Official WWE portrait artist Rob Schamberger shared a story on Twitter last week about a family member who was shopping at a Walmart and searching for a wrestling action figure featuring artwork by Rob. She stopped and asked a fellow Walmart patron if he knew anything about wrestling. It turns out that the person she was talking to was none other than Bray Wyatt, who grabbed his action figure and answered, “This is me.”

Wyatt also signed the action figure and took a photo with the woman, as seen below.

The random encounter generated some headlines this week, including stories at USA Today and Sports Illustrated, among other news outlets. It even prompted a response from the official Walmart Twitter account.
Love it! You never know when your fave professional wrestler action figure just may appear IRL. #surprisewhen -June
