6 WWE Superstars we could see in a new Wyatt Family

We have been seeing signs of his return for weeks!

Matt Hardy was in India doing media a few months ago, and I had a chance to interview the legend, asking about his in-ring future. While answering the question he also shed some light on what happened with Bray Wyatt:

I think Bray needed a little time off. He'd had a car accident. So, I think it was just a little bit of time off for everyone. So, I think you'll see an evolution of Bray Wyatt and an evolution of Matt Hardy.

As much as I would like to see Bray Wyatt return as a singles competitor, we all know that he fares better when he's a cult leader. In fact, the vignettes that we've been seeing these days point to the fact that he'd actually be a puppet master when he does return. Expect him to be back at any time now.

So, if he does reunite the Wyatt Family, who would the new members be? We all know that Luke Harper has asked for his release, so his days in the ranks of the family may indeed be numbered.

Let me suggest a few alternatives for the new Wyatt Family...

#6 & 5 The Ascension

It's been a while since we've seen The Ascension on TV, and I think repackaging them and making them Bray Wyatt's muscle men may be the best career move for the duo. After all, anything is better than being benched and not having a role at all.

The Ascension has always been on the fringes of a supernatural gimmick, and having them become a part of the Wyatt Family will only serve them well. Bray Wyatt can pull their strings and have them carry out acts of mayhem and destruction in WWE, elevating them.

#4 Killian Dain

So basically what I'm suggesting for Killian Dain is the run that he should have had with SAnitY, in the Wyatt Family. There are few men as big as Dain who move as fluidly and as effortlessly as he can. However, his run as a part of the faction was nixed and they got no TV time.

The Miz took on the trio right before WrestleMania and even emerged victorious in the match, but in doing so he took away all of SAnitY's heat. And now the trio is no more, with Wolfe having joined NXT UK, and Eric Young and Killian Dain on two separate brands.

I think a fresh start for Dain may be the right way to go about things and a pairing with Wyatt will give him the credibility that he has so craved. He could even take the Luke Harper spot as Bray Wyatt's new right-hand man.

#3 Bo Dallas

While The Miztourage could always be a thing, I don't think there's any value in keeping the two men together for now. Instead, could we see a real-life pairing of two brothers in Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas?

This is a possibility that has been discussed and debated several times, but never has really come to fruition. Bray Wyatt has always been much lower down the totem pole than his brother has, and even though he came to the main roster with much momentum, none of his characters really worked out.

But Dallas is an actual actor and for him to adopt a supernatural persona should not be too difficult a task, in my opinion. And brothers generally love working with one another, which means that Bray Wyatt may be open to this idea too.

Bo Dallas really deserves to be repackaged and have the spotlight shine on him, for once.

#2 Abyss

I know that a lot of you may think that this idea is outside the realm of possibility. But I follow Impact Wrestling on a weekly basis, and Abyss was wrestling until very recently. He may not be the same performer that he was in his younger days, but he can still go to a degree.

I have been fortunate enough to interview Abyss on more than one occasion and there cannot be a kinder, nicer person than he is. We all know that he is a backstage producer in WWE at the moment, but if he puts on the mask (or even facepaint if you remember his Decay stint), I'd say that he could be a member of the Wyatt Family quite easily.

Abyss is also a very creative person, so he'd be a great lieutenant for Bray Wyatt, even on an off-screen basis. The two men could potentially create some magic!

Notable exceptions

There are so many WWE superstars who do belong in the Wyatt Family. But somehow, they're at a stage of their career where a Wyatt Family stint may not necessarily benefit them.

The three names that immediately come to mind are Randy Orton, Braun Strowman and of course, Daniel Bryan. Each of these men has been in the Wyatt Family in the past, but unfortunately, they're so well established as singles stars at this time, that I see no point in having them join the Wyatt Family once again.

The same could be said for someone like Lars Sullivan, whose physical attributes make it seem like he would be ideal for the Wyatt Family. He's doing fine in a singles environment for now.

Rowan is also doing fantastically as Daniel Bryan's sidekick. Eric Young could become a potential member, but he'd be number 7 in my list of probable candidates.

#1 Nikki Cross

There is literally nobody better suited for the part of Sister Abigail in WWE than Nikki Cross is. I mean you could always make the argument for Rosemary, but she's going to be a part of Impact Wrestling for a long time now, having already signed a major deal with the company.

The fact that we still don't know whether Nikki Cross will be a part of RAW or SmackDown Live certainly alludes to the fact that there could be special plans for WWE's twisted sister. In fact, the vignettes show a very creepy doll and that could pertain to Nikki Cross' WWE gimmick.

With Nikki Cross by his side, Bray Wyatt could certainly become an unstoppable force. Nikki Cross could make the character of Sister Abigail her own and leave the WWE Universe transfixed with her incredible mix of sports and entertainment skills.
