The Boogeyman, one of WWE’s most chilling and unique characters, recently made headlines with an epic prank that left several superstars shaken. Known for his horror-inspired persona, complete with a clock-smashing entrance and handfuls of live worms, the Boogeyman has been one of WWE's most iconic supernatural characters since his debut. This recent backstage prank only amplified his status as a master of fear, reminding everyone that the Boogeyman isn’t just a character – he's a living, breathing nightmare. 

 The Setup: An Unassuming Backstage Area

The prank was set up in an area of the arena that appeared to be a quiet, routine backstage hallway. The Boogeyman’s team transformed this ordinary area into a haunted zone, strategically placing eerie lights, fog machines, and hidden speakers emitting unsettling noises. Fake cobwebs and shadows added to the suspense, creating a nightmarish scene that would seem right out of a horror film.

In an interview, WWE Superstar Xavier Woods mentioned that he thought he was just walking through to grab a coffee. Little did he know, he was about to encounter the Boogeyman up close and personal. 

 The Victims: Superstars’ Unexpected Reactions

As WWE superstars went about their usual pre-show routines, many unsuspecting talents were guided towards the haunted hallway. From seasoned veterans to younger talents, everyone was vulnerable to the eerie setup. Superstars like Ricochet, Liv Morgan, and even veterans like Dolph Ziggler fell victim to the prank.

Liv Morgan reportedly let out a scream that echoed through the hallways when she saw Boogeyman emerging from the shadows. She later joked that she “may never trust a dark hallway again.” Ricochet, known for his high-flying moves, almost sprinted out of the area when Boogeyman suddenly appeared. Some wrestlers laughed off the prank afterward, but others took a bit longer to recover from the shock, with many calling it one of the scariest things they’d experienced backstage.

The Boogeyman, whose real name is Marty Wright, has always been committed to his character, going to great lengths to maintain the eerie, mysterious vibe he’s known for. Even after years away from WWE’s main roster, he often returns for special appearances, and fans and superstars alike are captivated – and sometimes terrified – by his antics. 

For this particular prank, Boogeyman reportedly spent hours in the makeup chair, perfecting his look with red face paint, exaggerated features, and his signature bag of live worms. WWE sources revealed that Wright was delighted to reprise his Boogeyman persona for this prank, embracing every detail to make it as authentic and spine-chilling as possible.

 Social Media Reactions: Fans Go Wild

When WWE shared a video of the prank online, fans flooded social media with their reactions. The clip quickly gained traction, racking up millions of views within hours of posting. Fans loved seeing the unscripted, raw reactions from the superstars and praised WWE for bringing back the Boogeyman in such a unique way.

As WWE leans into more unscripted moments and backstage pranks, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Boogeyman’s appearance sparks more horror-themed antics. Superstars themselves have expressed a mix of fear and excitement over the idea of having him around more often, especially for special segments that add an unexpected twist to WWE programming.

The Boogeyman has certainly left his mark once again, reminding everyone why he’s still one of WWE’s most unforgettable and chilling characters.
