The former Bray Wyatt had a big tribute to Brodie Lee in his outfit for WrestleMania that nobody noticed until it was revealed recently.
Wyatt's costume designer Jason Baker posted a tweet on social media about the 'Burned Fiend' costume that Wyatt wore in his WrestleMania transformation video, highlighting that a lot of the details in the jacket had direct homages to Brodie Lee's time in WWE as Luke Harper.
The tweet said: "Trivia fact: @Windham6 and I worked several tributes to @ThisBrodieLee into the Burned Fiend jacket that was unfortunately never truly seen outside of @WrestleMania transformation video. Tributes included: His Bludgeon brothers mask, his @WWENXT flannel pattern, and more."
