#5. Hope isn't true: Vince McMahon refuses to turn Bray Wyatt face?

Bray Wyatt has been one of the most intriguing Superstars in WWE over the last seven years. While he isn't the slickest or best in-ring performer, he's the perfect example of how a strong character is always more important.

It's hard to believe that in the last seven years of his main roster run, he's only been a babyface for a few months between April to August 2018 before taking a long hiatus and returning as 'The Fiend'.

While it makes sense for 'The Fiend' to be a heel, Tom Colohue told Korey Gunz on Dropkick DiSKussions that it's only Vince McMahon who's pushing the idea of Bray Wyatt as a heel:

"The person really pushing these feuds and the idea that Bray Wyatt is a heel is Vince McMahon. He wants Bray Wyatt to be used as a heel. He wants Bray Wyatt to push faces. Unfortunately, we've now got this system where anyone feuding with Bray Wyatt ends up switching from heel to face or face to heel. You get that bizarre RAW after WrestleMania feel from the guy, but Vince McMahon never got the RAW after WrestleMania either"

We hope this isn't true because the door for a face turn should always be open for Wyatt. We've never seen what Wyatt can truly do as a babyface. The most we've seen out of it (apart from 2018) was a two to three-week run he had as a face in 2016 before he got injured.
