The late and great Bray Wyatt recently passed away after battling a long illness at the age of 36. However, during his stint with the WWE and his releases from time to time, Wyatt never ceased to amaze the WWE audience. Very few people will remember that Bray Wyatt made his debut as a small-time member of CM Punk’s infamous Nexus group. WWE initially brought Windham Rotunda in as Husky Harris.

He served as CM Punk’s henchman in the Nexus group. At that time, Husky Harris had minor roles on the WWE roster and didn’t participate in significant matches. Wyatt was later cast aside by Randy Orton, known as the legend killer, after taking a punt kick to the face. This led to his release from WWE. A recent account from WWE manager Armando Estrada unveils the genuine story of Wyatt’s incredible return to WWE, leaving the world amazed.

Husky Harris might have faded from memory, but not Bray Wyatt. He completely changed the perception of WWE heels. At first, he arrived without a clear purpose, inflicting pain on fellow wrestlers backstage. Through mind games, brutal gorilla attacks, and his mesmerizing promos, he redefined how heels were seen in WWE.

The trio of Bray Wyatt, Eric Rowan, and Luke Harper regularly targeted different WWE superstars, selecting their victims randomly. Bray Wyatt even faced off against the legendary Undertaker, a feat that few attempt due to fear. Despite not defeating the Undertaker, Wyatt boldly confronted him and played mind games, leaving a significant impact on WWE during their showdown. Now, Armando Estrada recently recalled a story of Bray Wyatt about how he was kicked out from the WWE.

When he initially debuted as Husky Harris he was just a minion of CM Punk, who did not get screentime or any matches. He usually stood at the ringside and supported CM Punk by making interferences along with other members. This small tile role was later cut off from the WWE by the orders of Vince McMahon. 

After the end of the segment where Randy Orton punt kicked Husky Harris out of the WWE, Wyatt made a bold statement to the chairman of WWE. He said, “You haven’t seen the last of me. I guarantee you, I will be back.”  The tables turned a few years later when Husly Harris who many considered the the weakling of Nexus turned into the Nightmare called Bray Wyatt. He tormented the likes of John Cena, Randy Orton, and even the Tribal chief Roman Reigns. Recently WWE paid a tribute to The Fiend after his untimely passing.

Bray Wyatt left his legacy to the WWE and the WWE universe. Rarely do such wrestlers come along who defy all character tropes and establish their own unique identities. While some accuse wrestlers like LA Knight of ripping off Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, this accusation doesn’t apply to Bray Wyatt, who introduced a wholly original personality to the WWE. He did not copy anyone nor can anybody replicate his style.
