Bray Wyatt's creative mind and in-ring abilities made him highly popular among fans, with some even following in his footsteps by joining WWE. While Wyatt was making his way to the top of the business, he captured the attention of a current SmackDown star.
Bray Wyatt competed in his first WrestleMania at the 30th edition of the show. He took on John Cena at the high-profile event, and their bout was well-received by viewers worldwide.
