Baron Corbin comments on a rumor about Bray Wyatt in WWE that he believes was “100% true”

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, former WWE star Baron Corbin commented on an alleged incident that ultimately led to the creation of the Bray Wyatt character…

“I will start with the backstory of it. So when Nexus was up on television, Bray Wyatt was not Bray Wyatt. He was Husky Harris, right? We’re going back here. And there is a rumor that I believe is 100% true. That Husky poked John Cena in the eye in a match, and Vince [McMahon] was so mad. Cena was so mad that they sent Husky Harris back to NXT. We’re all grateful for that because Bray Wyatt was born, right?

So this story of, like, and I’m gonna tease Randy because Randy’s a buddy of mine, but you’re always taught, like, don’t hit. Randy doesn’t like to be touched. Everybody’s kind of scared to work with Randy. And it’s not like that Randy’s tough. Sometimes, he’s a baby. Sometimes, Randy, I know you’re listening, you’re kind of a baby. I love you, but so this whole rumor of, like, scene has been poked in the eye a couple of times, and it sent Bray back to NXT for, like, two and a half years. Like, this was a massive punishment for that, right?“ (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
