The passing of Bray Wyatt took the entire wrestling world by surprise. Almost all the superstars from WWE, AEW, and other promotions paid tribute to the former champion. However, due to the untimely passing, a lot of dream matchups could never come to fruition. Recently, former NXT Champion Karrion Kross revealed that he had plans with Wyatt to have a WrestleMania showdown.

While talking to Chris Van Vliet, Kross said, “So we fast-forward. I haven’t talked to like anybody but my wife about this. So fast-forward, we were supposed to work last WrestleMania. Nobody knew that except for a collection of writers and some people in the office. [Van Vliet clarifies, was this WrestleMania 39?] Yeah. We were slated to do something.”

The 38-year-old also said that this was primarily Rob Fee’s idea. WWE brought in Fee to write storylines for Bray Wyatt. Moreover, Karrion Kross revealed that the storyline for a feud between him and Wyatt would have involved Alexa Bliss, Bo Dallas, and Scarlett Bordeaux. However, nothing materialized as Wyatt went out of action in March.

The feud between Bray Wyatt and Karrion Kross would have been a must-watch. Wyatt was one of the best cryptic characters in WWE, and Kross’ character also followed the same pattern. Therefore, this fantasy matchup would have been nothing short of entertainment. Unfortunately, it will always remain a dream matchup.

Bray Wyatt’s faction was in the works for a debut

When Bray Wyatt made his return in October 2022, numerous rumors surfaced suggesting he might form a faction. Speculation arose that Uncle Howdy was the first member, with others potentially joining later. However, everything abruptly halted due to Wyatt’s tragic passing. Rumors speculated that The Eater of Worlds had been in the process of forming a faction called Wyatt6.

Ringside News reported that they interviewed Dutch from the tag team of Dutch and Vincent, who confirmed plans for them to join Bray Wyatt’s faction in WWE. He mentioned that the faction’s debut on the main roster wasn’t far along. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding Wyatt’s potential return temporarily halted plans for Wyatt6.

Following Bray Wyatt’s passing, many plans involving the former WWE champion were left unfinished. It has been over a month since the former Universal Champion’s passing, yet online messages and posts continue to remember one of the most creative minds of this generation.
