Back when Bray Wyatt was Husky Harris during his Nexus days, he had a match against John Cena, where he accidentally poked Cena in the eye. Cena and Vince McMahon were furious after this incident, and Vince allegedly sent Wyatt to NXT.
Former WWE star Baron Corbin believes this rumor to be 100% true. Here’s what he said during an interview with Chris Van Vliet:
“I will start with the backstory of it. So when Nexus was up on television, Bray Wyatt was not Bray Wyatt. He was Husky Harris, right? We’re going back here. And there is a rumor that I believe is 100% true. That Husky poked John Cena in the eye in a match, and Vince was so mad. Cena was so mad that they sent Husky Harris back to NXT.
We’re all grateful for that because Bray Wyatt was born, right? So this story of, like, and I’m gonna tease Randy (Orton) because Randy’s a buddy of mine, but you’re always taught, like, don’t hit. Randy doesn’t like to be touched.
Everybody’s kind of scared to work with Randy. And it’s not like that Randy’s tough. Sometimes, he’s a baby. Sometimes, Randy, I know you’re listening, you’re kind of a baby. I love you, but so this whole rumor of, like, Cena has been poked in the eye a couple of times, and it sent Bray back to NXT for, like, two and a half years. Like, this was a massive punishment for that, right?”
During a match against Cena in 2016, Corbin accidentally poked Cena in the eye and he was afraid that he was going to be sent back to NXT as well. However, that didn’t happen.
Instead, Cena cussed at Corbin during the match and hit him with a stiff punch as a receipt.
