10 Gimmick changes that saved Superstars' careers (Part I)

#3 Husky Harris becomes Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt in action

The Eater of the Worlds, Bray Wyatt, was one of the contestants on the second season of NXT. He joined the Nexus in late 2010 and went on to become a regular on Monday Nights.

Soon, it dawned upon WWE that the Husky Harris character wasn't going to work at all. He was sent back to developmental soon after.

Harris returned to WWE in 2013, after months of bizarre promos featuring The Wyatt Family. He made his debut in an Inferno match in a winning effort against Kane at SummerSlam 2013. Wyatt went on to have main event level feuds against the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker, and Daniel Bryan. Wyatt won the WWE Title at the Elimination Chamber PPV in 2017 and defended his title against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33.

A gimmick change turned Harris from a jobber to the stars, to a WWE Champion!
