Bray Wyatt Told WWE to Sign Zelina Vega After Watching Tryout Match

Bray Wyatt had a lot of expectations to live up to after returning to WWE last year at Extreme Rules. Sadly, he will never be able to reach those expectations as he passed away on August 24th. He helped many people out in his life before that and it appears that includes Zelina Vega.

Bray Wyatt passed away at the age of 36, shocking fans and the pro wrestling world alike as people still cannot seem to accept the fact that Wyatt is no longer among the living.

Zelina Vega began her WWE career a few years ago in NXT and now she is one of the bigger stars in the women’s division. While speaking with Steve Fall of Wrestling News, Zelina Vega revealed that Bray Wyatt was so impressed with her tryout match that he told WWE to hire her.

“He started a Thea chant! He started cheering for me during the match and it was right as I was hitting my comeback. And he was getting everybody else involved and everybody at that point was cheering for me. And then they started clapping after the match was done, and he led that, he led that whole thing. And then I see him walk up to who was in charge of TR at the time, Talent Relations, and he said, ‘She should be with us! That girl, right there! She’s been working her assoff like she deserves to be with us.’ And I was like, ‘Whoa! Bray Wyatt just said that! That is the coolest freaking thing ever!'”
