Bray Wyatt was a man ahead of his time in WWE. His ideas and creativity pushed the boundaries of professional wrestling. Even when booked poorly, Wyatt came up with new ideas every single time he re-debuted in WWE. Bringing such creativity to the canvas takes a lot of mental and creative juices, but they can backfire as much as they can flourish.

A wrestling veteran, close to WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, talked about this just a month ago. Pointing out that Wyatt is suffering from mental health issues, the veteran also gave WWE a piece of unexpected advice.

This wrestling veteran thought that Bray Wyatt suffered from mental issues

On his podcast, Keepin’ it 100, Konan talked about Bray Wyatt and his absence from WWE TV for so long. He said, “Big Bray Wyatt fan, but he’s too much trouble, he’s got mental health issues and his matches aren’t good, and as creative as he is, three million dollars for what he’s doing? Yeah, get rid of him.”

This is unprecedented as Wyatt was the favorite among many legends for being the last one to keep up kayfabe in reality. Other than that, Wyatt always had the inherent ability to elevate other superstars along with him. In the Wyatt family saga, he brought up Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman. In his Fiend era, he elevated Alexa Bliss through their pairing.

But why did Konan impart these harsh words? Well, if we take a deeper look at his comeback after being fired, we can see Konan’s argument better.

How was Bray Wyatt’s career progressing after coming back?

Seeing Wyatt come back at Extreme Rules 2022 was monumental. The entire arena was on its feet to welcome back one of WWE’s most creative minds, and he loved it. But unfortunately, that was the peak of his third return to WWE. This time he had confused and intrigued fans with social media and decrypting his Easter eggs, which led to the introduction to Uncle Howdy.

But a match against LA Knight and an incomplete feud against Bobby Lashley left fans hanging for more. Just a few weeks after nothing was happening with the Wyatt and Lashley story, fans also lost interest. But unfortunately, we’ll never know how it might have turned out because of Wyatt’s untimely death. In this hard time, our thoughts are with Wyatt’s family and his close friends.
