Let's take a brief trip back in time, back to 2011. CM Punk had just taken over The Nexus and Bray Wyatt was then known as "Husky Harris," a member of The Nexus. Punk was coming off of his tenure as the leader of The Straight Edge Society and looking for a new band of misfits to control. The "new" Nexus was also in need of a strong leader, but they got a tyrant instead.

We all remember the initiation phase that CM Punk put Husky through when he whipped and beat him profusely. At the time, Husky was way underdeveloped and no one had any idea he would one day turn into the massive superstar that he ultimately became. Needless to say, that beating segment was essentially an on-screen kill-off for the Harris persona.
Since their time together with The Nexus, both Punk and Wyatt have gone on to have an insane amount of success. Now that they are both away from the WWE, the door is open for a potential storyline where the two could create some real magic.

Obviously all of this is simply speculation, but if the stars aligned and everything worked out...this could be a blockbuster feud and something that fans would immediately get behind. Here's to the ultimate optimism and hope for this idea to manifest!
The day Husky died and Bray was born...

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
