Bray Wyatt returned to WWE television during Extreme Rules last year, after being released in 2021. There were a lot of things he wanted to do after returning, but that would never happen as he, unfortunately, passed away back in August. That said, an ex-WWE writer has disclosed a scrapped movie role for Bray Wyatt.
Bray Wyatt’s sudden passing at the tender age of 36 sent shockwaves through fans and the professional wrestling community. More than a month after his passing, people continue to mourn his loss even now.
While speaking on his Wrestling With Freddie, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. talked about Bray Wyatt’s potential as an actor. Prinze Jr. revealed that he had a role for Wyatt in an independent movie he was part of. However, the budget fell through and that movie ultimately didn’t happen.
“It was kind of like the ‘save the day’ role, and he was going to play a carny. It was a horror movie that took place in a carnival, and he’s kind of the guy that helps me and my daughter so we can escape — and sacrifices himself. He was so ready for it; I knew he was perfect for it.
They watched it and they were like, ‘Oh my god, we want to make the role bigger,’ and I was like, ‘Do it, he can handle it. He’s a creative genius in the wrestling world,’ and they agreed.”
Bray Wyatt’s hidden talent was also disclosed recently. Bray Wyatt will forever hold a cherished place in the hearts of those who knew him both inside and outside the wrestling ring and that is never changing no matter how many years go by.
