Something Weird Is Happening On Bray Wyatt’s Twitter

WWE

Last night on Raw, in addition to the promise of several NXT call-ups, there were video packages promising the return of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, who’ve both been out due to injury. One WWE Superstar who went unmentioned, however, was Bray Wyatt. Bray’s been off TV since his tag team partner Matt Hardy quietly retired from wrestling. Bray already worked the recent Starrcade show, but was left out of the network special. He was rumored to be returning at TLC, but obviously that didn’t happen.

Whatever the plan is for Wyatt, he appears to be setting the mood on Twitter. He’s deleted the bulk of his tweets, and everything that remains is cryptic. Interestingly, a lot of it reads as penitent rather than dominant, like a man who’s realized he doesn’t hold the whole world in his hands after all.

I have so many things to fix. I realize that I was sick. My mind doesn’t work like other people’s, it gets lost and attached to ideals that are unrealistic and poisonous. My next journey will be to find my true calling.

This is goodbye.

To all that have loved and supported us we say thank you.

And ask that you have faith in us.

I was put on this Earth to fix it, to change it.

And I will not die until this is so.

Goodbye my brothers and sisters.

The journey is far from over.

Some Twitter users have expressed concern that these tweets might represent an actual mental health crisis, but given the particular sort of wrestler that Bray Wyatt is, it seems far more likely that he’s deliberately creeping everyone out to build to whatever happens next. As for what that is, we’ll have to wait for his return (maybe at the Royal Rumble) to find out. Maybe he’s taken another dip in the Lake of Reincarnation, and if not, maybe he should.
