If you were confused by Bray Wyatt‘s Sister Abigail promo during Raw this week, we’ve got the explanation you’re looking for below … but warning, spoilers lie ahead.
Sources with direct knowledge tell Pro Wrestling Sheet the current plan is for Wyatt to wrestle at TLC using the name “Sister Abigail” — similar to how Finn Balor becomes The Demon — and he’d wear a different outfit.
From what we’re being told, WWE is NOT planning to introduce a female character with the name.
For those who missed it, Wyatt transformed into a scarecrow-like character last night during a backstage promo directed at Balor and a female voice could be heard laughing alongside his.
No word on whether the match will have any sort of additional gimmick attached.

The end of Raw saw a double turn between Enzo Amore and Neville when the new Cruiserweight champ went full blown heel on 205 Live‘s roster … and they got their revenge after the show.
For those who missed it, Amore roasted the entire division during his championship celebration to close out Raw and Neville interrupted on behalf of them all to take the guy down a notch.
The segment ended with Neville beating Enzo up and hitting the Red Arrow.
But when Raw went off the air, those in attendance got to see Braun Strowman come out to rough Amore up as well, then the other cruiserweights joined in on the fun.

Videos of Bullet Club “invading” Raw have been hitting social media all day, but now this week’s Being The Elite episode chronicling the whole thing has been released … and it’s hilarious.
The episode shows the group rolling up to Raw in Ontario today in a stretch limo and then standing on the back of it to cut promos on a megaphone to air their grievances in public.
This includes Matt Jackson exclaiming that he wants to be able to say “suck it” without getting bleeped, “Hangman” Adam Page griping about being “kidnapped” and (for some reason) Cody Rhodes reciting a monologue from the movie Independence Day.
Those who’ve been keeping up with the show also get a tease at the end in regards to the ongoing saga of the WWE Stooge.
