Bray Wyatt was without a doubt one of the most creative stars in WWE history, and his ideas left a big impression on the fans. One of Wyatt’s most famous personas was The Fiend and it sounds like the former WWE Champion wanted to eventually pass the mantle of The Fiend onto another WWE Superstar.
Recently Karrion Kross appeared on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, and he explained that Bray Wyatt and Nick Manfredini once pitched an idea that would have seen Kross become a symbiote version of The Fiend.
“I remember one story that Windham and a fellow named Nick Manfredini, he was an incredible writer with WWE. They were writing for me, and they ran it by me to see if I would like it. At one point, they wrote this thing where I was in a church queue, and it seemed like I was confessing to someone behind the other side of the door, like how you see in horror movies and stuff like that, and you couldn’t see my face, and there was a monologue, and I don’t want to say what the monologue was, because maybe there’s a way to get to it. Maybe there’s a place for it. But by the end of it, I leaned forward.”
“Windham and Nick wanted me to have the Fiend mask on, and there was an idea out there that they were coming up with where Windham would have to overcome, or Bray Wyatt would have to overcome that side of him that he didn’t really want to get near, so that was that was a really cool concept. I thought maybe we could revisit and and reformat Jason Baker, who’s an amazing Hollywood FX artist. He did a lot of Bray’s masks. They were talking about maybe potentially giving me like a symbiote of The Fiend on my shoulder and up my arm.”
Kross went on to say that the idea could still easily be used, and he could become the villain that The Wyatt Sicks deserve when he added, “We can still go back down that road very, very easily. The way I’ve always thought about anything I would do with the Wyatt Sicks at this point is to be the villain that Windham would want me to be for them. They need a strong opposition. It’s cool to have them run people over and take people out and show dominance. But at some point, even like Superman, he’s got to hit that kryptonite at some point. Then the story becomes really interesting. If Superman is invincible and he runs through everybody, you kind of check out after a while, right? So, if we revisit that, that’s what I want to do for them. I want to be the villain they deserve.”
