On his recent appearance on WWE’s After The Bell podcast, Rollins and the host Corey Graves talked about that very promo class of Bray Wyatt they both witnessed together.

Rollins said, “What it turned into, I could have never imagined, that was special, but I can’t remember the time, place, I don’t remember the day, I don’t remember, we had a million promo classes, but I remember distinctly the first time I heard his voice, that Bray Wyatt delivery, that cadence, that whisper changed everything. And then he was off to the races from there.”

He went on to praise Wyatt for his patience and resilience in delivering that character and believing in his creativity. He added, “His creativity was second to none. Character work and effort that he put into that character and what the vision for Bray Wyatt was, second to none.”
