5 Secret things you might not have noticed about Bray Wyatt's new gimmick in WWE

Bray Wyatt is back in WWE and he is certainly different than before.

Monday night, Bray Wyatt debuted his new gimmick -- Children's Television Host. At least, that's what it looked like.

It appeared that Bray Wyatt had indeed been repackaged by WWE to form a caricature of Nickelodeon's Television Hosts. In the video promo, Wyatt addressed the children who reacted to everything that he said on television.

There were many aspects to the new character, such that it was difficult to take in with only one viewing. He had 'friends' with him on the show as well, in Mercy the buzzard and Abby the witch.

He even cut a cardboard cutout of himself, sending a clear message that this was his new gimmick and his old version was very dead.

In this article, we will take a look at 5 things about Bray Wyatt's new gimmick which you might not have noticed.

#5 The inspiration for Mercy the Buzzard and Abby the Witch

Max Cady has always been a fearsome character

Let's talk about the more obvious facts first.

The inspiration for Abby the Witch was clearly none other than Bray Wyatt's mysterious sister about whom we have heard so much over the years -- Sister Abigail. The doll was inspired by his sister, and it will be interesting to see how the power dynamics play out between Wyatt and the doll.

The buzzard being named Mercy was a significant clue as well.

Dan Spivey used Robert De Niro's fearsome, cruel, and brutal portrayal of Max Cady to form a character during his run in WWE named Waylon Mercy.

The Mercy character was handed over to Bray Wyatt, who formed his own version of it with, becoming a cult leader.

#4 Where is the bunny?

The Logo

The logo of the firefly funhouse was quite glaring as the three characters could be seen on it.

The colourful letters had Abby the Witch and Mercy the Buzzard, but there was one more character that Bray Wyatt did not introduce -- The Bunny.

There is a rabbit on the logo as well, which was nowhere to be seen in the funhouse. Given that both the others are there, we could possibly see a superstar appear with Bray Wyatt who represents the rabbit.

#3 Who punished Wyatt?

Bray Wyatt was punished

At one point of his promo, Bray Wyatt says that he has been 'barbarically punished' for all the wrong that he had done in his previous gimmick.

Who punished Wyatt? Is there a higher power here as well who is in charge of disciplining him?

Or was this Bray Wyatt's way of talking about the ridiculous booking he had received in his previous avatar?

This is one question we will have to wait to find out.

#2 The demented reactions of the children and Wyatt's message to them

Bray Wyatt

One of the things about the new gimmick of Wyatt which really grabbed the attention of the viewers was the fact that there were children reacting to everything that he said. While it started off innocently enough, it quickly grew worse.

The moment that Bray Wyatt introduced the Buzzard puppet and the children 'aww'-d, it became clear that all was not okay.

This continued to develop as Wyatt said more and more disturbing things, to each of which the children cheered. It appeared almost that the children were bound to respond to him as if they were in a trance or they were hypnotised.

The theme was set at the very end when Bray Wyatt finally made a request of the children and the WWE Universe -- 'Let me in'.

Those three words alone are enough to make this one of the most disturbing gimmicks. What if Wyatt has realised that he cannot target adults... and so now he is targeting children for his cult?

#1 Hurt tells Bray Wyatt to damage the old cardboard cutout

Bray Wyatt's new gloves

One of the biggest things, which is yet to be expounded on by Bray Wyatt was his two gloves.

Both gloves had different things written on it, and when he held them up to his face, the video shimmered for the first time. It was almost as if they were a throwback to his magical roots.

One of the gloves had the word 'Hurt' written on it, while the other had the word 'Heal'.

When Wyatt attacked his cardboard cutout figure, he put the 'Hurt' glove against his ear as if he was talking to it. Only then did he cut it down with a chainsaw.

This might be referring to another new character trait of Wyatt's -- this one is oddly reminiscent of Two-Face, the Batman Villain. He tossed a coin to decide whether his victim would live or die. The gloves might have similar reasoning.
