#2 Bray Wyatt is not in favor of his fans being called "incels"

Bray Wyatt was released by WWE on July 31, 2021. Despite the outcome, many vocal fans have continually expressed support for the former world champion.

At SummerSlam 2021, a spectator even brought a sign featuring Wyatt's alter-ego, The Fiend. However, WWE security confiscated the sign shortly after it was seen on camera.

In a recent tweet by Alfred Konuwa of Forbes, he implied that people like the fan who got his Bray Wyatt sign confiscated at SummerSlam are "incels." This led to backlash from Wyatt's supporters and even got the former WWE Superstar's attention.

Check out his reply to Konuwa's tweet below:

In your opinion, which promotion would be the perfect fit for Wyatt's post-WWE career?


#1 Kevin Fertig (aka Mordecai) mentions why WWE dropped major plans for his character

Mordecai and The Undertaker were supposed to battle it out at WrestleMania 21. So, what changed?

According to the man behind the 'Mordecai' gimmick, Kevin Fertig, a real-life bar fight brought a premature end to his SmackDown run in 2004. He said the same while appearing on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted:

"I was supposed to go against The Undertaker [and] Eddie Guerrero." Fertig continued, "I was supposed to do a lot of stuff. But I ended up being an idiot and I got into a fight in a bar and it just didn't work out - just didn't work out that way, man. So, live and learn."

Fertig, who was in his 20s at the time, believes the situation could have unfolded differently if he had a better business sense back then.

Although the company's big plans for Mordecai never came to fruition, he later had a comparatively lengthier run as the Vampire, Kevin Thorn, on the ECW brand.
