NEWS: Bo Dallas Being Discussed as Sister Abigail

NEWS: Long before he was ever Bray Wyatt, he was Windham Rotunda, son of former WWE Superstar Mike Rotunda, better known as Irwin R. Schyster. Young Windham Rotunda grew up in Brooksville, Florida where he dreamt of becoming a WrestleMania headliner. The powerful and athletic Windham cast a big shadow for his kid brother, Taylor. It was Windham, after all, that became a football star earning a scholarship to play Division I football at Troy University. Both Windham and Taylor would eventually follow in their father's footsteps, earning a chance to compete in WWE's development league, NXT. It was Taylor who was first signed and was later followed by his older brother Windham. Taylor would taste stardom first and capture the NXT Championship under the moniker Bo Dallas. Windham, who was now going by the name Husky Harris, saw his initial character fizzle. Despite his early failings it was Windham; however, who would be the first to receive a major push as the deranged Bray Wyatt, leader of the Wyatt Family. Bo Dallas' character would inevitably fizzle and become a forgotten personality on WWE's main roster. Bray Wyatt recently sat down with Sports Illustrated's Justin Barasso and stated the following regarding his kid brother Taylor,

"Bo Dallas is, quite possibly, the most talented wrestler on either roster. He is the most underrated superstar of all time, in my opinion. He has so much to give. At some point, I would love to form an alliance with him because I know who and what he really is. Whether people want to look at him like that, well, then I’ll show you. It’s very, very possible."

The new storyline with Bray and the Wyatt Family is that he has, as a result of Randy Orton's arson, gained more power than ever before. Sister Abigail, the long talked about mysterious sister of the Wyatt Family, has been released; but, most people have assumed that Sister Abigail must indeed be a female. If Sister Abigail is of the macabre and even a possessed-like character she will need the typical male sounding voice made famous by Linda Blair's character Reagan, in the film the Exorcist. Since Luna Vachon has passed, no female can really take on the role of Sister Abigail; however, there is a male that can, one who has been waiting in the wings, watching his older brother get all the glory. Sources indicate that WWE creative have discussed transforming Taylor Rotunda (Bo Dallas) into the demonic Sister Abigail and turning him into a demonic mercenary for his real life brother Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt). There are some in creative who believe the Sister Abigail character can be Kane to Bray Wyatt's Undertaker. The character would not be unique for the WWE. WWE has dabbled in the macabre before, most famously with characters like Bray Wyatt, Kane, Undertaker, and now Finn Balor. Wrestling has always been ahead of the times in introducing more androgynous characters, the first and most famous of which was Gorgeous George. Goldust also comes to mind. The only concern is that savvy WWE audiences may turn on the character, if they become aware that he is indeed the former Bo Dallas; however, Cheap Heat Wrestling has learned that the character will be so disfigured that it will be unrecognizable to most fans. Whatever the future is for Sister Abigail, it could be just the gimmick the young Taylor Rotunda needs to finally get over in the WWE.
