Sometimes Superstars come up with angles of their own, and pitch it to WWE. However, more often than not, the company strikes it down. This is what happened when Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt wanted to have an angle of their own.

There was a point when Hardy and Wyatt held the Raw Tag Team titles. However, they wanted to do an angle which involved The Hardy Compound, but Vince McMahon was not quite sure on how it would have progressed.

“We did have input, but I don’t think Vince [McMahon] got what we were going for. If we would’ve followed what we wanted to do, we were gonna have Bray [Wyatt] kind of be homeless because he lost Abigail and Randy [Orton] burned his stuff down. He was gonna come to the Hardy Compound and we were gonna do a series of vignettes there, as opposed to just wrestlers on the show every week. I felt like that waters down so much. We wanted to do stuff that was gonna be [at] the Hardy Compound that was super entertaining. We had a lot of great stuff in mind but, it is what it is.”

While the idea did not work out, both of them went onto making huge leaps in their careers.
