WWE had planned a program between Bray Wyatt and Bobby Lashley for WrestleMania 39, but Wyatt’s health issues caused him to be taken off television.
Karrion Kross revealed in an interview with Chris Van Vliet on the “Insight” podcast that WWE had actually intended for him to face Wyatt at WrestleMania. Wyatt passed away due to a heart attack in August.
Kross said, “We were supposed to work last WrestleMania and nobody knew that except for a collection of writers and people in the office. We were slated to do something. We would talk for hours about how we want to get into it, what we wanted to deliver creatively for people. Where we thought we both needed to be. We had ideas with Alexa [Alexa Bliss], Bo [Bo Dallas], Scarlett. Everything happened the way it did. He left a mark on anybody and everybody he ever met. It’s just very strange the way everything played out. Beautiful and tragic. He was always an inspiration to me and showed everybody warmth.”
