#3 WWE Superstar who nearly joined The Wyatt Family: Kaitlyn

The Wyatt Family has arguably been the most mysterious faction in WWE's recent history. One of the reasons for that was the continuous mention of the character of Sister Abigail, which was supposed to be the source of Bray Wyatt's supernatural powers. While there were many opportunities for WWE to debut this character on-screen, we never saw Sister Abigail being played by any Superstar.

During an interview on The Agenda Podcast, former WWE writer Tom Casiello revealed that there was a pitch made for former Superstar Kaitlyn to be in The Wyatt Family, possibly playing the role of Sister Abigail.

Kaitlyn won the Divas Championship in January 2016 and dropped it to AJ Lee at WWE Payback in June 2013. The Wyatt Family made their main roster debut around the same time and Kaitlyn could have perfectly fit in the faction.

However, WWE decided not to go ahead with the pitch and Kaitlyn ended up leaving the company in January 2014. Kaitlyn has since made a few appearances for WWE in 2018 where she competed in the Mae Young Classic tournament and then in 2019 in a backstage segment during the RAW Reunion show.
