History Wrestling / BrayWyatt

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A strange, rare storyline example saw the Wyatts end up in a feud because their actions inadvertently pissed off a third party. They went after Wrestling/JohnCena during an important match teaming him and two other Superstars against Wrestling/TheShield, with the winning team being awarded the three spots that were left in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Since they attacked Cena, the Shield were disqualified and lost their shot at headlining [=WrestleMania=]. The Hounds of Justice, predictably, were ''[[UnstoppableRage not happy]]'' about this, to the point where they demanded that Wrestling/TripleH give them a match against the Wyatt Family. [[CoolVersusAwesome The]] [[EvilVersusEvil result]] was [[Awesome/ProfessionalWrestling AWESOME.]]

** It seems like there's a lot of [[invoked]]RealitySubtext within the "Firefly Fun House", with Huskus the Pig Boy, the Wrestling/VinceMcMahon devil puppet, etc.

* DepravedKidsShowHost: What he shockingly emerged as when he returned on the April 22, 2019 episode of ''RAW'' as the host of the "Firefly Fun House", dressed like an evil Creator/FredRogers and using a chainsaw to cut up a cardboard standee of his old character while laughing maniacally. The third episode also featured Mercy the Buzzard (who speaks in a voice that sounds like it's coming out of an old, tinny speaker) killing and partially eating Rambling Rabbit after the latter tried to force him to adhere to his bohemian worldview and ideologies, which Bray quickly shook off with AnAesop about self-expression and {{Forgiveness}}. ''Jesus''.

* GutturalGrowler: in comparison to Bray's higher, cheerier tone in the Fun House, the Fiend's voice is a deep, gravelly, demonic growl.

* AlasPoorVillain: It's hard to call The Fiend a "villain" necessarily, but he's definitely not a hero. Despite the fact that The Fiend is implied to be a literal demon possessing Bray Wyatt and driving him to do horrible, wicked things to anyone who crosses him, Randy Orton was clearly painted as the {{heel}} during their 2021 feud, which says ''a lot'' about the kind of person Orton has become.
* AliceAllusion: The RAW October 26 '20 episode of ''Firefly Fun House'' shows him having a tea party with his puppet pals and him dressed as The Mad Hatter and Alexa Bliss being Alice and having poisoned Ramblin' Rabbit's tea with arsenic. Bray and Alexa even quote the famous "We're all mad here" speech from the book.

* AllThereInTheManual: The story behind Sister Abigail, the namesake of Wyatt's finishing move, is told exclusively through an eerie video on WWE's website [[http://www.wwe.com/videos/bray-wyatt-tells-the-tale-of-sister-abigail-26143801 here]].
* AmbiguouslyHuman: His main roster character has always given off hints of this, but "The Fiend" takes it up to eleven. Even if you go with the most recent [[invoked]]WordOfGod explanation of a supernatural entity possessing and empowering Bray Wyatt's body, a human body is still a human body and should therefore, one would think, be subject to humanlike limits in terms of how much damage it can take before giving out. [[ImplacableMan Not the case for the Fiend.]] Wrestling/SethRollins has done a number things to the Fiend that should kill a normal person outright but have only managed to stun The Fiend ''very'' temporarily. It's been discussed by both Rollins and commentators that they don't even think Wyatt is human anymore.

** Sheep. Wyatt often gives speeches about the sheep walking upright and turning on the wolves, and both Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman wore a child's sheep mask when not wrestling... not to mention Wyatt's occasional singing of "Mary Had A Little Lamb."

** It's a bit unclear, as the Wyatts go after ''everyone''. Even ''Wrestling/TheShield''. Then they targeted Daniel Bryan, and have since targeted John Cena, The Usos, and Chris Jericho.

** Wrestling/TheShield. Bray has had an obsession with the Shield boys ever since the Wyatt/Shield feud in early 2014, and absolutely refuses to leave any of them alone. Wrestling/SethRollins only evaded his wrath because he was under the protection of Wrestling/TheAuthority. Once he lost that and Bray was traded back to ''RAW'', Rollins immediately became one of his next targets before Bray was distracted by Finn Balor.
*** Wrestling/DeanAmbrose became a fairly violent one as well. It all started when Bray wanted to "heal" Ambrose but Ambrose declined by smashing him with a chair. This spiraled down into Ambrose breaking his "sacred" rocking chair and Bray smashing Ambrose's neck with a chair against the steel steps. However, it's not as strong an example because Dean only went after Bray because he screwed Dean out of finally getting his revenge on Seth Rollins, his one, true foe, and the realization that Bray wasn't going to leave him alone any time soon.
*** Wrestling/RomanReigns. While the Wyatt Family reuniting in 2015 and feuding with Reigns, Ambrose, and Orton has bad blood on all ends, at the core of it all, it comes down to Roman and Bray. It started with them, and considering how much the two hate each other now as the months wear on, it's going to end with them.

* DepravedKidsShowHost: What he shockingly emerged as when he returned on the April 22nd 2019 episode of ''RAW'' as the host of the "Firefly Fun House", dressed like an evil [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Fred Rogers]] and using a chainsaw to cut up a cardboard standee of his old character while laughing maniacally. The third episode also featured Mercy the Buzzard (who speaks in a voice that sounds like it's coming out of an old, tinny speaker) killing and partially eating Rambling Rabbit after the latter tried to force him to adhere to his bohemian worldview and ideologies, which Bray quickly shook off with AnAesop about self-expression and {{Forgiveness}}. ''Jesus''.

* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Bray finds out the hard way during his match against the Undertaker in [=WrestleMania=] 31. He didn't seem to learn his lesson, prompting 'Taker (along with Wrestling/{{Kane}}) to give him and the Family a refresher the following November at Survivor Series.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: There is only one person in the world that Bray truly loves, and that is Sister Abigail, to the point that destroying her rocking chair was enough to piss him off. But when Orton burned down the compound that contained Abigail's soul, Bray was ''livid''.

** A terrifying case, as he can switch between this and ordinary volume at the drop of a hat.

* EvilLaugh: Wyatt has a very high pitched, almost childlike giggle. It is ''eerie.'' Following the emergence of his Fiend persona, almost all of the Fiend's assaults end with a audio loop of Bray's laugh playing over the pitch-black arena.

** In terms of other well-known wrestlers, he compares in a lot of ways to a young Wrestling/MickFoley (the original Mankind persona in particular). He even uses a variation of the Foley pop. Foley himself even signs off on this comparison, tweeting the day of [=WrestleMania=] XXX that Wyatt is "A darker, meaner, more athletically gifted version of what [he] brought to the table." And The Fiend has adopted the Mandible Claw, even using it on Mankind himself once.

** As the host of Firefly Fun House, he's essentially playing a psychotic [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mr. Rogers]]. And it is ''absolutely creepy''.

* FauxAffablyEvil: As the host of the "Firefly Fun House" he acts like Mr. Rogers...and then he shifts into the side known as "The Fiend" and he's absolutely sinister, malevolent and downright ''evil''.

** As the Fiend, Wyatt has adopted the Mandible Claw as a secondary finisher after attacking the move's most famous user, Wrestling/MickFoley, at ''Raw Reunion''.
