#2. Why Bray Wyatt should be signed: Wyatt's personality could be great to work against Darby Allin

Darby Allin's storyline could benefit immensely from an antagonist like Bray Wyatt showing up on the scene. Wyatt's spooky presence could challenge high-flying straight-edge Darby and even create a feud with Sting to develop in the future.

Many fans have expressed an interest in a feud between Darby Allin and Bray Wyatt. It would be very interesting to see it come alive in the Arena, backed up by meaningful motivations.


#2. Why Bray Wyatt should not be signed: Wyatt has been known to be hard to work with

It is no secret that Bray Wyatt has also not been looked upon as a good superstar to sign. Some of his storylines did not pan out as they should have, and this was where discrepancies reportedly arose between Wyatt and the company's creative unit.

Wyatt, who was released by WWE on July 31, was displeased with the shoddy booking surrounding his character and is also believed to have been outspoken about it and this is believed to have angered chairman Vince McMahon. McMahon not being appreciative of his employee doesn't help the case.

This hints at Bray Wyatt's tendency to challenge authority and his management. Although it can be argued that management was at fault for handling his character poorly which sparked the conflict, Wyatt did not come off looking as the best employee either. Internal conflict does not bode well for any organization, and this might be one of the reasons why AEW is not moving forward with the signing.
