He debuted as a southern cult-leader who had his own "family" to look after him.

But all that changed when WWE decided to release Wyatt from his contract in July 2021.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that Rotunda's asking price was "too high".

This makes sense, because it was heavily rumored that Rotunda would show up in AEW following his release; but that never happened.

[{"selector":"#anim-3416fbce-5405-457b-b978-5cc92cedc559","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dacc3640-9593-4146-9de0-67435156cf02","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08c71d88-652a-4846-a43a-c6d566ca6c21","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-123.89706%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-43b2c90f-ec4a-45be-a74f-9e63b51c2670 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] But it looks like he isn't in a rush to get back in the ring, as he has been working on several other projects, including a horror film with special effects legend Tom Savini.
