10 Times The Undertaker secretly helped WWE Superstars

#4 Bray Wyatt

The Undertaker shared the secret behind iconic gimmicks

Bray Wyatt is one of a kind and his uniqueness has helped him carve a niche for himself in the pro-wrestling business. Over the last few years, Bray has gifted us some of the best gimmicks in modern-day pro-wrestling.

His latest alter-ego, The Fiend’, is one of the hottest characters in WWE right now and has had the audience hooked onto him since his introduction.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

One of the reasons why Bray is incredible at portraying such supernatural characters is because of The Undertaker. During Bray’s initial days with WWE, it was The Deadman who spoke with him about the elements required for creating an immortal gimmick.

Undertaker talked about the inevitable changes in the business and how one can adjust to the different challenges as time goes by.

Talking about the brilliant bit of advice from The Undertaker, Bray said:

“I think the thing about keeping your character fresh is when you change as an individual you have to flow with it. There are times where fans don’t understand that change is inevitable or that changes are done too fast. They say, ‘We like the way you used to be.’ Or they say, ‘We liked what you did then.’ You can’t stay the same. As you mature as an adult, you find out you have to keep changing in this business. It’s something The Undertaker laid on me.”
