WrestleVotes on Twitter is a great source for a lot of great WWE insider content, and you must have seen their work on Sportskeeda previously. So, they had posted the following Tweet sometime before the draft:
Something nobody can deny: a person who works for FOX has directly told me, face to face, they would like Bray Wyatt on SmackDown. However, it looks like he’s going to remain on RAW, with Paul Heyman being a gigantic fan of his. Not confirmed, but we’ll see.
While Paul Heyman will not be on hand to lend his immense expertise when it comes to building The Fiend, I do suppose that Eric Bischoff is not an incapable mind either. Responsible for arguably the biggest wrestling boom in the history of sports entertainment, Bischoff should do right by The Fiend, in the coming months.
We've all seen the little cameos from Bray Wyatt and The Fiend on FOX when his image would show up without anyone expecting the same. It is very clear that negotiations were ongoing, but FOX won the tug of war, for The Fiend, at the very end.
