WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Unexpected original plan for released star, Veteran praises Roman Reigns, Note on Bray Wyatt's release (December 20, 2021)

#3. Speculation on why Bray Wyatt departed WWE

Ever since Bray Wyatt got released by WWE on July 31, 2021, several reports have noted that he wasn't too ecstatic over the company's creative direction regarding his 'Fiend' character.

Now, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio has stated a belief that the former WWE Champion might have "made a lot of noise" about wanting to leave the company, thus contributing to his eventual release.

The wrestling journalist also mentioned why the departure of a top star like Wyatt "scared a lot of people."

"Bray Wyatt is a completely different situation. Wyatt scared a lot of people because if someone like Wyatt gets fired, then only guys like Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar are safe. I think that’s not really the case when you are at that level. The only reason someone would want to cut someone like that would be if they wanted out and made a lot of noise about it," said Meltzer.

Many fans are looking forward to what Bray Wyatt will do next in professional wrestling. However, another recent report from Meltzer suggested that the former WWE Champion is not in a rush to return to the squared circle.
