The eerie coincidence between Bray Wyatt’s shocking death and Vince McMahon’s birthday has certainly left a lot for the WWE fans to discuss on social media. However, the conversation about Bray Wyatt and Vince McMahon goes way further.
Bray Wyatt was by far one of the most creative minds in wrestling business. He was one of the most captivating characters in that company’s history.
But on the flip side, Vince McMahon creatively fucked him and took him for granted.

It is quite out there in fans’ knowledge that Vince McMahon did not like Bray Wyatt. The likeness had to do with creative disputes between Wyatt and McMahon. Some reports indicate Vince McMahon did not like working with Bray Wyatt towards the end of his tenure with the company. It was partly why, as soon as Triple H jumped to the position of the creative board, fans grew excited about Bray Wyatt’s return to WWE.
Vince McMahon becomes a target of furious fans after Bray Wyatt’s death
The tension that existed between Vince McMahon and Bray Wyatt has now turned into furious reactions from fans on social media. Wyatt, often regarded as a visionary by fellow WWE superstars, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, always brought something new to the wrestling fans.

When Bray Wyatt was released from the company, it was reported that WWE had decided to fire Wyatt due to “budget cuts.” This was back in 2020 when Wyatt was feuding with Randy Orton. A rivalry that did not truly see the end of the day.
The decision to fire Bray Wyatt sent shockwaves in the industry, and after Windham Rotunda was shown the door by the WWE, it became clear to other WWE superstars that their job was in danger.
However, that wasn’t to be the case. At one point, it almost seemed like WWE did not want Bray Wyatt, and despite what he brought to the table, an intriguing storyline with exciting characters, everything that a pro-wrestling promotion strives for, was forcefully cut short by the WWE.
This Bray Wyatt news is just sad. He never got the proper push/booking he truly deserved. Vince McMahon sabotaged him so many times.
