Before his untimely passing, Bray Wyatt had ambitious plans for a faction involving Karrion Kross and former AEW stars. Known for his creativity backstage, Wyatt aimed to build a new version of his signature group by incorporating talent beyond <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE’s existing roster. These plans surfaced after Wyatt’s 2022 return to WWE, where he intended to grow the Wyatt Sicks faction into something more expansive.
The Connection Between Karrion Kross and The Righteous
Karrion Kross recently detailed in a YouTube documentary how Wyatt envisioned linking him with Dutch and Vinny, known collectively as The Righteous, who had been part of AEW until May of this year. Wyatt’s concept was to create a six-person group that could later expand, making Kross, Dutch, and Vinny an extension of the Wyatt faction under a new name. This faction was expected to appear on a different WWE show, potentially RAW.
“You know the Righteous? Dutch and Vinny? Bray [Wyatt] wanted to start with the six but wanted to expand. One of his ideas was to have me, Vinny, and Dutch as an extension of the Wyatt faction. He had a totally different name for it and everything. We were going to be on a different show, like RAW. Man, Jason Baker needs to write a book. He was Wyndham’s guy. The stuff that they were ready to do together… man.” —Karrion Kross
Current Status of Karrion Kross and the Faction’s Future
Karrion Kross remains a figure of interest amid widespread speculation regarding his WWE contract, which reportedly expired on August 10. Despite his popularity with fans, Kross has expressed frustration over his position within the company, which has not resulted in significant opportunities or exposure. Meanwhile, his wife, Scarlett Bordeaux, has already confirmed her departure from WWE, casting uncertainty over the faction’s continuation without Wyatt’s guidance.
The Impact and Prospects Following Wyatt’s Passing
Wyatt’s death halted his creative projects, including the expansion of the Wyatt Sicks faction. However, his brother and WWE Superstar Bo Dallas has since taken up the mantle to preserve Wyatt’s vision. The proposed faction involving Karrion Kross and former AEW talents represented a significant creative direction that could have influenced WWE’s storytelling had it moved forward, merging characters from different wrestling backgrounds under one compelling faction narrative.
