After the return of The Eater of Worlds at Extreme Rules 2022, fans were excited to see his direction. Bray Wyatt was heavily featured on television after his return. Recent reports reveal that there were huge plans for Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss on WWE television.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE had some interesting plans for Wyatt heading to WrestleMania 39. Bray was originally to face Uncle Howdy at Mania, which would have involved Alexa Bliss. Uncle Howdy was an integral part of Bray’s storyline. Furthermore, Bliss was all set to return to her former gimmick with Wyatt.

All these plans were scrapped after Wyatt went on hiatus during WrestleMania 39 weekend. Following that, Bliss’ plans were snubbed as well. While fans were expecting to see the cult leader make his return, the very unfortunate news of Bray Wyatt’s sudden demise broke the hearts of the pro wrestling world.
