Wyatt has linked himself Woken universe and can be a formidable leader

After months of legal battle with Impact Wrestling (or whatever it is called right now), Matt Hardy brought his Broken brilliance to WWE in a slightly toned down WOKEN version. This gimmick got so much effort invested on it to bring it on WWE, that it would be a waste if it doesn’t continue. Matt then recruited Bray Wyatt as a part of his Woken family.

After Matt’s retirement, the gimmick needs a new leader and Brother Nero is busy being the Charismatic Enigma over at SmackDown Live, Wyatt is the perfect candidate to lead a new stable as part of the Woken warriors, this can lead to a new Wyatt family with a fresh new Woken gimmick.

#2 Align himself with Braun Strowman

Wyatt family is the only team that could really keep the SHIELD down

Ever since the penultimate episode of RAW ended, fans among the WWE universe have been clamouring for the Wyatt family to reunite. But all those hopes came crashing down when McIntyre and Ziggler joined forces with Strowman at last RAW.

Although, never say never in Sports Entertainment. Come Hell in a Cell, when both Reigns and Strowman, with their respective allies, go to war with each other, and after the dust settles, the match might tilt towards the newly crowned champion with his loyal brothers by his side.

Ziggler and McIntyre being heels may leave Strowman alone to fight against the SHIELD, this would result in Reigns winning the match and the SHIELD gang up on Strowman, it’s when the light goes off for a sec, Bray and Harper appear and clear out the ring and start their feud with the SHIELD.

#3 Bray interferes and costs Strowman

The leader vs The follower

Roman Reigns loosing the Universal title after just one month of winning it is highly unlikely, but apparently, Strowman is never finished with Roman, so he would be in need of a new feud, and who better than his former leader.

Wyatt could appear during the main event at HIAC and attack Strowman. This will protect Strowman from eating a clean pin and also keep him away from Reigns. Wyatt and Strowman have a brief history and this might become Wyatt’s comeback to upper mid-card.

#4 Gets drafted to SmackDown Live

After Matt’s retirement, there’s only one Hardy left who was part of the BROKEN BRILLIANCE and Wyatt could move on to SmackDown Live to join his Woken brother. They could then go on to fued for the tag titles.

HIAC match between Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy would be the perfect opportunity for Wyatt to appear and help his Woken brother win his match against Orton.

#5 Sacrifice himself in the Lake of Reincarnation

The Woken Bray Wyatt gimmick hasn’t really set the world on fire. Actually, the gimmick has degraded and lost its charm after the mess that RAW’s tag team division has become. So, Wyatt may need a fresh new start which can be provided by Lake of Reincarnation.

Due to the loss of Matt Hardy, Wyatt may want to sacrifice himself. This could result in a wide variety of interesting gimmicks that Bray Wyatt can acquire. A fresh start may help Wyatt reach the main event level position again.

That’s all folks, please do share your opinions and any other directions you would like Wyatt to take. There would be a follow-up article based on the last slide which will discuss the different gimmicks Wyatt could adopt. So, stay tuned.
