6 recently released WWE Superstars who have turned to acting

#3. Former WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt joined WWE nearly 13 years ago. During his tenure with the company, he proved himself to be one of the best actors, adopting a few different entertaining gimmicks.

He also became one of the most accomplished superstars on the roster, winning three world titles and two tag team championships. Nonetheless, Vince McMahon's company released Wyatt from his contract last July.

Since his departure, Wyatt has not competed inside the squared circle. Instead, Callosum Studios owner Jason Baker recently revealed that the former Universal Champion will be playing a role in a new feature movie.

"He’s a phenomenal collaborator, he’s become a really good friend, and we’re actually—you’re the first person that we’re publicly telling about—we’re starting a film at the end of the month," Baker told Alistair McGeorge of Metro.

Wyatt's last wrestling appearance came at WrestleMania 37 when he lost to Randy Orton. Although his 90-day non-compete clause with Vince McMahon's company ended on October 31, 2021, he has not joined any other wrestling promotion.

The former RAW Tag Team Champion now seems focused on kicking off his acting career.
