Questions about Bray Wyatt? Ask them here.

No. These are main event ready guys that are not too far past their prime. Or undercard guys being pushed to the moon

Raul Ortega

He’s 34. Why would he quit wrestling when he’s in the best shape of his life?

johnny oxbow

According to the wwe website she is

Patrik

Probably

Patrik

Doubtful

Fightful Select

Not what I heard

Fightful Select

Hey guys, ending this. Thanks!

Fightful Select

Do you know about the backstage morale from any higher ups after bray's release?

Carlos

Do you think live crowds will take it out on Alexa

Elaquent

Will you be attempting to set up an interview with him? Also was there any heat from him toward WWE regarding the releases of his Dad and brother earlier?

John Morris

Everyone has already asked everything id wanna know, so just wanted to say thanks for all the awesome work srs! You da real mvp

Josh Wilburn

Do you think you end up back in WWE like Joe did but maybe more in a producer role? If not, who's the best fit

Raul Ortega

If AEW do sign Bray, is it possible we can see Black and Bray into a team and have a more scary characters development?

Why does wwe love killing moral? I get if someone wants out or if contracts expire but it just seems like this wwe is a machine that just keeps moving no matter the consequences

Colt Baudoux

Do you know if he was well-liked by writers/executives? Or was there any "falling out" over the way The Fiend has been handled over the last year?

Do you find it odd that he was the only talent released today? Could there be more releases coming or was this a case of "Bray was on our list before, lets just do it now"?

Jon Kurozawa

Not about him, but what is the locker room morale like right now? It has to be like walking on eggshells.

Yes. WWE does not own that

Fightful Select

Do we know anything about the process for talent cuts? Is there a list that goes around and if so who has a say? Thanks for all the hard work SRS

Tony Bologna

Lots of (stupid) suggestions of him leading Dark Order on AEW. But could you see him doing a one off in Rochester assuming they do a Brodie Lee celebration show. Think it might be a pretty crazy/touching moment

KingoftheNorth

Internally, do you have a sense of how they can continue to justify “budget cuts” as their reasoning…when they just posted a 20% year-to-year increase in revenue and are bringing back big-ticket acts like Goldberg and Cena?

Dan Stabb

As many just wanna know if he asked for his own release. Then of course if there's a 90 day

Jose Bautista

Do you think AEW would become WWE lite by hiring him? I see it as an “oh well” situation because Bray’s merch is money. Lastly, I was discussing this with my fiancé who also watches and I said I felt they haven’t released someone this important without disciplinary reasons ever (excluding this year like Strowman). Can you think of anyone this crazy?

Joetourious

Personally, I think that was intentional. Any investor worth a damn knows he's valuable

Fightful Select

90 days?

tony Cruz

Have you heard if Bray was actively pushing for new creative ideas recently prior to his release?

John S

I just heard a tentative return was planned. Some interesting pitches were coming, but that's interesting on paper

Fightful Select

WWE wouldn't do that

Fightful Select

Yes, excluding Bryan's contract expiring

Fightful Select

Yes, it's a puzzling call.

Fightful Select

No, WWE does

Fightful Select

Was anybody else considered to be released instead of Bray (not specific names just in general) and if so, any idea why Bray was chosen to get cut?

anakinjmt

She's still on the roster page

Fightful Select

Yes. He has a lot of friends in AEW

Fightful Select

WWE is shitty at booking

Fightful Select

I doubt it.

Fightful Select

He already kind of had

Fightful Select

Oh I'm sure he knows

Fightful Select

I have no thoughts. Our sources and work speak for themselves

Fightful Select

Is there any possibility NXT picks him up like they did for Samoa Joe?

C

Have you seen MVP’s tweet about the situation and if so what’s your thoughts?

Not a question but if you talk to him let him know he's got lots of fans who haven't forgotten about him and are ready to support him in his next venture

Danny Valentin

Did he know it was coming?

David Gillispie

Thanks SRS for this extra opportunity! Do you think Bray could pivot a little bit to being a manager that wrestles similar to Kevin Sullivan? I think that role could add a lot to Tommy End or maybe to Braun if he goes somewhere else, or to a few others in NJPW.

Jared T

Do you think Bray’s release has a likely impact on Braun’s decision going forward? We know he’s had talks with both AEW and WWE for a return. But it feels like whatever interest he had in WWE is dwindling after the social media teasing and him accepting bookings (which require a contract) for 2022.

Was there a specific reason why The Wyatt family didn’t turn babyface after Wrestlemania 32?

Bryant Heath

Everyone was told budget cuts

Fightful Select

Do you think bray could fit in AEW considering it is a work rate promotion. The only great bray match I can remember was against Bryan at RR 2014

Jack Murphy

The wording, "come to terms on his release"... Do you think he asked to be released?

Jules Mac

Not as of now

Fightful Select

Do they plan to continue using The Fiend character?

Dustin

Do you think investors would care about his release considering the amount of money that was and could have been made going forward with the fiend title, mask, potential burned mask, lantern etc. would they have any say in possibly rehiring Bray if both sides agree?

Alejandro Reyes

Does he "own". The Fiend gimmick?

Jules Mac

What company do you believe would be the best fit for him if he wants to continue wrestling after his non-compete is up?

Matt Black

Is Jojo still employed?

Matt Payne

Do have any idea about what the plan was for his return or were details just that we was planning a return? Felt like a chapter without a proper conclusion after the WM match.

Tyler Center

I know he'd never do it, but could Windham Rotunda buy the rights to the Bray Wyatt/Fiend character? How much would it cost him?

Do you think Bray is the biggest loss for wwe thus far in terms of releases? I can’t believe they let a genius like him go.

Brady Sprenkle

Chances brady could be headed to AEW??

Randy Moss

Considering the report that Wyatt was being "protective of his character", do you think creative control will be the key deciding factor in where he ends up next? We've heard about certain talent putting creative control of their character at the forefront of negotiations with AEW, I feel like this could be the case with promotions looking to recruit Wyatt in the future.

AJ G.

Why was Bray not included in the previous group of releases? Seems odd to release him after the Q2 earnings report.

Sheila Antonio

Sorry mine is so long SRS. This is bigger IMO than some of the others as you can read.

Angel “The New Guy” Gonzalez

Is his wife Jojo still employed with WWE?

J. Pitts

Fully aware of "wreckless speculation" do you think a trio of Bray/Braun/Rowan would make sense somewhere? I'd love to see the Wyatt Family done properly with Bray in charge. Impact seems like they'd fit perfectly with being open to something like that.

Ray Callahan Jr

90 days?

tony Cruz

Can he use “He’s got the whole world” song?

Alexis

Has there been people in the know for a while or was this a sudden move after being unable to come up with an agreement on character and future plans by both parties? This seems to be bray actually imposing his value and the company being unwilling to allow more control of those things possibly. All of that - can’t wait to see what he does next. Only got back into wrestling with All In and didn’t enjoy WWE until I saw this fiend guy. - Even made me get the network to watch his older stuff. Threw me off after the HIAC and haven’t really looked back unless he was involved.

Angel “The New Guy” Gonzalez

What do you think was Bray Wyatt/Fiend’s best moment in WWE?

Any idea on his non-compete status?

Ty D

I don't know if this was stated or not In favour or against it but did Bray ask for his release? And if it not how long did he have left in his contract?

Coby Galenzoski

Was there ever a chance of him beating Taker at Mania 31? He carried that feud and it felt that should’ve been a changing of the guard moment…

In your personal opinion. Where do you believe Bray fits in best? If he decides to return to wrestling. And do you think he would modify his character again? Or go back to cult leader Bray? Under a different name of course…

Do you think Bray can work in AEW? I think he can cause he’d have more control, and wouldn’t be forced to do lame supernatural stuff

is the Dark Order the natural progression here?

Garrick Knight

Hey SRS. Did you hear about any specific plans they had for him at Summerslam?

Preet

Did some kind of tension between Bray and WWE lead to the release?

What company do you think would be the best fit for his creativity? I would love an evolution of a Fiend-like character in AEW or Impact.

Josh Baker

With Johnny Ace delivering the news and texting talent about it, is he disliked or is he seen as just a messenger?

raymond moore

Would you like to see a Malachi Black story or maybe a Matt hardy reunion his options are unlimited wwe really dropped the ball here

Cameron

I've heard nothing of Bray's reaction

Fightful Select

When is Bray’s non compete up?

Mathew Rykiel

Do you think that his release has more to do with him being protective of his character? Feels like the budget cut route was an easier way to justify his release.

Damien Ward

Do you think Triple H can work magic again like with Joe and bring him back to NXT?

ItsWildBoy

To your knowledge has he expressed a desire to continue wrestling?

was bray being off tv for so long prior to release a wwe thing or a bray thing

e d

Probably doing something creatively, then wrestling for AEW/IMPACT

Fightful Select

I would love to see him in AEW/NJPW but feel he may retire. What's your initial think and your opinion?

Corey Dunn

90 - day non compete or something different/ exact date when he free to wrestle

The Shining Polaris

I don't know anything about that report

Fightful Select

Did the backlash from the release prevent any other releases being announced?

Was he seeking a release and is he planning on taking the full 90 day non-compete?

Trey Sherman

So if they're citing budget cuts, how big was Bray's contract exactly? was he making in the Strowman/Lana amount?

some trades

Not good! A lot of frustration, I'll have a full report on it tomorrow

Fightful Select

Do you think his creative mind will translate elsewhere?

Shawn Murray

In your opinion is it actually budget cuts, or something like Braun, where he had a big contract, that they dont want to pay anymore? Or maybe something creativly?

Do you think they started phasing out Bray Wyatt from The Fiend, (full bodysuit, insistent terminology, ex: The Fiend and not “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt) because they knew he was leaving and they want to put someone else in the role?

Goodman

Is there more to his release then just " budget cuts" did he ask for his release himself?

Ryan Martins

Always

Fightful Select

His theme song i read was written by the band Code Orange, can he use it in other places?

Kevin Wilkes.

Is it a injury related release

I've not heard of others yet

Fightful Select

Hey SRS, Bray seems like just another in a list of talent who were unhappy with creative/the fan base saw WWE drop the ball with creatively to be released. Is budget cuts becoming synonymous with creative differences at this point? Apologies if not Bray specific enough

Nicholai Crees

What plans did they have for him next month?

Aaron Mashteare

Correct

Fightful Select

Yes

Fightful Select

With him planning on coming back in August, were there solid plans in place for his continuing story? Or was that just a date thrown out to figure out where they were going upon his return?

raymond moore

Dream opponents going forward in your opinion?

Jeremy Bennett (JBHuskers)

Did Bray's release seem to come as a surprise to those you've heard from? I know reports are that his name was at least discussed in earlier releases.

Matt Castleberry

I'd say not likely

Fightful Select

What was their plans for him in august?

The Shining Polaris

I believe a 90 day, I have not confirmed this.

Fightful Select

If he does continue to wrestle after the release, do you believe NJPW be on the table? I think his style fits extremely well over there if he chose so

Vin Pensabene

Where do you think we’ll see Bray Wyatt next? I’m hoping doing horror films

Tyler Woodward

I know they said “budget cuts” but do you think this decision was mutual?

MattyFrigginC

Any truth to the rumor bray was told to be back by august and he said he wasn’t ready so they let him go?

Moenihi

Talent reaction towards the news?

Any chance he's later brought back on a cheaper contract like Samao Joe?

This man SRS looking for extra work 🤣

Ian Beausejour

What’s his no compete clause status?

Snackyy

Is this a one-off release or are other releases imminent?

I’m assuming WWE owns everything about the fiend correct? Meaning if he did wrestle somewhere else he wouldn’t be able to use it

Luke Jaggers

Is he able to use the eater of worlds character just with a different name?

Michael Branson
