Bray Wyatt has spent just over one year on the main roster in WWE and during that time, he's made his mark as a wordsmith who wows with his gift of gab. His promos have both confused and inspired. With that in mind, I embarked on a project: transcribing every single Wyatt promo since his debut on Raw. This does not include anything from NXT other than his goodbye promo nor does it cover the vignettes that aired leading into his debut.
We broke this down into three parts to make it easier to digest but for those who want them all in one place, here is every Bray Wyatt promo transcribed. Enjoy!

"I have no followers. I have only brothers and sisters, all in the name of cause. People are sheep, you understand me. They can't lead themselves, they need to be led. People buy and sell fear. They worship war, they crave war, but I'm not afraid of their wars. I created war. And I think it's time for the masses to wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP! Wake up and look at this lie they're living in, man! The world is deteriorating between their toes and they do nothing about it. They only stand there. They whisper and wonder but they never do anything about it. I've seen it all in my dreams and in my thoughts and above everything else I understand that this is not a beginning; it's the end."

"They been lying to you, man. There ain't no such thing as a hero. Not anymore. But you, you, and you, and you, you have become addicted to the illusion of what a hero is. You have become addicted to the illusion of what a hero does for you. You think you need someone to pat you on the back. You think you need someone to tuck you in bed at night, kiss you on the cheek, and tell you that everything is all right. But everything... everything... everything... EVERYTHING IS NOT ALL RIGHT! What if I was to tell you that the man who made you is a liar? What if I was to tell you that your own flesh and blood turned his back on you? I would never turn my back on you. And maybe, maybe the answers you seek have been slapping you right in the face. Or maybe, just maybe, I, Bray Wyatt, the Eater of Worlds, have been the answer all along."

"Kane ... I suspect you'll be looking for me. But that's all right, man, because I ain't never been too hard to find. Matter of fact, if you need me I'll be right here with all my friends. We've been waiting for you, Kane. I've always been waiting for you. Look to the sky and follow the buzzards."

"I heard you like to call yourself the devil's favorite demon. But you, sir, are no demon. And the devil, nah, man. But shhh... Kane, I'd like to let you in on a little secret, man. You ought to be careful who you say those things in front of... you never know who might be listening."

"There are several different types of men in this world. There are men who dream and never make it off their couch. There are men who dream and fail. And then there are men who dream and change the landscape of this world, people like Bray Wyatt. What about you, man? That's what I want to know. Aren't you tired of feeling unwanted? Aren't you tired of feeling like an outcast and being stepped upon? Well then today is your day because today is the day that Bray Wyatt decided he was going to change everything. Today is the day that hell froze. Today is the day that pigs fly. Today, me and my people looked at fear right in the eye and said 'Mr. Fear, sir, you are a liar'. Today, I want you to go and tell all these so-called world leaders that they better heed my warning: take notice to Bray Wyatt. Because today is the day that Bray Wyatt decided to bring down the machine. Today, we say goodbye to NXT ... for now. But if you need me, I ain't hard to find. All you gotta do is go look up in the sky and follow the buzzards."

"The devil's favorite demon is no monster, man. He is an illusion. He's a fairy tale. The demon is a lie. But me, I'm much, much different, man. I am the man of a thousand truths. I am Bray Wyatt, the Eater of Worlds. And I am forever. Kane ... follow the buzzards."

"A ring of fire. Now that, Kane, that sounds like the type of fight that's meant to cater to a man who fancies himself the devil's favorite demon. And I like that. I like that, Kane, I like your style, yeah. But I think there's been some type of interruption here. We're a little bit disconnected. I don't think you've quite grasped your mind around the concept of what's really truly going on here. Do you really think that a simple fire could control the souls of my brothers? We are everywhere, Kane. And sooner or later that fire, that fire that you call your own, it will raise up around you and the tables will be turned. It will be you who is locked inside with a monster. Your fire fears me, Kane. It's afraid of me because it's smart enough to understand that it itself could never, ever, ever hurt me. You want to hear a secret, Kane? I am already dead. I'm already dead."

"Hello, everyone. My name is Bray Wyatt and these fine young gentlemen sitting behind me, they are my brothers, Harper and Rowan. We have come to the conclusion recently that our actions have been misinterpreted. Allow me to clarify a few things. I want to tell you a story, a special little story. Once upon a time, there was a little boy, a special little boy. This little boy, he went to school like all the rest of the children. But kids can be so cruel. Even though this little boy was bigger than all the rest of the children he would cower to their harsh words.
"They would call him names, like 'freak'. They would beat on him, and they would send him home running everyday with tears down his face, all for just being himself. But one day, one day, this special little boy decided that he was going to change the world. He was going to go to school and everything would be different. But instead of him changing everything, he ran away. He raw away and he found another little crutch to hide behind. This crutch gave him a new sense of power. This crutch allowed him to be whatever he wanted to be. This crutch was a mask. And behind this mask, he gave himself a new name.
"And that name was Kane.
"Behind this mask, he allowed himself to live this lie. And you eat it all up everyday for no reason. Well I say no more lies. Because I know who I am. I know what I am. I walk on water just to prove to you that I can. I bite the head off a snake just to taste its poision. And I promise to you, monster, that this Sunday in the City of Angels, I will prove to you that one man's hell is another man's paradise. Follow the buzzards."

"She taught me. She taught me from a young age. She said 'you got to get them before they get you. A rattlesnake's skin is the same color as the leaves,' she said. And we all understood her. She led us with her love but she taught us that the fires, well, they were our friends too. 'The world is an evil place,' she said. And we agreed. And I was there, I was there when she took her final breath. She pulled me in close and she said, 'you're the one.' She said, 'They chose you, long before you were ever in existence.' And I understood what she meant. Her touch could save the world but her kiss burns it to the ground. I love you, Sister Abigail."

"Icarus was warned to never let his wings made of wax get too close to the sun. But pride can make even the most noble men do such foolish things. And as Icarus neared the sun, his wings began to melt away. Icarus fell into the ocean and was never heard from again. Where's Kane? I warned Kane. I told him that this fire he thinks is his friend, his beginning... it would ultimately be his ending. And when Kane allowed his pride to cloud his commen sense, well, that's when I knew that he was mine. Like a lamb led to slaughter... oh where, oh where has my monster gone? Oh where, oh where could he be? Kane made his bed and now he's burning in it. Where's Kane?"

"They say that patience is a virtue. But in my estimation, it's a lost art. People want everything now, now, now and they want more, and more, and more of it. They don't realize that beyond their precious city walls there is another world and it's full of animals just like yours: my world. And in my world, when one of my animals is sick or hurt we don't let them fumble around in agony. We put 'em down. Hey, you want to see something really scary? Don't you worry about a thing, Abigail. I'm going to put 'em all down. I'm going to put 'em down."

"We all fall victim to the games wicked men play. I am no different. For instance, I have spent the majority of my life trying to understand why these horrible things happen to me. Why me?

How much is it going to take for you to satisfy this little craving, this obsession you have with fame? Here we are, Miz, together, tangled in this moment in the little spider's web, and I just want you to not be afraid, my child. I do not wish to see you suffer. I'm just gonna put you down. Follow the buzzards."

"Simmer down, boys. I know what you're feeling right now, Miz, and believe me when I say it's okay to be afraid. For I am the hammer that everybody fears but she is the force that drives the nail. So my advice to you is that you enjoy your world as long as you can, man... because we are gonna take it all away. Follow the buzzards."

Life after death? I do. But I am not here to convince you that hell is a real thing, man, no, no, no; I am just here to lead you to the gates. Follow the buzzards."

"I never sleep but my visions come to me when I dream. They show me these mannequins posing as people. They're living in a world where they're intoxicated with their own vanity. But we all see symmetry in beauty. I have felt the sharp teeth of society. I know what it feels like to be thrown in some groveling pit where they all point down and laugh at me. But look at me now. I grow stronger by the day. And look, daddy, I got my wings back. Nobody knows you better than I do; they could never know you like I do. Daniel Bryan will be safe with us. He will enter the lion's den as a man but he will emerge a monster."
- Friday Night SmackDown, November 29, 2013

"Stand down. Don't worry, Bryan, they're not going to hurt you ... unless I tell them to. Understand something Bryan: since I have been on this Earth, I have done a lot of horrible things to a lot of good people. And I am man enough to admit when I am in the wrong. I was wrong about you Bryan. I viewed you as this miniscule little creature chasing this uphill war that you could never win. I saw you busy chasing your little girly friend around on television, buying her diamonds. Let me ask you, friend: How long are you willing to live this lie? How long until they discover that your dirty little feet are soiling their red carpets. I understand you, Bryan. I see you for what you really are. But they, they look at you like you're some circus clown, here for their amusement. They look at you like a gorilla in a cage, son. I see the monster in you. They can't love you, not like I can, Bryan. And I understand that together, together we tear the walls of this place; together we force them to beg; together we can bring the machine to its knees, Bryan. Open your eyes."
- Monday Night Raw, December 2, 2013
__________________________________________
"Although it is your ravenous behavior that draws me to you, your unwillingness to comply is testing my patience. The clock is ticking, Bryan. I need you to understand that I do not wish to watch you suffer. In my world, there is no such thing as a happy ending. There are no fairy tales. I'm not going to take you up to pa's house and roll you down a field of dandelions. This story ends the same way it started: destruction. I need you to know that we're going to hurt you, bad. I don't care if it kills me, I promise that I'm going to prove to you that you are a monster, just like me. And in that moment of serenity, I will take all the pain away. Join us. Join us, Bryan."

"You always told me that the war to bring down this machine would be a long and daunting process, and you were right. You're always right. Daniel Bryan is a coward. He is but a miniscule ant trying to pierce the armor of a scorpion. I felt him, I held him, I held him right here in my arms, the same way you did for me. I offered him a way out of this hell, I told him I can take the pain away. All I was able to feel was his empty heart beating. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Abigail. I understand now what you expect from me, I understand what it is we must do. If Daniel Bryan refuses to walk with the repears then he will burn with the saints."

"Even though we have stuck you with all these daggers, Bryan, you are still walking upright. I admire your courage, I really do. These people have chosen you, Bryan. They chose you the same way that you chose them, like a moth gathered to a flame. But I believe that you have forgotten who exactly is controlling this inferno, Bryan. For I am more than just a man; I am a god."

"This is where our story ends. I have no mercy left to give. It could have been different, it could have been better, it could have been perfect. But now this is your fault. I am going to punish you.

"Have you heard the good news? The Earth is rotting beneath your feet. The human race is a bacteria that infects and destroys. He needed me. He needed me. Fate works in strange ways. He was lost. She dances and sings in the light. She lurks in the shadows, and she always gets her way. Now he has a home. Your words mean nothing to him now. He only hears my truth. Now he has a home. He has a home."

Usos, if I was to break one of your bones, would the other one feel it? If I cut one of you, would the other one bleed? Aren't you tire of playing hero? Don't you realize that you're living this giant lie? ... Run."

"As a child, I wanted nothing more in life than to be powerful like my father. I did my best to appease him. I tried to be just like him but it was never good enough. He was never there for me. He was never there for me. Listen to these sheeple. My father, instead of entrusting me with his kingdom, he betrayed me. He deceived me. He cast me out to walk amongst the sheep as one of them, as one of you. But I always knew that I was destined for greater things. So as I lay there deep down in that black hole gasping for air, calling for help, she saved me. Abigail saved me. She gave me hope and she sang to me the sweetest songs that I had ever heard. I became enthralled with her beauty and obsessed with her power. She told me that on my path to righteousness, that on my path to purity, I would be deceived again. So as I lay down there Monday a beaten, battered mess, I looked into his eyes and I saw it. I felt it. I knew that this was my moment, that this was what she was talking about, and I had to sacrifice myself so that I may be resurrected into the creature I was born to be. Did you really think that you could hurt me? I am already dead. I'm already dead. You're foolish attempt to stab me in the back... how could you be so simple? I do not bleed like one of you. Daniel Bryan was given every chance to walk with the reapers. Now, he will burn with the saints."

"A man who is not willing to die for something is not fit to live. Where I come from, being a traitor is a sin of the highest order, man. You did not expose me like you think, Bryan; you only exposed yourself. For only a coward would use his free wings to fly right back into the cage where he came from. These people, these animals, oh how they rewarded you. They cheered for you, Bryan, as you stamped me out, as you battered me, Bryan. Traitor. They're sheep. They only look up to you Bryan because they chose to kneel, traitor. What I want you to do now is I want you to go home and I want you to hug your mother. I want you to tell her you love her. I want you to tell her you're sorry. Because everything that happens to you from now on is your fault."

"I admire your courage. Surely normal men lose sleep at just the mere thought of dancing with reapers. But war, justice... that's y'all's game, man. I dig it. I like games too. War, oooh, that's my favorite. My soul smiles at just the thought of your quivering hands waving those white flags, yeah. I would advise y'all to be careful inviting the devil in your backyard ... because he may just like it and decide to stay."

"Shield ... come out, come out, wherever you are. I understand you, more than you can possibly comprehend. I got your blueprint stamped in my brain, and I know what you are: pawns. You move forward, never backwards. You spend all of your useless days clawing with your aching hands forward just to that beautiful moment, the moment where you sacrifice yourself in the name of your king. Here's a little tidbit I know that you don't: your moment is closer than you think. I will build my empire next to the sea and I will smile from my throne while I watch my enemies drown."
- Monday Night Raw, February 3, 2014

"Many have tried to play this game with me before, Shield, and they have all failed. You will be no different. You are but tiny little toy soldiers trying to play your part in a war that is not meant for you. You will fall right in time for my next game to begin. Follow the buzzards."

"I got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart. I got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart, down in my heart, to stay. You know, as our day of reckoning inches closer, I can't help but feel this child-like excitement building up in me. The clock is ticking. Your defeat will not come in vain. Your shattered bones will pave the streets of my kingdom and from my throne, I'm going to turn them all. I can't help but wonder, Shield, I must ask you: In the end, was all of this worth it? Only because if you're not (willing to die for this), you've already lost."

"There really ain't much left to say now, is there? The Shield, they are just three dominos set up in a line and when they fall, the next will follow.

"This world has an infection and the virus is the human race. Through all these troubling times, John, it makes all the sense in the world that you would place yourself right in the middle. After all, what would the world be without its hero? What would the world be without its knight in shining armor here to save the day? People like you, John? They're hollow. You're full of empty promises. You promise to save these people, you promise to keep them safe, you tell them that everything will be all right just as long as you're around. Liar. You're a liar. You are a liar, John Cena. This is a terrible world. A cold, cold, dark, and lonely place. You stand for these illusions but I stand for everything that is real. Now you say the future has got to come through you first. I couldn't agree more, John. Please, excuse me. Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Bray Wyatt. We are the reapers that bring death to this era of lies."

"Everything you think you know about your own lives, is all based upon lies. Men, you wake up every morning, you go to work, you break your backs just trying to earn a little bit of cash so that you can buy yourself those fancy suits, so that you can buy yourself those sports car and impress the women. And now women, you wake up every morning, you look at yourself in the mirror, and you coat make up all over your beautiful faces because you didn't even realize that you are just wearing the mask that society demands you to wear. It's a bottomless pit of lies. They plaster your hopes and dreams up on a billboard. And who is the man that is on that billboard? Well he's the man that hides behind the plastic smile. He's the man that plays the role of hero better than anyone else. He's the man that tells you everything you think you need to hear and I think to myself, oh, what a wonderful world.
"Yet this is the same society that intends to vilify a man like me. Why? Because I say everything they're afraid to do. Because I do everything that they're afraid to do. And I promise you today, I promise you tomorrow, I promise you up until my final breath that with the sword of my tongue I will slay this mighty dragon. And I will stand over his body and I will whisper into his ear, 'John Cena, it's time to end this lie'. Follow the buzzards."

"It's happening. We're not in Wonderland anymore, Alice. John Cena feels the need to fill this void inside of him. The burden of his legacy weighs down heavy on his shoulders. After all, kids, what would John Cena be without his legacy? I have a legacy of my own. My father was the war. My brother was the snail that entrapped me and forced me to watch. My mother was the streets that taught me to survive. The world is my teacher. And I am what you made me. I don't want to save John Cena; there's nothing left for me to fix. I just want to stand back as it all burns down."

"I have always been fascinated with pride. It is my favorite sin. It has the power to blind even the strongest men, even those who claim to be immortal. Hey kids, take your vitamins and say your prayers. All praise be to the virtue of hustle, loyalty, and respect, as if they could do you any good. You are both liars, and your foolish pride allows you to pray upon the weak and fill them up with all this hope. But hope is dead. As will be your legacy, John. I can see it in your eyes. You don't get it. How could you possibly get something that you can't comprehend? But I'll lay it out for you, John, right here and right now. If you look up at me, you will see a friend. If you look down at me, you will see an enemy. But if you look at me square in the eye, you will see a god. Just what I thought, John. A little bit more empty promises, a little bit more hope. Well I say it's always fun and games with you, John, until it's you caught in the spiders web."

"I never sleep but I'm always dreaming. Lately, I've been dreaming of you, John. You and I will be sharing this war in New Orleans, but off in the distance there is a woman's voice. It's very faint, I can't make out what it says, but as we fight, and as we come closer to her, I can hear her. She's telling me that she loves me. She's telling me how proud she is of me. Just like that, I wake up, and I still see you, John. But now I see you for what you've become. You're in a chair, sitting there a withered old man, lonely and filled with regrets. We have entered the bowels of Carcosa, friend. But don't you worry about a thing. I'll make it quick. Follow the buzzards."

"Children believe in superheros, John. They wear masks and costumes because they want to believe that the world is good. They haven't lived long enough to understand that everything is a lie. My childhood, John, let me fill you in about something about Bray Wyatt. My childhood, it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. You dare talk about your scars, John. Well I've got a few scars too. The world gave them to me. They gave them to me because it was my birth right to have them. They taught me that fire is hot and that blades are sharp. They taught me that everything that I love in life, sooner or later, is going to wither away and die. Well look at me now. I could be just like you. I could sign autographs and kiss babies and make sure that everyone buys all my merchandise. I could go home to my plastic girlfriend in my castle. I could take everything I fear and hide behind laughter. Tell jokes, make sure I feel better about myself. Yeah, John, that's you. But you were right about one thing. I am different than anyone you will ever face. Because at WrestleMania, I don't care if I never leave. I don't care if I die. As long as the world sees you the way that I do. Follow the buzzards."

"I am everywhere. I am everything. It makes all the sense in the world why you would be afraid of me, John. Fear me, for I was born of this world's hatred and I feed off its sins. I am the color red in a world full of black and white. I am your mother's tears from the love you couldn't repay her. The buzzards are circling overhead. I am the sad truth that waits for you down below. I got your fear, John, right here in the palm of my hand, and your fear is my power, and my power is my control. I will rule your entire world. Run."

"He's got the whole world in his hands. You know, people don't usually believe in things that they cannot see, in things they cannot touch. It is human nature, after all. But in the case of John Cena we all see him. I mean, how can you possibly miss this billboard and infomercials being shoved down your throat every day? We see you. But what I was wondering was have you ever taken the time, John, to see me for what I really am. I am the way into the City of Woe. I am the way into eternal pain. I am the way to go among the laws beyond time, I stand. I wanted to ask you, John. What could you possibly do to harm somebody that just can't feel? Run."

"You give a man a mask and he will reveal his true face. Nobody is innocent, John. They're all guilty. They've all worn a mask at some point or another. Whether it was to hide their wrong doings or fit into some social scene, it makes no difference. But there is a problem. The problem is that if you hide behind this mask for too long it becomes you. Then, to remove this mask is to remove your own skin. I have broken you, John. I have broken you. My sword has left a scar on your soul that can never heal. And tonight this sword will slay a giant; a gift for you, John. Can't you hear her calling your name? Can't you hear her sweet song serenading your mind? I'll never forget what she said to me the first time I heard her. 'All secrets will come to light underneath the shade of the cypress tree.' He's got the whole world in his hands, he's got the whole world in his hands."

"The world is bleeding from the inside out. It lives and breathes, and just like everything else it craves change. The problem is it becomes far too easy to be enamored with the gardens and to turn a blind eye to the landfills. You can't just whisper in peoples ears anymore and to expect them to understand you, to believe in you. You have to pry their eyes open and force them to watch. Do I have your attention now, kids? She said I was a child born to lead, that I would be the one to teach them the difference between diamonds and dust. That I would be the one to take everything that they love and burn it to the ground, leave nothing but ashes. She said that I would change the world. They're going to cry for you, John. They won't understand, not at first. But in time, they will forget you. And you'll be left with nothing. They'll see you the same way that I do ... as a monster, John."

For instance, if I lost to you, John, at WrestleMania, then why can't I stop smiling? And why do I feel so good? Because I saw it in your eyes, John. For the first time I realized that you are not hollow in there. It's right here, it's right here, it's inside of you, John. And it's something that I know all too well because when I look inside myself, I see the good, I see the bad, I see everything. I see dreams you haven't dreamed, and worlds you haven't discovered. I see miracles. My mind is endless, and I am free. It must have been so frightening for you, John. Because you were this close, you were right there. All you needed was one last little push. And now I realize that I have to go to new extremes if I want to bring out the monster that I know exists in you. So strap it on, John, because this party is far from over."

"Society as a whole has become this vile and putrid thing. You do as your told, so says the man. You see what they want you to see and you feel whatever it is they want you to feel but I am different. Where you see a blank canvas, I see a beautiful painting. And where you hear silence, I hear symphony. I have a thousand faces and a million names. Seducer, accuser, destroyer. And you, you may call me by whatever name you see fit but know this and understand that I have never once lied to you.
"But we all know who has, don't we? Hell, John Cena has made a career out of lying to you all. He earns your trust hidden behind his porcelin smile but don't be fooled, he is no man, he is beast. And don't you worry about a thing, kids. I'm not going to let him do this to you anymore. I've got him right where I want him, up against the ropes, on the edge, and all he needs is that one last little push. Abigail shall be my sword through this crusade but I do not wish to slay this monster, not yet. Right now, I just want it to come out and play. How about it, John? I know you're back there.
"Oh, John, you are hysterical, I can't get enough of it, John. Oh, I love that every time any serious threat gets in your face, all you know how to do is make jokes about it.
"I like that, John, oh I like that. You don't even realize it but me and you, we been playing catch with knives, yeah, and sooner or later one of us is gonna get stuck. It's going to be real bad, John. My question to you: How can you be 100-percent sure that it won't be you? You want to see fun, John? You want me to have a good time? Well I ask you, my brothers and sisters here in my backyard, we will no longer allow this fallacy to command us. This is my world and it belongs to me."

"I remember the first time that I was ever struck with truth. The taste was bitter and it was so intense. But I liked it. It was something real. Free will has become man's biggest illusion. They promise it to you just in time to take it away again. And what have they left us with? What have we become? Just a nation full of mindless sheep, led by wolves and owned by pigs. But I was thinking, tonight, man, tonight would be what a wonderful night for change.
"What a wonderful night for change indeed. I was thinking tonight they have left the power in your hands. Those fools. Tonight, free will does exist. Tonight, you make a choice. And what fate will you choose for your knight in shining armor? Will you choose the path of less pain for your hero? Or will tonight be the night that John Cena finally learns the truth? And the truth is we stand against you. Whether it be this brother or that brother, whether it be in a steel cage or inside your own mind, John, we stand against you.
"At Extreme Rules, inside that steel cage match, two monsters will enter. But on this night, it will not matter which monster has the sharpest teeth or the longest claws because one thing will remain the same: they do not love you anymore, John. Can't you feel it? Brothers, can't you feel it? Do you feel the same that I do? Every time we cross paths, John, I take more of them with you. You, and you, and you, my brother, and you, my sisters, they are all coming with me. Listen, John. Listen as it happens, John. Won't they sing with me? ... Feel; feel with me!"
- Monday Night Raw, April 21, 2014

"Sing. Sing. Love. Love. All power in this world is measured by how much love you have. Whether you love to bring joy or suffering you cannot deny that love is a delectable experience. Yeah, man. It is a ravenous wild fire with beautiful flames. It is a divine wine that brings warmth to those who drink it in. It cannot be defined. You have to live it; you have to feel it. Get them to love you, John. And then they'll do anything for you. But you already know that, don't you? And how does it feel now, John, to know that you have lost their love? To know that they would rather see you suffer than see you smile, and I like your style? This past Monday night on Raw, your people, John, they were given a choice. And you, you could have given John a fair fight. But you didn't. Instead, you threw him to the wolves like a piece of meat. I think we've crossed this bridge. I think we've reached the threshold. John, I think it's high time that you stop underestimating me. Thinking of me as just a man is a mistake; I am not. I am the nagging conscience of a world that has thrown itself away to mortal monsters. I am everywhere, and I am everything. And my words, man, my words are not just words. My words are razor blades that cut deep. And they are working.
"At Extreme Rules, me and you got a date with destiny, John, inside a steel cage. How fitting. We're just like a couple modern day gladiators fighting for the respect of our people. This cage defines your world, John. And everything you stand for, and all the blood, sweat, and tears you have put in fighting for them, it has landed you right here with me. Like a snake trapped with a rat in a box. Just remember, John, it was you who invited me here. And you haven't even removed my venom. Your nightmares have become my dreams come true. And in my dreams I hear them. And in my dreams I feel them. And in my dreams I see them. One by one, they will all follow me.
"Can't you see them now, John? Can't you hear them singing? Can't you hear them singing with me?"

"Abigail always told me that I was born to lead. She said, 'one day, Bray, you will change the world'. And I believed her. I always believed her. But this world we live in, this horrible world we live in, it has very, very wicked ways about it. And they would always snub their nose up at me. They would always look down on me. They referred to me as a piece of trash. They referred to me as a nobody. And they don't even know it but those people, they have made this day so sweet for me. And oh what a glorious day it is because last night I, Bray Wyatt, became somebody.
"Last night, John Cena's fear was personified by that of a singing child. Mighty John Cena cowering to a child. You can't fool the children, John, for they are the foundation of what tomorrow shall bring. Their ears are so eager to hear, and their minds so eager to learn, and their innocent little eyes see right through you, John Cena.
"John Cena tells all of you that I am a monster, and he is right. I am a monster, and oh how cruel I can be. He would also have you believe that my message, my honorable message, is nothing but lies, and that I only wish to watch the world burn. I have to give it to you, John, you're right again. I do wish to watch this world burn. I wish to watch it burn as a farmer watches his spoiled crops burn so they may rise up again. This world must be burned down so that it can be reborn. And it will be reborn in my image, the image of Wyatt. Yeah, man. John Cena thinks that I do this, everything I do, all of this, I only do it for myself. And that, my friends, that is where John Cena is dead wrong. I do this for the children. I do this for the poor man that stands, day and night, begging on the side of the street starving because they didn't think he was smart enough to live in this world. I do this for the teenage girl who wakes up crying every morning when she looks in the mirror because they didn't think she was beautiful enough to be the prom queen. I do this for each and every one of you.
"As of today, today, tomorrow, and every day passing forward, John Cena stands alone. And alone he shall fall. But you, children, you shall stand with me and you never have to be alone ever again. You stand with me and you will remember me not as a monster but you will remember me for what I truly am: a god."

Everything that they have built must be turned to ash. But we are all just slaves to judgement. It is judgement that tells me that I must survive. It is judgement that tells me to adapt. And it is your judgement, John, that tells you it is right to fear me. But it is not the fear that sets men apart, John, it's the distance they're willing to go. And where we're going, nobody ever comes back."

"Every night, we lay our heads down to dream. And that's when our minds really start to tick. We start remembering all these things, these horrible things, these travesties that have happened to us in our lives. But in our dreams, we're superheroes. And in our dreams, we can fix everything. We dream of revenge. We dream of payback. Just like that, man, just like that we wake up. That's when reality starts to set in. That's when we go to the mirror and we look at it and we remember that we are not superheroes, and that we can not fix everything. So we bottle all this rage up inside of us, and we go on living our dismal little lives as if nothing is wrong but everything, everything, EVERYTHING IS WRONG! And I plan on fixing that.
"See, I used to have this mean old teacher, and this teacher she used to look down upon me and she went to great measures to make sure that I remembered that I was a piece of trash, and that I would never amount to anything in my life. She believed that everything she read in a book was true, and that everything that I believed in was a lie. So I went up to her and I said, 'Miss Teacher Lady, what is it about you that makes you think that you're so much better than me? That makes you think you're so much smarter than me? Is it because your mommy and daddy paid for you to go to some fancy school so that you could wave this diploma around all of us? So that you could look down upon children and forcefeed them propaganda?' Well I say 'nuh uh'. She looked at me and she said, 'Bray Wyatt, you are rotten. You stand for nothing.' She said, 'Bray Wyatt, the first time that I ever looked inside of your eyes, I knew there was something inside of you. I knew that you were evil'.
"Well, I am proud to say that right now somewhere that teacher lady is rotting inside of some retirement home filled up with all of her life's regrets but I, Bray Wyatt, stand here in front of you today as a conquerer, as a revolutionary, as the man of 1,000 truths. I say 'Miss Teacher Lady, look at me right now. I got the whole damn world in my hands.' That is my payback. My ends justify my means. But Miss Teacher Lady she was right about one thing, you see, I am evil. I am the necessary evil that must exist in this world to balance everything out. I am evil.
"My tongue, my tongue is the scorpion's tail. And when it starts striking, people start getting behind me. And they start getting behind me because I offer them hope. I offer them hope to men like John Cena that want to see everything die. John Cena, he hides behind that plastic smile. He plays the role of hero while everything around him burns. Well, I promise... at Payback, all my people, at Payback I promise you this fairy tale is going to end. At Payback, I will be the last man standing or I promise no one will ever stand again."

"The Cenation has infected our world like the plague. And all it will take is one very simple little 10 count to eradicate John Cena and everything that he stands for. And I know, John, I know you're feeling the pressure too, man. That's why you're up and went and recruited the Usos to be your new pawns. But you forgot to tell them the fact that you are just go going to throw them on the front lines and watch them fall and right behind them you will be riding oh so valiantly on your horse making sure your crown don't get too dirty. Tonight, tonight my brothers are going to teach the Usos that the bond of cause can never be broken and that you cannot tame a beast that does not fear. The Usos walk oh so blindly into this deadly alliance and tonight they were learn the fact that there are worse things in this world than dying. When your city burned, I was there. When the plague swept your city streets, I was there. And when John Cena falls and his Cenation crumbles, there I will be standing. I am forever. I will always be, and I have always been."

"He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole wide world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. Never, ever, have those words been more true than they are right now. I've truly got the whole world in my hands, yeah. The world has come to lean on me, and they lean on me because they know that somewhere deep down I only want what's best for all of you. The problem with that is sometimes what is best for us is not the easiest path. In this life, we all must make sacrifices. Most of us don't even know it but we do it every day. We go to work and we break our backs just so we can keep our childrens fed. And we sulk and we suffer while another man put his finger in our face and tells us who to be and how to act.
"But when are you going to understand that all that is pointless? The poision has already set in. And we all know the only way to cure a snakebite is with the anti-venom. So what say you, people of Knoxville? Am I the snake or am I the cure? I know what role I must play in this world. I am the necessary evil that this world so badly needs. And in the end, in the end, if you are my brother or my sister you will stand right beside me. But if you are my enemy, you will fall at my feet. And I think it's clear, I think we all understand right here right now, that John Cena is enemy to us all.
"Don't you worry, boys and girls, because at Payback I will be the last man standing. But why should Cena be the only man punished in all this corruption? I don't believe that's right. And I'm no fool. I know to get to the king you must first go through the pawns. Cena is the king. And speaking of kings ... Mr. Jerry Lawler, may I have a word with you, please? Come on, Jerry, I don't bite.
"So this is a no, right? This is no? How unfortunate. Now, Jerry, this can be easy or this can be very difficult. I just want to have a talk, Jerry. Just a simple little talk. Michael, don't you move, Michael Cole, and don't you go playing hero, Mr. JBL, or else you'll be next. Sit down, that's right, JBL, stay in your pretty little seat. Don't move a muscle, you coward.
"Look what you've gone and done, Jerry? Just come on in the ring real quick with me. Just share conversation, that's all I want, Jerry, come on. Set him up, right here. Come on, Jerry, I ain't got all day. Come on. Come on, Jerry, have a seat. There's no need to be afraid. Take your seat, Jerry, I just want to ask you a few questions.
"Now, Jerry, it is safe to say that you and John Cena, you are very good friends, right? Yeah, I'm sure you are. And it is also safe to say that you have helped John Cena attain a lot of his goals here, become the hero he is today. And how did you do that? Because for years you have sat right there in that very seat and you have fed them all this nonsense about how John Cena is such a great man and what wonderful things he does for the world. But never once did you question his morality. You just bought up all of his garbage just like everyone else. And in doing so you have fed this poision and it has grown, and it has grown, and it has grown, until now it is out of control, Jerry Lawler. Do you feel guilty about this, Jerry? Do you feel remorse for destroying millions of lives all in his corrupt name? How does it feel to be a liar, Jerry? Did you really think that you were just going to get away with all this? Now, for what happens next, Jerry, I need you to understand that I am very sorry that it had to be you but this is that necessary evil we have been talking about, Mr. Jerry Lawler."

We grew together, and we united together as brothers in the name of cause. Now it appears that The Usos have become just another set of pawns in John Cena's sick little game. They're guilty by association, and together they will burn."

"At Payback, John Cena locked me in a box. And as I peered into the darkness, my memories began to haunt me. And I felt the cold hand of the reaper breathe down. I was afraid. But then I began to remember her face. And how she used to warn me about this evil place. And how she said that 'they're going to circle you in the water, Bray, just until they see red. But those sharks, they're the ones who are going to help you realize that death is real. And in death, Bray, you will find your rest. But in your rebirth, you will grown much stronger and you will learn to accept these new great responsibilities. You will become their leader,' she said. 'Your voice will soothe their ears and your hand will lead their armies. For you are the way into the City of Woe. You are the way to go among the lost. Beyond time, Bray, you stand.' There's nothing left to fear. Brothers and sisters... I am reborn. Join me."

"Urges ... every man has urges. But the true measure of man is to admit them, to learn to control them. The Shield used to refer to themselves as the most dominant force in our universe. But that ain't the way I remember it. They fell victim to the faults of men. Their lust and greed and valor for glory, it led them right down in the pit, where they belong. Tonight, they'll burn for it. For I am no man. I am reborn. Our bond can never be broken, and our urges can never be satisfied."

"When I was a child, I was a dreamer. I dreamed of glory. I dreamed of a nice house on top of a hill with a white pickett fence going all the way around. I dreamed of happiness. Then, I woke up and I realized that I was still stuck in this prison, this rotten world, just like the rest of us. Until I met her. And she told me that I didn't have to be a dreamer anymore. She said that I would achieve everything I ever dreamed of and more. She said that I would change the world. 'They will chant your name and fear your hand. They will bow to you, boy.' And what a predicament we find ourselves in now. Above that ladder lies my absolution. Above that ladder lies my happy ending. Above that ladder lies my power. Unfortunately for Dean Ambrose, he stands in my way. And those who stand in my way, they will burn. Those who walk beside me, they shall be reborn. Follow the buzzards."

Power, man, power can be so addicting. You need power. You crave power, and I just so happen to think that power, it will be the downfall of all mankind as we know it, man. After all, a powerful man is to be respected but a weak man is less valuable than the dirt that stains his clothes. Power and influence, that's my game, man. As long as I'm living right here, right now with you, my people, inside of this Universe, the WWE Universe, that right there represents all the power I could ever need.
"I want y'all to do something for me real quick, man. I want you to take a look at my brothers right here. Take a long, hard look. Judge them as you will. And know that by every label that your society has, they are viewed as outcasts. Worthless, like dirt. But oh how the world works in such mysterious ways. Because at Money in the Bank, my brothers are going to fight. And at Money in the Bank, my brothers are going to destroy The Usos and take every bit of power they ever had.
"Power and influence, power and influence, power and influence; at Money in the Bank, I will stand at the top of this ladder and I will change the world as it is forever. Because hanging above this ladder is my absolution. Hanging above this ladder is my glory. And hanging above this ladder is the change that you all have been praying for. All I have to do is reach up and take it. And when I do -- and I promise you, I will -- I will truly be able to say that I have the whole world in my hands."

I decide who does what and where they do it. I deal the cards. The world spins on axis above my jagged teeth and when I clamp down, believe me, the world will shake. At Money in the Bank, I will put an end to this child like charade. All I have to do is climb up that ladder and take, take, take what is mine. We've exited the laws of reality, children.

My victory will bring forth a glorious new era, an era in which the Eater of Worlds is crowned champion of all those desperate little needy souls that he had to trample along the way. And I will not be alone, for my brothers will prove their eagerness to me as my disciples when they annihilate all these unworthy little creatures.

Now do you think it will be your words that can protect you from me? Because I believe that last week right there in that very ring I proved that actions speak much louder than words. Actions scream eternities to a generation with no tongue, yeah. And you can go on, Chris, and you can say whatever it is that you think you need to say but know that I will hold your every word against you, and I will never -- EVER -- let you forget. Because these people, Chris, look at these people, these people that you used to call Jericholoics. Well, now they sing to a different tune because they know that unlike you, I inspire them.

Children have such frail little minds and when these frail little minds are struck by the cold hands of life it makes them different. Why you, Chris? Well, where were you when we needed you, Chris? You said that you would always be there for us, Chris. You said you would save us, and we remember everything. I have done a lot of bad things to people, Chris, and I have gone to war with very powerful men. And along my journeys I have noticed something about them. There's a constant: No matter how tough or how mean they thought they were, no matter what they'd been through in their lives, Chris, they all screamed. And so will you. What's the matter, Chris? You afraid of the dark?"

You're a liar, a charlaton. You're the biggest hypocrite of them all and you deserve everything that is coming for you. We've gone too far, Chris. There is no turning back now. And when it is your fate that is hanging in the balance, it will not matter if you're one foot or 100 feet off the ground, Chris, it will just be too late.
