on His Transition to Acting; Says He Now Wrestles for “Fun” – “It’s a Lot Easier for Me to Separate Them”

Professional wrestling is no lesser than acting itself. One of the most promising entertainment businesses, pro wrestling never fails to entertain the fans, and let them have a gala time. WWE superstar Bray Wyatt is one of the prime examples of creativity and acting in pro wrestling. His storytelling methods and creative nature has often led to him providing the fans with a unique experience.

Recently, a former stablemate of Wyatt made his transition to an acting career from a pro wrestling one and explained why he did so.

Which former stablemate of Bray Wyatt changed his career to acting?

Erick Redbeard or formerly known as Erick Rowan, recently changed his career to become an actor. After he was released by WWE in April 2020 due to budget cuts, he started discovering new career paths and settled on acting.

Recently on the  Heated Shenanigans Podcast Redbeard spoke about his career transition, and how he is enjoying it. The 41-year-old said, “It’s funny, we just did a skit that came out last year for ‘I Think You Should Leave,’ and they had a wrestling skit involved which is pretty funny because it’s a wrestling skit.”

The former wrestler further stated, “But I still wrestle because it’s fun and I still love wrestling.” He clarified that although he rarely wrestles now, he likes doing it because it’s a fusion of both his careers. He said, ” It’s a weird melding of the worlds and it’s a lot easier for me to separate them now that I’m not signed to a particular company.”

After being let go by WWE in 2020, Redbeard is yet to make his return to the company. Although, he has occasionally made his appearances for AEW. Twice in 2022, and once in 2020 during his cameo for the Brodie Lee tribute. Rowan’s time with Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper in the Wyatt Family was one of his most memorable runs, along with his alliance with Daniel Bryan in 2019.

Redbeard started his acting career with a gig in the movie, ‘Ghosts of The Ozarks.‘ He has also been a part of ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ and ‘I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.’

When will Eric Redbeard’s former stable leader Bray Wyatt return to WWE?

Bray Wyatt has been out of action for a couple of months now. Wyatt was scheduled to face Lashley at WrestleMania 39, but the match later got canceled due to Wyatt’s health issues. And, ever since then, The Eater of the Worlds has been missing.

It was also recently reported that WWE signed a new writer for Bray Wyatt and his creative development. After Wyatt was in charge of his own creative since his return last year, it failed to captivate the audience and instead produced lackluster storylines and matches.

It is now to be seen when Wyatt returns to WWE, and what the company has planned ahead for him. All of Bray Wyatt’s previous feuds had the touch of a horror film and followed a similar pattern. It felt aligned with the words of Erick Redbeard on how movies and pro wrestling go together.
