Bray Wyatt has definitely gotten fans talking over the past few weeks. This comes after his ‘Firefly Fun House’ segments that have been airing on weekly episodes of RAW and Smackdown.
Many fans are still wondering what this new character is and what it could be leading to.
In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer provided an interesting new theory on these segments.
Here is what he wrote:
“A lot of the references on the Bray Wyatt Firefly Funhouse segments stem from PTSD therapy. One therapist noted that “Special place” is a standard coping skill used for trauma. The art work of the house in fire is also related to trauma therapy. Putting his hands over his heart is a reference to butterfly hugs, which are used for PTSD therapy involving bilateral stimulation. From a PTSD therapist point of view, the idea from all this is that he’s reformed but haunted by a traumatic past“
