Rejected Pitch For Shock WWE Star To Join Wyatt Family Revealed

Speaking on his ARN podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW coach Arn Anderson has revealed the rejected pitch that would have seen former NXT Champion Bo Dallas join The Wyatt Family.

For those that don’t know, Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt are brothers in real-life, and Arn revealed that this was the reason there was an internal pitch to have Dallas join Bray’s faction:

“I pitched a deal where you brought [Bo Dallas] in with the Wyatts, and you told him who he was. He was Bray Wyatt’s brother, and he was Mike Rotunda’s [IRS] son, and you know, do a deal where, let’s just say that Mike came down during one of Wyatt’s matches in his capacity as a producer was trying to break up a fight that let’s just say, Big Red and Brodie Lee, they dropped Mike and for the first time you had Bray Wyatt, you know, who, other than join in what was going in with the other two Wyatts, he pulled them off and said, ‘Not him, not him.’ Now you’ve found out that he is the son of Mike Rotunda because I don’t think that it was 100 percent everybody knew that.

“Now you have the Wyatts back off, and Bo would be introduced like the babyface other brother, who he really is. You put him there with that group, and you’ve got all these monsters with these foot-long beards, and there you’ve got this babyface who is Bray Wyatt’s legitimate brother, and you know, he’s standing over here, and it would just open up different avenues to give the kid a chance to get started and in the mix with top talent. You could have went anywhere with that. Just as an example. I know that’s long-winded, and it was just something that was pitched, but it would have given him a better launching pad than having him run around with a Bolieve sign.”

Bo Dallas hasn’t appeared on WWE TV in quite some time, with his last televised match coming at the infamous Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia on October 2019. At this time, it doesn’t look like WWE has any plans to use Bo Dallas.
