#4 It is humanising Bray Wyatt
Trending
We all know Bray can deliver a great promo, the aura that surrounds the guy inside and outside the ring are almost unparalleled considering the state of the WWE roster at the moment. However, one problem with him is that his character hasn’t really changed since his debuted.
In recent years he has toned down the nonsensical gibberish he usually spouts, and is starting to address his opponents more directly. However he still seems to think of himself as this all-conquering phenom, laughing at the mere thought of others being able to beat him in the ring.
The problem is, of course, that Bray has lost a lot more signature matches than he’s won, and his character just feels a little weak. Therefore the superiority complex he has doesn’t make a lot of sense.
In the final scenes of Smackdown this week, Bray looked visibly vulnerable and afraid. What Randy has done has served to peel away the outer layers of Wyatt and allowed the audience to see him at his lowest point, alone, without back up and questioning himself.
A perfect comparison here would be when Mankind started to reveal himself more as a personality after his interviews with JR. He was no longer this removed, evil creature we couldn’t relate to, but a messed up human being that we all wanted to cheer for. If this feud does for Wyatt what JR did for Mankind, this has to be considered a seriously important rivalry.
