Bray Wyatt made his first appearance in WWE in 2009. His arrival came at a much-needed time for the WWE, as the audience was already used to all the tricks in WWE’s bag. The sudden extinguishing of the lights caught the audience off guard and surprised them. Every time the lights came back on, the Wyatt family emerged from the darkness and brutally pulverized anyone in and around the ring.
Bray Wyatt acted as the perfect sinister puppeteer who played with the minds of wrestlers and tormented them before finally taking them out. One of the most creative minds in pro wrestling, his absence will surely be felt not just by WWE but also by the fans who loved to his genius in the ring.
And now it seems WWE will be making SmackDown a special event for the former Wyatt Family leader. A recent post on X (previously Twitter) reported that veteran WWE creative director Rob Fee, a friend of Wyatt, affirmed the exceptional nature of tonight’s SmackDown.
