Karrion Kross recently shared insights into the creative direction Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) had planned for the Wyatt Family before his death in 2023. Wyatt aimed to extend the Wyatt Family into a larger faction that would span multiple WWE brands, including RAW, by adding new members like Kross himself.
Details of the Proposed Wyatt Family Extension
Kross explained that Wyatt had envisioned a broader group that involved not only him but also wrestlers Vinnie and Dutch as part of this new incarnation. Wyatt had even created a unique name for this expanded faction and intended for the group to appear on different shows beyond the original platform.
“Windham had so many crazy ideas, like, you know, The Righteous. Dutch and Vinnie — Bray wanted to start with the six, but he wanted to expand. One of his ideas was to have me, Vinnie, 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 another show, like RAW.” —Karrion Kross
The Role of Jason Baker in Bringing Wyatt’s Ideas to Life
Kross also highlighted the important role of special effects artist Jason Baker, who collaborated closely with Wyatt on these ambitious plans. Baker was deeply involved in crafting the visuals and atmosphere that would have defined the expanded Wyatt Family’s presence.
“Man, Jason Baker needs to write a book. He was Windham’s guy. I would hear anything second or third hand, but Jason could tell you more about it. The stuff that they were ready to do together was incredible.” —Karrion Kross
The Impact of Wyatt’s Vision on WWE’s Future
Although Bray Wyatt passed away before this expanded Wyatt Family concept could materialize, Kross’s revelations underscore the creativity and forward-thinking approach Wyatt possessed. His plans hinted at a significant evolution within WWE’s faction storytelling, promising a more expansive and multi-dimensional Wyatt Family in the future.
