Bray Wyatt was arguably one of the most creative minds in WWE history. However, that trait probably landed him in trouble with Vince McMahon a few times.

PWInsider reported that Bray Wyatt's relationship with Vince McMahon wasn't all rainbows and unicorns. The former WWE Superstar had a 'topsy-turvey' equation with McMahon.

"Others noted that Wyatt and Vince McMahon's relationship behind the scenes ran very hot and cold at times," the PWInsider report said.

Bray Wyatt was apparently prepping for an in-ring return in August before he was released by WWE due to budget cuts.

"We are told that Wyatt was called by John Laurinaitis (who wasn't even at TV this week as he's in the middle of moving back to Connecticut) and informed it was simply a budgetary decision and not something Wyatt had done," the PWInsider report stated.

The Fiend was last seen on the RAW after WrestleMania 37 after he shockingly lost his match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37.
