Wyatt (real name Windham Lawrence Rotunda) joined WWE in 2009 as part of the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory. He would form a tag team with his real-life brother Taylor (aka Bo Dallas) and eventually joined NXT in its original incarnation, which was more of a reality show/live event hybrid.
Competing under the name Husky Harris, Wyatt would continue competing for FCW during and beyond his NXT elimination. However, in 2010, he made the jump to the main WWE roster as part of the Nexus, a faction comprised of other NXT competitors. This stint would be short-lived, though, as Wyatt would be punted in the head by Orton to remove him from television so he could return to FCW.

Wyatt returned to the main roster in 2013 as the patriarch of a backwoods cult called the Wyatt Family. Along with Eric Rowan and the late Luke Harper, the Wyatt Family would feud with the likes of Kane, John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho. In 2017, Wyatt won the WWE Championship in an Elimination Chamber match and would hold onto it for several months before being defeated by longtime ally and foe Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33.
Two years later, Wyatt reinvented his character with the moniker of The Fiend and began sporting a very Joker-esque mask. Conversely, he would also record segments called Firefly Fun House that saw him in casual attire while serving as the host of a sinister children's program. In 2020, he was joined by Alexa Bliss, who more or less assumed Wyatt's Fiend persona following his disappearance from WWE programming following his WrestleMania 37 match Orton.
