5 recently released WWE Superstars who underwent a character change

#1. Bray Wyatt hinted towards a big character change before his WWE exit

Bray Wyatt was known as one of the most creative minds in WWE. After a successful run with The Wyatt Family, the former WWE Superstar brought forward ‘The Fiend’ character.

At first, The Fiend did well and came across as an unstoppable force. As time went by, the creative team could not do justice to the character and fans started losing some interest in him.

After a bizarre loss to Randy Orton at WrestleMania, Wyatt appeared on The Firefly Fun House and teased a change in character. He said something new was coming and he wanted to start afresh.

Fans were hopeful that the WWE Superstar would unleash a brand new character after the tease. Unfortunately, the company released him from his contract on July 31st, 2021.

Recent reports have stated that Wyatt was unhappy with the outcome of his match at WrestleMania and was outspoken about it.

“There were numerous people backstage who said that Wyatt was outspoken when he thought creative was bad, and by the end, some felt Vince McMahon just didn’t like him due to that," read a report by the Fightful Select.

WWE’s handling of Wyatt’s recent character changes was questionable, to say the least. He could end up making a better career for himself in a different wrestling company.
