Bray Wyatt Plans Revealed, New AEW Signing, The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns Update – News Bulletin – October 12, 2022

WWE Plans For Bray Wyatt Revealed

Following his well-received return at WWE Extreme Rules, it looks like WWE creative aren’t going to be giving us an overdose of Bray Wyatt across all the WWE programming.

PWInsider report that the current plan is to use Bray Wyatt on WWE SmackDown.

If this week’s WWE Raw is anything to go by, however, that won’t stop WWE from signposting appearances on the blue brand to its fans during the red show itself.

Many WWE fans are anticipating the potential reveal of a ‘Wyatt 6’ faction, and who played the role of the Firefly Funhouse characters at Extreme Rules

One WWE wrestler did call upon the as-yet-unrevealed Wyatt 6 for help, however, with Roxanne Perez gearing up for a Smackdown appearance in her ongoing feud with Cora Jade.

Heading to the main brands to pick each other’s opponents, Perez put out a suggestion on Twitter that read:

“Maybe the Wyatt6 can help me with this Cora situation”

Although nothing has officially been hinted for Perez and the returning Wyatt with his retinue, WWE SmackDown on October 14th is going to be one to watch.

He’s been something of a regular fixture on AEW YouTube programming for more than two years and, finally, it’s been revealed that Zack Clayton has signed with AEW.

Clayton confirmed that he’s been signed to the company on the October 11th episode of AEW Dark.

The Jersey Shore star, who calls himself ‘The Reality’, was bold in his announcement, stating:

“Let me tell you what that means for you: number one, you’re gonna respect me, and you’re gonna worship the ground that I stand on. Number two, I’m gonna do whatever I wanna do around here, and I don’t care who likes it or not.”

Zack Clayton won his most recent AEW match, which was against Conan Lycan on Elevation

Since May 2020, Clayton has made 18 appearances on AEW programming, with a record that has seen him face some noteworthy AEW names – including two victories over Serpentico.

Clayton’s biggest match, so far, has been against the FTW Champion, HOOK, who retained the title on the August 19 edition of Rampage.

The Rock Teasing WrestleMania Match With Roman Reigns?

The Rock may be full of praise for his cousin, the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, but that praise doesn’t include giving him a place at the head of the table!

As part of the press tour for the DC Comics’ Black Adam movie, The Rock was emphatic in his table arrangements during an interview with E! News’ The Roundtable, stating:

“Who is head of the table? Without saying any names, you’re looking into his eyes right now.”

WWE’s long-term plan has been Roman Reigns vs The Rock at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood

But, could we finally see the two cross paths at WrestleMania?

The busiest man in Hollywood wasn’t going to be drawn on that just yet, saying:

“I am not confirming that at all. No. No, I am not. I know I’m going to get a text from him after he watches this.”

Wherever and whenever the match happens, it’s bound to draw the eyes of the entertainment industry.
