Wyatt had not been seen in WWE recently. His journey in wrestling began back in 2009 with WWE. Although there was a surprising time when he was released from the company between 2021 and 2022, he made a triumphant comeback in September of the previous year. During this time, he captured the attention of audiences with a mysterious storyline filled with cryptic videos that really boosted TV ratings.

One of his most famous creations was ‘The Fiend,’ a supernatural character introduced in 2019. The Fiend had a scary clown-like mask and was quite different from Wyatt’s friendly alter ego, Firefly Funhouse. This dual character concept showed just how creative Wyatt was.

While some people had concerns about The Fiend’s seeming invincibility in the ring, it truly caught the imagination of fans and became one of the most exciting parts of WWE shows. His final match was at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
