"When you think you've got all the answers, I change the questions!"---Roddy Piper.
WWE threw fans for a loop Monday when Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) returned with a new look.
In a clear parody of children's shows such as Pee-Wee's Playhouse & Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Wyatt has traded away his straw hat and "Eater of Worlds" persona for a bizarro children's show host (audience reactions were pre-recorded) in Firefly Fun House. Check it.
The puppet characters had been introduced over the last two weeks, and fans made an easy connection between them and Wyatt. The reason for the swerve and the new look? Impending fatherhood, I'm going to guess. It was recently announced that Wyatt and his girlfriend, erstwhile ring announcer JoJo Offerman, are expecting their first child (which explains JoJo's absence, as she's been on extended maternity leave for several weeks), and the feeling is that Wyatt wanted to clean up his character, shifting from the cult leader from the swamp to the wackiest kid show host since Stanley Spadowski (Michael Richards) in "UHF" 30 years ago.
Stay tuned.
