Seth Rollins: The Bray Wyatt Character Was Difficult For Anyone

Ahead of a potential return for Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins has admitted that the two-time Universal Champion's character was "difficult for anyone." 

"Yeah, I mean, another crack at that one might be nice. I mean, look, the Bray Wyatt character is just difficult. If you look at anybody that worked the Bray Wyatt character for an extended period of time, they didn't come out of it better than they went in. It was very difficult to have a story with him where - aside from Randy [Orton], who obviously killed him, it was difficult for anyone. I think maybe Daniel Bryan might have escaped a little unscathed. But I mean, everyone else pretty much met a dire end for their character. I mean, that was the end for the Seth Rollins character as you knew it, 'The Beast Slayer' character. It was tough figuring out how to tell a good wrestling story with that character," Rollins told Ariel Helwani of BT Sport.

Rollins and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt feuded over the Universal Championship in the autumn of 2019. They first faced off inside Hell in a Cell, a match which Rollins lost by disqualification, before Wyatt won the gold at Crown Jewel. The programme was criticised and Rollins ultimately had to turn heel due to his falling popularity. 

Despite his difficulties with Wyatt, though, Rollins would love to work with him again. 

"I would love to have another crack at working with Windham Rotunda. He's an incredible talent. [He has] a mind for the industry, stories, and for characters that is very unique. There are not a lot of people in our business, past, present, or future that think about things on the level that he does. I would love to have another crack at working with him. Because I think we could do something extremely special. Whether that's with 'The Fiend' character or not, who knows? He's a master at reinventing himself. So if he does - if our paths cross, and he does find his way back here, I would definitely love to have another go-around. I think we definitely - there's certainly magic to be made there. In what capacity? I don't know," Rollins added.

Wyatt was released by WWE in July of 2021 but it is believed within the company that the recent White Rabbit teases are for the former world champion's return. The White Rabbit is expected to be revealed at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on October 8.
