When Bray Wyatt was on, he was ON.
Of all the stuff he did in WWE, I always loved his goodbye promo from NXT.
One of the best WWE babyface promos in years and years – it’s a shame this version of Bray didn’t get to be a face. He would’ve been incredible.

This was Bray Wyatt's debut on NXT, just over 10 years ago
