#2 WWE Chairman Vince McMahon wanted two released superstars in Bray Wyatt’s faction

The Fiend

Former WWE Superstar Mike Bennett (fka Mike Kanellis) was recently interviewed by the Metro. He revealed some interesting information during the interview. Bennett said that at one point, there were plans for him to be a part of a faction led by 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt.

According to Bennett, Vince McMahon wanted to see The Fiend lead a group and he was supposed to be one of its members along with Eric Young, another former WWE star. Here’s what Bennett said:

"Early on when Bray Wyatt turned into The Fiend, Vince was always high on having Bray lead a group for some reason – he always wanted him to lead a group. We were about a week away from making it happen where me and Eric Young were gonna be part of Bray Wyatt’s group. We were gonna actually be – they were gonna bring to life the puppets. Each puppet was gonna represent an actual person. I don’t remember, there were talks that I was gonna be Sister Abigail and Eric Young was gonna be a buzzard."

Mike Bennett was released by WWE last year due to the COVID-19 budget cuts.
