5 bold decisions from Vince McMahon that can make or break Bray Wyatt's WWE career

Are we ready for The Era of Wyatt?
Are we ready for The Era of Wyatt?

With his sadistic reincarnation and legitimate creative freedom, Bray Wyatt looks all set to terrorize Vince McMahon's billion-dollar company with The Fiend.

His extremely calculative attacks on Finn Balor and Mick Foley are only increasing the audience's investment in his terrifying gimmick.

One has to give it to Bray Wyatt. The man brought so much intrigue and darkness back to his character - a character some had felt was getting stale.

Be it the Firefly Fun House, or his disturbing transition into The Fiend, Wyatt has never been this over with the WWE Universe and, judging by the reactions he's received so far, Vince McMahon may very well have a special attraction in his hands.

However, despite being so incredibly proficient in his work, Bray Wyatt has never reached his maximum potential under Vinnie Mac's supervision. His disappointing losses to John Cena, The Undertaker, and Randy Orton at WrestleMania diminished his entire credibility.

Though the former WWE Champion did bring some excellent storylines to the table, the lack of creative direction killed his gimmick and with him being reintroduced as The Fiend, the fans are only praying for Wyatt's re-ascension.

But, the question is - Does Vince McMahon believe in Bray Wyatt? Does he want to push him to the moon? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 Vince McMahon decisions that could make or break Bray Wyatt's WWE career.


#1. Make his career: Destroying The Demon King at SummerSlam 2019

Will this happen?
Will this happen?

Despite the rumors that are swirling around the "Biggest Party of the Summer", there's no denying that Finn Balor will be taking some time off after his encounter with The Fiend.

Since the creative team has been efficient in their presentation of Wyatt so far, many are expecting him to destroy Finn Balor at this year's SummerSlam.

The Extraordinary Irishman is struggling to make an impression on the main roster and a revival of his character seems necessary after WWE's second-biggest PPV of the year.

Entering as The Demon King and losing to The Fiend would be the perfect way to reintroduce Wyatt on our screens. Considering how disappointing their previous feud was, Wyatt demolishing The Demon King would be the most appropriate way to move this gimmick forward.

#2. Break his career: Not giving him the creative freedom to develop The Fiend

Let him run this, please!
Let him run this, please!

One of the most significant reasons why the audience gets invested in a superstar is because of his/her character development.

Seeing a guy like Chris Jericho who has constantly reinvented himself only justifies that the management, as well as the superstar, should be true to his/her disposition.

Considering that Bray Wyatt was merely recognized as a guy who spoke the truth every week, him failing to get the job done or outshine his competitors diminished his uniqueness.

The Eater of Worlds has now returned with an entirely new gimmick and it's about time WWE gives Wyatt the creative freedom he deserves to build his character.

If Vince McMahon allows Wyatt to develop or have a fair share in the decision-making process, the former WWE Champion could thrive as the most indestructible force on the main roster.

#3. Make his career: Retiring The Undertaker for good

Right the wrongs for Wyatt
Right the wrongs for Wyatt.

In what could have been a game-changing moment in Bray Wyatt's career WrestleMania 31 had all the tools to cement The Eater of Worlds' position in the company's history.

However, nothing happened. Even though the former WWE Champion was successful in reviving The Undertaker for a blockbuster collision, the new face of fear failed to outshine The Phenom when it mattered the most.

Though his loss to John Cena did felt like a major blow to his prestige, a clash with The Undertaker would have only ignited the possibility of a 'passing of the torch' moment.

Considering that his loss to The Phenom felt like a final nail in the coffin, it's about time that The Fiend seeks redemption and hurts The Undertaker for good.

Since Wyatt referred in the Firefly Fun House that The Fiend remembers everything, Vince McMahon could take it as an opportunity to finally cement Wyatt's position in the company's history and letting The Undertaker have his moment in the sun.

#4. Break his career: Reviving The Wyatt Family once again

I hope it never happens.
I hope it never happens.

There's absolutely no denying that The Wyatt Family was pure gold when it debuted on the main roster. Bray Wyatt's image of a false prophet proved successful in ascending the stable's position as a legitimate threat on the main roster.

However, the lack of creativity killed the stable's credibility. Despite tasting the main event scene, Bray Wyatt and his followers never really found their way to the top of the industry.

The company could have legitimately presented Wyatt as a force to reckon with, but paving the way for Braun Strowman and giving him a monstrous push only suggested that the company were not serious about Wyatt's ascension.

With The Fiend now vowing to terrorize the locker room, it would be much more appropriate if the company pushes him as a major singles superstar instead of gradually getting the stable back together.

One cannot deny that The Wyatt Family was heavily overlooked, but the gimmick ran out of time and the lack of investment only killed Wyatt's run as a main-event threat.

#5. Make his career: Dethroning Brock Lesnar and becoming the next Universal Champion

This needs to happen.
This needs to happen.

Since I have always been a vocal supporter of Bray Wyatt ever since he made the transition to the main roster, a majority of the WWE Universe want The Fiend to indulge in a slugfest with The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar, who will head into the biggest party of the summer as the Universal Champion, is likely to outshine Seth Rollins and walk out of Toronto with the red brand's most coveted prize.

With Monday Night Raw failing to build any new main event stars, it would be an ideal time for Vince McMahon to push The Fiend to the top and engage in a feud with the Universal Champion.

If history is anything to take into account, Bray Wyatt was rumored to lock horns with The Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania 32, but it, fortunately, didn't happen.

Considering the two have never squared off in a singles match, The Fiend's terrifying disposition could just prove decisive in dethroning The Mayor of Suplex City and finally conquering the most coveted prize in Vince McMahon's company.
