I've seen so many interviews with Bray and he's never quite entirely out of character. I really appreciate that.

[@davem5950]

because he is his character

[@ezmokonnen]

Exactly. Bray already said the character's beliefs and promos are his ideas and only borrowed the supernatural elements from an old character in wwe

[@Housesider]

An old character? Probably Waylon Mercy.

[@austinlaxton93]

+icypilot3733 his character is influenced by Waylon Mercy, horror movies, and Charles Manson

[@austinlaxton93]

Oh lmao my bad bro.

[@jamster126]

I love how Bray never fully goes out of character in interviews. Much respect!

[@bassbassedlight]

I see it more as that he built his character on his own personality, so you're right he never truly breaks character because he is part of that character.

[@Daewonnni]

I like how he is out of character yet his views still reflect his character. It's almost more ominous to see him like this #work

[@jeremychism9187]

I completely agree.

[@Budkkjr]

+James Lee So true man...such a great talent.

[@sergiomiguelreis9188]

That's because his gimmick is an exagerated version of him.

[@Luciferus200581]

Often the best wrestling gimmics are versions of the wrestlers themselves, or aspects of them.

[@christapia826]

+Luciferus200581 yeah a lot of times it seems like their gimmicks become a part of their lives and eventually their gimmick slowly stops being a gimmick and just starts being who they are

[@sharona1981]

His voice is like barbed wire wrapped in melted chocolate. Gorgeous dude. Incredibly talented, too. I can't wait for him to come back.

[@marshalllee7375]

so his voice is rough but sweet?

[@TERRELLTURNER1999]

RIGHT. KIND OF LIKE MORNING/REALLY SLEEPY VOICE BUT HAS "THE GIFT OF GAB"

[@TERRELLTURNER1999]

***** YOU HEARD ME

[@jassy467]

bray interviews are so good to watch His voice is very pleasing

[@Empiricist14]

he sounds like a chain smoker

[@DatCrayCray]

+Fabio1349 Not really, especially since he doesn't smoke lol. He just has a soothing tone to his voice. Mainly from yelling a lot.

[@miikeniike09]

So humble, that's why he's one of the best wwe has had in years

[@Eagl3TV]

I'm a huge fan,i hope he gets a push when hes back. He should stop losing already! This guy is fucking awesome he is MONEY

[@falconmain8616]

it looks like he is getting a push

[@Eagl3TV]

Falcon Main A fued with new day? Hmm not enough

[@falconmain8616]

+superA they're gonna let Brey win this one and he'll be the tag team champ.

[@Eagl3TV]

Falcon Main Still

[@falconmain8616]

so he's getting a push

[@Kain40]

Bray has such a good voice. The cult leader gimmick works so well because of that.

[@MW-97]

@3:14 , you can see Aj Styles being interviewed in the back

[@Follow_Cam]

saw him right when I read this lol

[@GiorgiKvinikhidze]

right

[@BlackJohnnyCage]

Going thru my playlist & I ran across this.... RIP to him & brodie

[@cdowg187]

God dammit I fuckin loooooove his character!

[@jasonhavers5961]

Me too

[@AlAndalusiIbnRagnar]

The Wyatt Family should take over the WWE, And have Bullet Club fight them and maybe later bring the Shield into it. Wwe could have done sooo much better

[@Budkkjr]

I'm such a fan of this guy!! Thanks for sharing guys! Such an awesome talent.

[@EvrenOrion]

GREAT interview.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

We miss you, Windham!

[@BarryAllenBG]

WELCOME BACKK BRAYYY

[@andyblake9673]

great interview

[@valoxiii422]

I'm already a big fan but the more i hear the real Bray speak the more I identify with him. He knows. He knows. RUN.

[@haroldbrown893]

yea he does

[@fabulousfireent]

Bray is amazing! Can't wait to see him back in action again.

[@rtothed83]

Bray should have been the guy to end Undertakers streak at WM, not Brock!

[@mroptimistprime-bj4lz]

GAME_ON_2010 you know i agree i fuking hate that brock did it. excuse the language.

[@darrylbernard8885]

No one would believe Bray could beat Taker one on one since Taker beat the Wyatts more than he lost to them. Lesner on the other hand was someone Taker lost to more than beat.

[@blessed4674]

His personality matches his character 2 the fullest...He is 1of the wrestlers I can watch cuz u can tell it's a "True Luv" 4 the sport!!!

[@Newsky79]

get well soon Luke Harper! You have places to go! :)

[@blues4soccer]

Watching this now is crazy. Bray Wyatt is going to be walking into a marquee Mania match as the WWE Champion. The part where he talks about patience was so true in retrospect. He's among the most strongly protected guys on the entire roster now. I guess that says something!

[@jamford6527]

Such an intelligent man. His ring psychology is superb, one of my favourites.

[@DurandClay]

Great Person Behind The Scenes And One Of The Best Gimmicks When In Character. Let's Hope WWE Booking Doesn't Screw The Bray Wyatt Persona.

[@russ3529]

I believe in Bray 100%, I don't care how long it takes, I just hope one day I get to raise a glass to this man holding the world title. Revolution is coming in this business and this guy right here should be the leader.

[@balarvods1700]

Remember when Bray held a feud on his own for a month before Mania 31? I do. How many guys can do that on the roster that are above Bray on the card?

[@JakeDriver]

Him and Kevin Owens showing that the bigger guys can truly be the best in the business. Really hoping Bray does get the gold at some point in the future.

[@theg.o.a.t5870]

Man Bray's just... he's just awesome

[@not2shabby]

It's almost spooky how much longer his career could possibly go. He's not even 30 years old yet, and the dude has already been in two Wrestlemanias. Who knows what this guy can and will do.

[@treefrogjohnson7514]

Ambrose and Wyatt are the best in the business right now. Both good workers who aren't the greatest wrestlers on the planet but are so F'n passionate, so dedicated and are so much like their characters that there is this constant realism to everything they do.

[@TheM0B11]

not ambrose

[@treefrogjohnson7514]

Yes, Ambrose.

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

Yes Ambrose

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

No wonder the two put on one of the greatest feuds I've ever seen.

[@3klipze]

Rowan and Strowman are trash but Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper should be fucking stars in WWE. There is too much talent between those guys to just waste them.

[@ezmokonnen]

True.

[@MadSnake123]

Rowan is an enforcer, he is an ok worker on a stable, the kind of guy you always have when trying to play the big brawler or the jobber of the group, so IMO the guy should be around The Wyatt Family to fill those roles...Strowman is trash indeed.

[@pearlsizemore2839]

+MadSnake123 well my favorite in the wyatt family is strowman but rowan is there for no reason but I think rowan and strowman are getting the tag team titles and luke when he comes back will get the u.s championship and when strowman and rowan loose the tag team titles bray will win the 2017 Royal rumble or the money in the bank next year

[@ZTGOfficialYT]

Well he did go from as a Strongman to a Wrestler, but he has been training a lot since he's turned into a wrestler. I like Strowman as he is the tank of the family.

[@liquidnails5867]

#PushErickRowan

[@SandraudigaVali]

i like how you can see aj styles in the background from time to time

[@michaelreyes3087]

This guy is more talented than anyone else

[@arhins2222]

Does anyone else see AJ Styles in the background?

[@dylanfunk1433]

I do LOL

[@bobbyhiggins3025]

He's gonna be a great face, his character is really awesome!

[@brandonbennett8074]

Luke Harper is def going to be part of the new Bray. " The Fiend" Character. I hope so at least. Like he said. They have been together from the beginning... Its a must!

[@Karanagi]

Bray Wyatt's a clever man :)

[@ejmovement1613]

What he is saying in this interview is very interesting considering what the people have been saying in the past month about the Uncle Howdy gimmick.

[@RaidingJaguarX]

What an incredible mind for the business. It's as if he was raised in professional wrestling.

[@philarmonic5306]

bray wyatt is my spirit animal

[@yvngcurlyy-4238]

I like how Bray's voice is so deep lol

[@josephvasta5483]

Being the son of Mike Rotunda he is a gifted star in his own mind. His mic skills are very polished....

[@krubo6305]

Do you guys have a podcast

[@DominicBouchardDGH]

love Bray

[@lauvanjean8092]

I love Bray Wyatt

[@Jackazz67]

i would love to see a fued between Raven Vs Bray Wyatt

[@amarrch100]

I was never a Bray Wayat fan. However I see a face character in him.

[@romeojulias9528]

for a man who is fear itself he is really honest and I admired that I like how he is so truthful and so dignified as a man BRAY WYATT RULLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

[@leonardosilva2600]

I´m sure Bray has very important role in the burying section on Cena´s book

[@antsinmyeyesjohnson7709]

Bray has the best voice ever

[@scarvello]

I love Bray

[@TheJimjamAkiFan]

i love his voice

[@anthonyhunt8422]

bray is cool and dark at the same time cuts best promos

[@zacharybarcelona4717]

anyone who actually listens to this interview in it's entirety can type the entire thing word for word and actually take note of what bray is saying and maybe get everyone to learn a thing or two from him I encourage you to take the initiative and educate the masses

[@kyle2582]

when does he talk about him being face or heel?

[@thomasservo9231]

The Kayfabe is strong with this one...

[@shady610]

I feel like bray should have a taker like approach to his character. He should never break character and be seen only as his persona.

[@PainByFaith]

he's always in character u can tell it's his Gimmick

[@uuhhthatguyagain1777]

Bray wyatt is good on the mic good promo how long before he is wearing some gold.

[@celticthorn7697]

I love bray wyatt

[@themiz.mizanin744]

HE IS CHAMPION NOW.

[@justinosei-owusu9529]

I'm surprised they never asked them to do the purge movies

[@ViperRulerlm]

5:06 Bray fucking gets it.

[@blakemccormick5167]

Bork laser

[@eternalsquanch8445]

hopefully he will be champ in 2017. HE SHOULD B WORKING BROCK !!!!!!!!!!

[@blackleaf55]

@3:00 as a new yorker even i hate it and cant wait to leave it! Bray explains NY perfectly here lol

[@TheSolkorundo]

AJ styles in the back at 7:50 :D

[@milothaloser1443]

Bray- Next Undertaker Hunter- Next Dusty

[@doriane9184]

Me: Next Bray Wyatt

[@Kirbywhite500]

+Max Payne So if bray is the next undertaker and you are the next bray you are also the next undertaker

[@doriane9184]

Kirbywhite500 Lol i meant id rather have him be himself

[@AliceMill69]

Many fans(including me) wants Bray to be the WWe world heavy weight champion. But Bray want us to have patient and one day he will be a great Champion. So we'll just have to wait a bit.

[@ChrisDeAnna]

Bray successfully grew his hair out twice in 6 years

[@shadygamer9388]

Watching this now makes me sad for how Bray was treated at Mania this year

[@shadowvincentkiller9341]

wyatt family for cool as hell in the world to me

[@fettywapjr.ofdeath5844]

Conforming the shields return On Monday night raw tomorrow

[@toxicjellyfish7932]

People need to stop saying that Bray is going to be the next Undertaker. He should branch out and be the best Bray Wyatt possible.

[@Josugiri]

I have that book

[@connor98reilly]

I want Bray vs Owens for the WWE title

[@phillipbarnett5142]

Bray Wyatt vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin that would be a match to see

[@shadygamer9388]

BRAY IS ONLY 28 HOLY SHIT!

[@lichtundschatten9673]

I saw King Robert in the thumbnail.

[@WriteWhatISee]

I really hope WWE creative is learning from their mistakes with Roman, A slow burn with Bray may be the better route to his success. With Taker they pushed him straight to the top and it worked then but now fans wanna see someone earn their push which is why Dean's title reign is going to work.

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

Its why Bryan's title reign worked. And Ryder's IC Reign. Alright I'm bought.

[@Landood]

So disappointing that WWE won't just let the Wyatt family become the gigantic heel pillar of the WWE. Don't know where the current new day angle is heading, but they haven't done much with the Wyatts in the past year.

[@lewistaylor5420]

he should be champ

[@abrahamfarraj84]

AJ Styles in the background when they pan over to Bray.

[@adamsama1673]

And he likes deadpool!? OK I wanna hang out with Bray

[@natethagod2426]

I wish he would model is wrestling gear after Yoshihiro takayama

[@mangomangoradio]

9:00 and so, is that styles back there?

[@Lequi55]

+V Vice I think so

[@SmithCommaBenjamin]

It'll be 10 years before we see a 3-star or better match out of this guy

[@DCWDestroyEverything]

Shield vs. Wyatts shuts your argument down.

[@SmithCommaBenjamin]

lololllooolololol... that match was a joke, and Bray didn't do shit. He can't wrestle, period.

[@Rippleshanks]

You have terrible taste in wrestlers, period.

[@ZambieNate]

His match vs DB was dope and don't even pretend otherwise.

[@ezmokonnen]

The thing is that he can wrestle a 3 star match but he needs a tad more practice but due to his lack of ring tone on the big stage, he can't get it outside of house shows.

[@pierrejazraoui1799]

where is harper these days?

[@Empiricist14]

Bray Wyatt is my age. That's insane for me.

[@thomasallen4340]

MAN he sounds so cool out of character. Just a simple man

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

Not technically out of character

[@JohnnyMoose23]

😢 rip luke harper 😢

[@thelegendkiller394]

0:29 anyone see AJ STYLES at the Backround??

[@connorjeans8443]

Aj styles in the background 😂😂

[@blainecarter4115]

I love this guy I think he's awesome and I love seeing him and I I think he's just awesome follow the buzzards

[@kingofeverything2159]

I am really interested in understanding what message is Bray sending to the world and what he wants to say! I understood it like he is the guy (in real life too as he himself said) that has been hurt a bunch of times and has many mental scars and is definitely angry at the world. Thus, he wants to create chaos, shitting on the corrupt perverted system and opening people's eyes about real qualities that human should posses which would ultimately make the world a better place (love, compassion, empathy, sincerity, respect, honor). That's how I feel but I am very interested to hear someone else's take on it :)

[@BrandonGiordano]

didn't realize he's 28 years old. He could be a rad heel for years to come. Hope his career lasts

[@cedricnickerson8319]

did yall know this is bo Dallas brother

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

Yeah...

[@leosellei8590]

bray is 5 star on the mike

[@dillon_king-_darklordharke2212]

i do miss luke harper i mean really without him bray wouldent be the same without him 😕

[@ezmokonnen]

I want The Wyatt family to sacrifice Eric & Strowman in some way for being "weak followers & allowing the Wyatt name to be weak" and then Bray & Luke run everything. Their in ring ability is good and their promos are gold. And Luke can put on an extreme match cuz he was in CZW

[@gruesomewolfgaming4735]

Erick Rowan is underrated and his roundhouse kick Is awesome. A man his size should not be able to move that fast. And wait it out strowman is training to this day he's working on it.

[@martinherrera4617]

I think Strowman and Rowan would be by his side, but Harper as a single.

[@ezmokonnen]

Xenopony Gaming yh strowman loves wrestling and hes working hard. hope he takes advantage of his singles run
