Universal Studios Director Reveals Unreleased Version Of Bray Wyatt’s ‘Shatter’ Theme Is Part Of Wyatt Sicks Haunted Attraction

An unreleased version of ‘Shatter’ is going to be playing at the end of the attraction.

At Universal Studios’ Orlando and Hollywood locations, there is going to be a Wyatt Sicks haunted attraction. That was delved into by Taylor Rotunda (Uncle Howdy) and Universal Studios Senior Director Mike Aiello during their appearance on The Takedown on SI.

A question was posed about the late Windham Rotunda a.k.a. Bray Wyatt’s theme songs. Taylor feels the last theme Windham had and the current Wyatt Sicks theme, ‘Shatter’ by Code Orange, is the greatest in WWE history.

Rotunda: “Oh, for my career, by far number one,” Rotunda said about the ‘Shatter’ theme being his favorite. “Hearing that, it turns me into another human. Tears to my eyes but then changes me into (Uncle) Howdy, and I loved it before I was involved with it but, in my heart and in my mind, there’s not a better song in WWE history, but that’s me being biased.”

Mike Aiello went on to reveal that at the end of the haunted attraction, an unreleased version of ‘Shatter’ will be playing. He shared that Code Orange’s Jamie Morgan presented them with the track.

Aiello: “Well, and to leap onto that, we actually have a version of ‘Shatter’ that no one’s ever heard before. It’s featured in the house experience. It actually is one of the last things that you’ll encounter from an audio standpoint as you’re engaging the very last room of this experience. We were blessed with Jamie Morgan — came to the table and said, ‘Hey, here’s this version of the theme that has never been heard,’ and that is now part of the finale of the experience so you’re gonna get this expansive version of this theme right before you disengage with the house…”

Speaking about the overall opportunity of the Wyatt Sicks being a focus point of Halloween Horror Nights, Rotunda said it’s been a dream come true.

He remembers him and Windham being on the road in developmental, and Windham saying that one of his goals was to have a haunted house at Universal Studios. Windham and Mike Aiello had been in contact, but they were not able to make anything materialize.

Rotunda: “This has been unbelievable. It’s more than a dream come true. Probably gonna repeat a lot of the stuff that Mike (Aiello) just said just because we’re on the same wavelength with everything but I remember driving when me and Windham (Rotunda) were just starting in developmental and FCW in like 2008. Driving, doing the Florida loops and seeing the Halloween Horror Nights billboards and Windham when we were just starting would point up and he’d look at it and say, ‘One day, I’m gonna have a haunted house,’ and it was not only his dream but my dream but he was in that. We grew up being such horror fans and anything scary, different, wild, we were always interested in it. So, I knew that was Windham’s dream and he was reaching out to Mike throughout the years, trying to get this to happen and for us to debut the Wyatt Sicks and to get in contact with Mike and make this a possibility and now a reality, it doesn’t seem real. It really doesn’t, and not only that, working with Mike and his team, like you said, they’re not just horror fans, they’re wrestling fans and they’re taking what Windham made and building on it. Not changing it, but growing it and turning it into a whole other world and that’s what we’re trying to do on WWE television as well. Taking what Windham started and keeping it alive. Not changing it but just keeping it going.”

Aiello was asked if there would be Jon Huber, a.k.a. Luke Harper/Brodie Lee, representation in the Wyatt Sicks haunted attraction, and his response can be read here.
