Bray Wyatt has been missing in action since before WrestleMania 39. Ahead of the Grandest Stage, Wyatt was rumored to face Bobby Lashley. However, he was abruptly written off WWE TV due to a reported health issue. There’s no denying that Wyatt had a spectacular run in WWE before he was released in 2021.

However, after his return, fans only saw him compete in one televised match against LA Knight before he vanished into obscurity. During a recent interview, WWE Hall of Famer, The Undertaker, discussed the ways that WWE could revive the character of Bray Wyatt upon his return.

Let’s face it, The Undertaker is unrivaled when it comes to pulling off a supernatural gimmick. The Deadman protected and preserved his character’s uniqueness for three decades before hanging up his boots. The Undertaker’s intimidating presence was enough to send shivers down the spines of his opponents. His incredible character saw him vanquish the fiercest wrestlers that the business had to offer.

While speaking with Metro, The Undertaker opined on what WWE should do with Bray Wyatt. According to him, WWE should bring back the old Bray Wyatt from The Wyatt Family. He said, “They need to back Bray’s character up to the original character, get away from – they’ve kind of got themselves booked into a situation where it’s kind of difficult for him to have matches. I think the original Wyatt Family Bray, that’s the money.” 

To be fair, Bray Wyatt’s old gimmick had a formidable, ominous vibe about it. Wyatt made his debut as the leader of The Wyatt Family in mid-2013. He went on to have stellar rivalries with top stars. In fact, he even faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31, one year after the streak was broken. 

The Undertaker further recalled working with Bray Wyatt at the Grandest Stage and praised him as a worker. He added, “I got to work with Bray at ‘Mania the year after I got concussed in the Brock match. I worked with Bray – I think a lot of him, and I like what he’s doing. I think they just have to figure out how to… they need to back it up I think. His promos, and then his ability to work – he’s an incredible, incredible worker but he’s not getting the opportunity to do it.”

Nevertheless, we will have to wait and see when Bray Wyatt returns to WWE. He was recently spotted in public at a restaurant by a fan.
