In-Ring Segment: Bray Wyatt
Wyatt reintroduces himself to the crowd. Wyatt says many people don’t know that he comes from a prestigious wrestling family. From a young age, he wanted to be great, but that wasn’t good enough. He had to be the greatest of all of them. He did what he thought he needed to do. He gave in. He gave in so much that he made a monster of himself. Wyatt wore that mask with pride. He soon understood that while he wore that mask, he no longer felt pain. When you have that kind of power, it’s hard to quit.
He found himself totally alone. That monster ran off everyone he ever loved. The crowd chants “we love you.” No one loves him. People love the idea of what he can do for them. He doesn’t even love himself. This isn’t the end of his story, and this isn’t the way he wants to be remembered. His name is Bray Wyatt, and he’s going to rewrite the end of his story. A video cuts in and says:
