It's starting to look like that the WWE and Bray Wyatt had big plans for the year before a still-undisclosed injury derailed all of it for the third-generation WWE superstar.
Before Bray Wyatt vanished prior to WrestleMania, it appeared that the WWE was reviving one of Wyatt's old storylines: The Wyatt Family. However, as is the fate of many wrestling narratives, this new take on an old tale was left hanging in the balance, forever untouched and unexplored due to unforeseen circumstances.
The first whispers of this plan began in January. Per reports from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, a creative strategy was pitched for Wyatt's popular Firefly Fun House - a new-style version of the Wyatt Family. The angle would have featured Eric Young and Bo Dallas, Wyatt's real-life brother, who had been depicting Uncle Howdy on WWE TV, a masked figure that made its debut in January.

At the time, the creative trajectory was to take Firefly Fun House's puppet characters and animate them into tangible and real-life personas. This decision was primed to shake the foundation of the show, fundamentally altering the landscape of wrestling storytelling.
