WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 is one of the most impressive match cards the WWE has put out since Wrestlemania 33 and the pay-per-view promises to be a memorable one. And on paper, Seth Rollins vs Bray Wyatt seems to fit the bill perfectly for the event as an upper mid-card match. But, it doesn’t quite feel that way.
The two men started feuding in the aftermath of WWE Extreme Rules 2017 and things just haven’t clicked between the two men. Despite being extraordinarily good individual performers, this match made in heaven has quickly turned sour.

The fans aren’t invested in the feud and their reasons for fighting seem silly at best. Seth’s lacklustre babyface run coupled with Bray’s increasingly eccentric promos and lack of momentum since his Wrestlemania 33 loss to Randy Orton has ensured this match remains on a low boil for now.
All that could change at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, though, with a great match and every great match needs a great ending. That’s what we’re here to discuss. So, without any further ado, here is our list of 5 possible finishes for Seth Rollins vs Bray Wyatt at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017:
#5 Bray Wyatt uses his mystical powers to win
Bray Wyatt’s character has always resonated well with the WWE Universe but that is in no way, shape or form due to the WWE’s creative team. In order to fulfil his promises of magic and all that mumbo jumbo, creative has resorted to cheesy things like illusions, 3D holograms, and the much-derided House of Horrors.
There could be more of the same on offer at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017. Wyatt has been preaching about his Godhood and he could be given something as ridiculous as the examples we have mentioned above in order to show his Godlike powers and pick up the victory.
It would be a terrible idea and one wonders how much longer Bray will be over with the fans if they decide to keep booking him into such terrible situations.
#4 A double turn
Seth Rollins’ run as a babyface has been average to say the very least. He has been lukewarm throughout and this feud seems to be the one where the fans stop caring about The Architect. He needs something new and fresh in order to get his career back on track. Perhaps what is needed is a heel turn.
Bray Wyatt, on the other hand, has always been one of the most over guys in the WWE due to his commitment to his gimmick and how well he connects with the WWE Universe. But, he has been booked badly as a heel ever since he debuted in the company. Perhaps what is needed is a face turn.
A double turn at the end of this match with Seth picking up the victory via dirty tactics or snapping after a loss could be the catalyst for the careers of both men to regain a lot of that lost explosiveness.
#3 Bray Wyatt wins clean
The last time Bray Wyatt had some major victories in the WWE was when he became WWE Champion and then defended the belt on the road to Wrestlemania 33. He looked imperious during that time and it was because he was booked perfectly with clean victories over the likes of John Cena and AJ Styles.
That could be what is needed to proper Wyatt back into the main event picture. Unfortunately, the WWE just love to pull weird stuff where The Eater of Worlds is involved and it doesn’t look likely that they’ll go this route.
#2 Bray forms a new Wyatt Family
If the WWE is going to persist with Bray Wyatt as a heel, they need to book him as a dominant force of nature who does what he likes and takes what he wants. To that effect, perhaps it is time to form a new Wyatt Family.
Reprising his role as the leader of a faction could be exactly what the doctor ordered for The Eater of Worlds but they have to be booked right and the WWE’s creative team cannot repeat the mistakes of the first version of the Family.
To that effect, taking out Seth Rollins would be a great place to start.
#1 Seth Rollins wins clean
When everything is said and done, though, this is the most likely outcome of this match between Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017: Seth hits his new finisher – rumoured to be named Kingslayer – on Bray to pick up the win clean.
It’s the drabbest way to finish up with what has been a drab feud but that’s what the WWE has been known for in recent times. This would change nothing for both competitors but would just move them along to their next feuds with very little payoff.
