Now, Jim Ross has opened up about why WWE should not have released Bray Wyatt while speaking on Grilling JR. According to Ross, WWE is paying him for the ninety days following his release. Instead of doing that, the company could have focused on using him since Wyatt is talented and it’s better to have him in the ring than make him sit at home.

“There’s politics nowadays because of the immense salaries. Bray Wyatt gets cut, he’s got to be making north of a million on a downside guarantee and he’s been sitting home. That’s not good management.”
“I’m not saying the guy should’ve been cut. He should’ve been used if you’re going to pay him that kind of cash. How that happened is a story for another day. I don’t know the details. I do know they got rid of a very talented kid and I’m sure he won’t have any issues finding work.” H/t Inside The Ropes
As of now, Bray Wyatt has revealed no details of his future plans. He still has to serve the rest of his non-compete clause, and only after that can he actively work with the industry again.
