Bray Wyatt has opened up about his WWE return, discussing his first promo segment following his big comeback.
Following weeks of ‘White Rabbit’ teases, Wyatt made his WWE return at the end of the October 2022 Extreme Rules premium live event.
On the following (October 14) edition of SmackDown, Wyatt broke character to cut a heartfelt promo.
Speaking with Ryan Satin on Out of Character, Wyatt expressed gratitude for his fans, noting:
“Genuinely, that moment was not for me. During my time away, I had opportunities to do really cool things, movies and TV shows and stuff, and I wouldn’t, because I felt broken.
“There was something that was shut off and I didn’t understand why. It was literally people telling me and keeping me alive and dragging me back, telling me, ‘You should still do this, we miss you.’ I didn’t feel that way at first.
“I felt damaged. It was that, that gave me the strength to kind of build back out and explode. It was geared for them, it was.
“I despise the way my mind worked. That’s the truth of it all. I’m the first person to ever tell you all of my flaws. I refuse to watch myself back, I’ve never seen pretty much anything I’ve done, I can’t watch.
“I’m that kind of headcase, man. It’s also kind of my superpower. It’s what makes me, me, the obsession. When I’m geared on something, I’m so deep into it that there is no separating life from anything else, it just is.
“When I dive deep like that, it’s what makes me connect and it’s the reason that I have fans that are so into what I do, it feels like it’s part their life too.
“If I didn’t have such passionate fans, I wouldn’t be here, I really wouldn’t. It’s them that led me back here.”
Wyatt will be in action at the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event, against LA Knight in a Pitch Black match.
