The former Bray Wyatt is expected to join All Elite Wrestling.

On today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that while it is not one hundred percent, Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) is expected to join the company.

“It’s most likely happening,” Meltzer said. “It’s at the same stage as Aleister Black long before it happened. I don’t think there’s pen to paper or anything like that but the expectation is pretty strong, put it that way.”

Wyatt was released from WWE on July 31 after being off television since the Raw following WrestleMania. It was said at the time that budget cuts were the reason for his release. He had been off television due to a medical issue, but was set to return to the company at any time.

Since his release from WWE, Wyatt has been cryptic on social media. On August 9, he wrote “You can't kill it”. On August 20, he wrote “Rock Stars come and go. Musicians play until they die”, attributing the quote to Eddie Van Halen.

Sign everyone lol

If they're big stars, yes. Leaving Bray Wyatt on the floor would be foolish. AEW didn't hire Matt Cardona or Brian Myers.

Don’t let facts get in the way.

AEW didn't hire Matt Cardona or Brian Myers.

Or Mike & Maria, or Primo & Epico, or EC3, or Lio Rush, or Heath Slater, or Eric Young, or Curtis Axel, or Kassius Ohno, or Aiden English, or Kalisto, or Mickie James, or Mojo Rawley, or... you get the picture.

People act like they sign everybody when that's just not the case. If WWE let's go of talented wrestlers that AEW can utilize, I don't see why that's an issue.

To be fair, they did offer Lio one but he retired

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I mean cardona been on aew tv and I imagine wont be long till myers does i was joking

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah, he was there for sure for like a cup of Coffee. But in the end he didn't get a contract. He wasn't worth it to them, even if he is Cody's friend.

They are a few people who they have signed, I personally wouldn't have signed, and that I would cut if I could I will say that. But none of them are anyone they signed from WWE

 

[Hoss]

I mean cardona been on aew tv and I imagine wont be long till myers does i was joking

Jokes are funnier when there's truth behind them.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Was going to say, this was the inevitable lol

I’m glad, it was pretty shitty that he seemingly had the plans to return soon, only to be told he wouldn’t be returning at all. I like the Fiend, but, I hope he goes back to swamp ass Bray with the old entrance with the lamp.

So excited. Real curious to see what they do with him. I could see them wanting to do another horror gimmick, but I'd welcome his cult leader character back with open arms.
