5 biggest WWE backstage secrets that Bray Wyatt revealed

#4 Dusty Rhodes made him go to jury duty in character

From 2010-2011, Bray Wyatt portrayed Nexus member Husky Harris on WWE’s main roster. The gimmick was nothing like the “Eater of Worlds” character that fans have seen over the last seven years, and Wyatt has mentioned in several interviews how he did not enjoy his time in WWE as Harris.

During an interview for WWE’s "NXT: The Future Is Now" book in 2017, Wyatt recounted an incident when he was called to go to jury duty at a time in his NXT career when he was beginning to develop his new character.

Dusty Rhodes, a writer and creative director for NXT at the time, told Wyatt to attend the jury duty in his ‘Bray Wyatt’ character, so that’s exactly what he did.

“I was going to jury duty in my hometown, and Dusty made me go to jury duty as Bray. Dusty told me, ‘This is the perfect exercise. Become Bray.’ I literally went to jury duty as Bray Wyatt. I was so immersed in the character that I didn’t break once. Obviously, I didn’t get picked for jury duty, but I had the white pants, Hawaiian shirt, the whole nine yards. There were no fragments of Husky Harris. Husky Harris was dead, and he was to stay dead. I was Bray Wyatt. We were one.”
