#2 Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt are dragging each other down
While the WWE audience was having fun watching The Shield and the Wyatt Family do battle back in 2013/14, fans were understandably excited for the future. Here were six superstars that all had enough about them to be strong singles competitors going forward. Towards the end of the rivalry, two men who stood out particularly strongly were Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt.
Fast forward to 2017, and both men are involved in a programme with each other. The problem is, nobody really seems to care. RAW has a lot of interesting feuds going on at the moment. Enzo and Cass hit a very believable and heartfelt set of promos against each other, while the Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar pairing continued to send the WWE Universe into a frenzy.
Even the less-than-popular Roman Reigns is delighting the fans by getting beaten up by Strowman on a consistent basis. As a result, whatever is going on with Wyatt and Rollins just feels like a filler.
This is a shame considering the aforementioned heat these two used to warrant. By now, we all understand the many problems with the Bray Wyatt character, but this is the first feud where his shortcomings are visibly bringing another down as well. Bray is basically cutting the same promos that failed to get into the heads of John Cena, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and, most recently, Randy Orton. Why should we as fans believe that Rollins would react any differently to them?
With the WWE looking for people to blame for their poor ratings, somebody, sooner or later, is going to draw the wrong type of attention from management. Considering Bray was supposed to be an important main event star for the company, don’t be too surprised if the axe begins to fall on him if things don’t change.
