Bray Wyatt confuses fans with cryptic Van Halen tweet weeks after WWE exit

Bray Wyatt has continued to baffle fans after his WWE release and dropped another cryptic tweet.

The former world champion, who was shockingly released by the company at the end of July after eight years, has once again taken to Twitter on Friday and shared a post offering more questions than answers.

Quoting the late, great Eddie Van Halen, he tweeted: ‘Rock Stars come and go. Musicians play until they die.’

Honestly, no one really knows what to make of it at this point, with Bray rarely doing things by accident or without at least some semblance of a tease.

Of course, fans were quick to try and find some meaning in the tweet – one person noted that Elias killed off his rock star alter ego recently – while plenty of people simply speculated about Bray’s future.

Naturally, others just took the opportunity to tell the star how much he’s missed.

They’re not alone, as WWE superstar Seth Rollins – who worked with Bray over the years, including when The Shield feuded with the Wyatt Family and during his own rivalry with The Fiend – has weighed in on the star and his impact on him personally as a performer.

He exclusively told Metro.co.uk: ‘Bray Wyatt – God, I miss him. But I wouldn’t say that I drew much inspiration from him. He was way out there with the stuff he wanted to do character-wise – and it worked for him.

‘For me, not so much. That’s not really where I sit when it comes to characters in wrestling. but it worked well for him.’

Within the first hour of Monday Night Raw this week, Wyatt posted a haunting piece of artwork which appeared to be a new mask, which could be a hint at another evolution for The Fiend character.

Not giving too much away, he simply wrote alongside the picture: ‘You can’t kill it.’

The post caught the attention of fans, including actor Freddie Prinze Jr, who worked for WWE on the SmackDown creative team in the past and certainly seemed impressed here.

Replying on Twitter, he simply said: ‘Preach’.

It’s a rare post for Wyatt nowadays, as he only recently tweeted after a fan suggested they had found a hidden message in the final Firefly Fun House segment, which aired on the Raw after WrestleMania 37 and saw Wyatt talk about being reborn as he appeared to be shifting towards a healer or preacher character.

Another person agreed that he might have been foreshadowing his release, and while it could seem like a stretch, the man himself hinted there could be something to it.

Keeping things as cryptic as ever, he simply shared a red circle emoji as a reply, which honestly could mean anything at this point – but the idea of things coming full circle is an intriguing one.

Wyatt hasn’t been seen on screen since that show in April, which came one night after he lost to Randy Orton at the show of shows.

Fans and fellow wrestlers have been stunned by the news, with Alexa Bliss – who has worked with him extensively over the past 12 months – paying tribute moments after the announcement.

She tweeted: ‘I really am at a loss for words… thank you so much Windham for everything you’ve done for this company. The most fun I’ve had is working with you. Such an amazing talent & the most kind person. I’m just in shock.’
