At the time, Rollins was just beginning to establish himself as The Monday Night Messiah on RAW, while the Firefly Fun House version of Wyatt’s WWE character debuted a newscast segment on SmackDown.
Speaking on the High Spot Podcast, Washington mentioned that he had performed as similar characters to Rollins and Wyatt under the name Reverend Jeremiah Constantine in his videos on YouTube.
“It just upsets me the fact that you can’t even acknowledge me and that you’re taking from my stuff, especially with the Seth stuff, the Monday Night Messiah. I’m pretty sure they got that from my promos. Then they had Bray Wyatt doing the newscast thing, you know, which I’m doing right now, so it’s just like eh whatever.” [H/T Bodyslam]
Washington, who was fired by WWE in 2012, also revealed that his videos were passed on to a lead writer in WWE after he asked someone in the company to take a look at his in-character work.
