Shelly Martinez Claims Bray Wyatt Considered Her for Sister Abigail Role

Shelly Martinez recently pulled back the curtain on a fascinating conversation she had with the late Bray Wyatt about potentially becoming the living embodiment of Sister Abigail, the mysterious force behind the Wyatt Family.

During an interview with Ring The Belle, Martinez shared how Wyatt once told her that her name had been floated as a contender for the role.

“I was so intrigued by Bray Wyatt,” Martinez recalled. “I can’t even remember what year it was—maybe 2014 or 2015. And I’m not here to whatever, but this is what he told me: ‘You know, they’ve thrown your name around about being Sister Abigail.’”

Martinez said Wyatt expressed admiration for her work, referencing her dynamic with Kevin Thorn during their time in WWE. “He was like, ‘I’m a big fan of what you and Kevin used to do.’ And he started marking out for me. And I was like, ‘You’re marking out for me!’ I was just like, whoa, that’s crazy.”

While Sister Abigail has remained a mythic figure in WWE lore, many fans have speculated over the years about who might best bring the character to life. Wrestlers like Alexa Bliss and even Wyatt himself have portrayed variations of Abigail in WWE storylines. Most recently, Nikki Cross played Abby the Witch as part of The Wyatt Six faction.

Shelly Martinez’s story about Bray Wyatt and the Sister Abigail character reminds us of Wyatt’s unique creativity and eye for talent. It’s fascinating to imagine what could have been if Martinez had stepped into the eerie role. Whether or not we ever see Sister Abigail brought fully to life again, Bray Wyatt’s visionary storytelling continues to captivate fans long after his untimely passing.
