Jim Ross On If Bray Wyatt Was Interested In Joining AEW

Bray Wyatt has been one of the most talked about names in wrestling ever since he was released last year, and the former Universal Champion recently made his big return to WWE at the Extreme Rules premium live event.

During his time away from WWE there were a lot of people wondering if Bray could show up in AEW. Ultimately a run with AEW didn’t happen for Bray Wyatt, and Jim Ross explained on his Grilling JR podcast that he’s not sure if there were ever serious talks between Bray and Tony Khan.

“I don’t know if Bray Wyatt ever interviewed with Tony Khan or not, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did, I don’t know,” Ross said. “Bray may have had this plan all along, take some time off, go back to the roost, the nest [referring to WWE]. I don’t know if [Khan and Wyatt] have ever talked, hell I don’t know. I’m not a talent relations guy, I don’t get involved in that. 

“I think the horse is out of the barn, he wanted to get back to WWE and I don’t think any amount of money that Tony could’ve offered was going to supplant his career in WWE. I may be wrong too, I don’t know. I think you’re silly in the wrestling business if this talent was a free agent if you didn’t at least engage in a conversation to determine his level of interest if there was any. My take on it was there was never any major interest, it was all about the right place, right time impacting the game.”
