Bray Wyatt stayed away from the world of professional wrestling for almost a year. But the former WWE champion finally emerged back to WWE at last year’s WWE Extreme Rules event, signaling the return of dark days in the company.
Bray Wyatt recently opened up about the entire situation. He mentioned losing two people close to him, including Brodie Lee, and being fired from his job saw Wyatt lose himself in the process. He spoke about this during an interview with Ryan Satin on Out of Character.
“There was so much going on, and it was out of nowhere. I wasn’t prepared for any of that. I lost my childhood best friend, I lost Brodie (Lee), I lost my best friend from college, Mark Olive. It was something that I think I didn’t deal with very well. Brodie’s wife Amanda and his kids dealt with it better than me and (Erick) Rowan did. There is something there that reminds me of him every single day. That time period was such a conundrum for me, and I wasn’t myself. It took me a while to remember what makes me, me. It was a long journey, but it’s led me here to this moment. This is the best I’ve ever felt.”
