5 Little known facts about The Fiend/Bray Wyatt

#1 This isn't the first time he's worn a mask

Bray Wyatt once wore a mask when he was in NXT

Whilst he was part of The Wyatt Family, the former WWE Champion had his own unique look and now many fans are being forced to adapt to the fact that he wrestles in a mask. Interestingly, this isn't the first time that he has tried to wear a mask in the ring.

Back in NXT, Wyatt was part of The Wyatt Family and began wearing a Phantom of the Opera style mask this was because his nose was broken in a match and the company didn't want to lose him from the brand until it was healed.

The mask suited Wyatt, but he opted against keeping it when his nose was healed and instead reverted back to his usual attire.

There was also a time back in FCW when Wyatt actually tried out wearing a full mask. Back in 2011, after some time away from the ring, he returned and debuted the hockey mask-wearing character of Axel Mulligan. It was a character that never made it to FCW TV but it allowed Wyatt to foreshadow his future as The Fiend.
