Bray Wyatt was cut due to budgetary reasons, and the nature of his WWE departure seems to have unsettled a few roster members.

"Wyatt, 34, who had spent his entire career with the promotion, was, according to sources in the company, told by John Laurinaitis that he was being cut for budgetary reasons. The news was a shock to most and led to a reaction that if they would cut him, who is safe with the exception of the tippy top guys like Roman Reigns," stated Meltzer.

Additionally, a network source told Andrew Zarian that it was a 'little scary' to see WWE cut top stars without much hesitation.
