Hall Of Famer Reveals Idea He Pitched For Bo Dallas To Join The Wyatt Family

Bray Wyatt has been one of the more successful wrestlers on the WWE main roster in recent years. He’s managed to capture the WWE Championship, and the Universal Championship, but when he first onto the main roster he was the leader of The Wyatt Family.

Over the years many fans have wondered why Bray Wyatt’s real life brother, Bo Dallas, wasn’t part of The Wyatt Family storyline, and during a recent episode of his ARN podcast Arn Anderson explained that he once pitched an idea for Dallas to work with the group.

“Let’s just say, and at that time, I pitched a deal where you brought him in with the Wyatts, and you told him who he was. He was Bray Wyatt’s brother, and he was Mike Rotunda’s son, and you know, do a deal where, let’s just say that Mike came down during one of the Wyatts matches in his capacity as a producer was trying to break up a fight that let’s just say, Big Red and Brodie Lee, they dropped Mike and for the first time you had Bray Wyatt, you know, who, other than join in what was going in with the other two Wyatts, he pulled them off and said, ‘Not him, not him.’ Now you’ve found out that he is the son of Mike Rotunda because I don’t think that it was 100 percent everybody knew that.”

Obviously the pitch did not come to fruition, but Anderson noted that the idea was to help Bo Dallas get in the mix with other top talents.

“Now you have the Wyatts back off, and Bo introduced like the babyface other brother, who he really is. You put him there with that group, and you’ve got all these monsters with these foot-long beards, and there you’ve got this babyface who is Bray Wyatt’s legitimate brother, and you know, he’s standing over here, and it would just open up different avenues to give the kid a chance to get started and in the mix with top talent. You could have went anywhere with that. Just as an example. I know that’s long-winded, and it was just something that was pitched, but it would have given him a better launching pad than having him run around with a Bolieve sign.”
