Speculation On Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania

There's a lot of speculation that Bray Wyatt was talking about The Undertaker during his promo on last night's WWE SmackDown.

Wyatt mentioned that he fears nothing, living or dead. He also said after what he does next, it will be hard for the WWE Universe to ever smile again.

At last word, WWE officials were still not sure on The Undertaker's status for WrestleMania 31 but with the Royal Rumble over, they likely got an answer and it appears they are moving forward with the feud.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

Bray should not only defeat Taker but also be the person to end his career. It is bad enough that WWE wasted The Streak on Lesnar. Wyatt is a long term investment and it will make more sense if Wyatt gets the honour of being known as the wrestler who ended Taker's legendary career.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

Bray loses: 'LOL SUCH A JOBBER'

Taker loses: 'LOL SUCH A JOBBER'

If this match does happen, then a Bray victory is the only logical outcome. An Undertaker win does no good for anybody.
It's THIS type of black and white thinking among many wrestling fans today that is hurting wrestlers IMO. Just because a wrestler loses a feud doesn't make him a "jobber". Bray Wyatt is the heel, he's SUPPOSED to lose at the end of the day just like in every other medium that involves a hero and a villain. I mean was the Joker a "jobber" just because he lost to Batman at the end of the Dark Knight? Was Darth Vader a "jobber" because he lost to Luke at the end of Star Wars?

IMO what it really comes down to is how much of a THREAT the heel felt like against the babyface during the feud. As long as they book Wyatt as a LEGITIMATE threat outside of the ring(playing mind games up the ass) and inside the ring(constantly cutting undertaker off, countering his signature moves, etc.) I don't see how it would be illogical for Taker to still win.

If Bray loses he's obviously young enough to recover as he's only 27 but IMO it would take till he's 30 before he's properly believable for the casuals etc as a threat.

He beats Taker and he's instantly believable in the main event.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

The only way this match makes any sense is if Bray Wyatt ends The Undertakers career.
Disagree. You have him put Taker down. Run the story that Taker is over. Brock ended the Streak and Bray ended Undertaker himself. But then Taker rises next year, goes and wins against Sting to show he still has fight in him till the very end, then they both retire and go into the HOF.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

A lot of complaints about the possibility of Bray losing to Taker, but I don't really follow.

If John Cena buried Bray Wyatt last year how is he in a higher profile match this year?

Crazy thought... It must be that it's not who wins or loses but the quality of the program.

People are overreacting to the extremes both ways.

1) Bray's credibility will NOT be killed if he loses to Taker. Who cares if Taker is 50 years old, he's still the freakin' Undertaker. It wasn't a loss to Cena that damaged Bray last year, it was the booking of the feud that damaged him. Most people would KILL to have their first 2 Mania opponents in the career to be Cena and Taker, two of the biggest names in the last 20 years.

2) Taker's legacy will NOT be tarnished if he loses twice. Shawn Michaels, Mr. WrestleMania himself is 6-11 at the big dance. Triple H is 8-9. The Rock is 5-5. Bret Hart is 8-6. Ric F'n Flair is 1-4. You mean to tell me that 21-2 is gonna be looked down upon? If his legacy is indeed tarnished with 2 straight losses, then it wasn't even a legacy to begin with. It's like saying Michael Jordan's legacy and career is tarnished just because he made a comeback with the Washington Wizards. It's nonsense.


Both of them will be okay regardless of who wins or loses. Bray, however, SHOULD get the win.

I do not want Triple H to lose again and become a big match jobber like Chris Jericho. I have no interest in seeing a 58 year old Sting wrestling a 51 year old Undertaker in 2016. I would rather have Triple H beat Sting and appear strong for his rumored match with The Rock next year. Bray Wyatt beating Undertaker could be a passing of the torch moment.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

Bray gonna job to 50 year old Taker? Fuck sake...
As if jobbing to Cena wasn't enough, now they're going to kill Wyatts credibility even more by having him lose to a 50 year old, old man that is barely mobile in terms of in-ring performance.

Pretty soon Wyatt is going to be this fat fuck that rambles on and on and then ends up getting his ass kicked.

Wyatt needs this victory to save his career. Fuck Takers legacy, he had 20+ years on top if he loses in consecutive Wrestlemania's it won't hamper his legacy in anyway. Some people actually want Taker to win so it doesn't tarnish his legacy :lmao, if you all really want that then don't put him in the ring with Wyatt, put him in the ring with Ryder or someone. Wyatt needs the win to save his career and for the casuals and smarks to finally take him seriously and a credible threat to the rest of the wrestlers.

If Taker wins what's it going to do for him? He's not going to appear on the Raw next night and probably won't appear again till Hall of Fame time.

If Wyatt wins, it's going to do everything for him! He's the one whose going to be appearing Monday nights, Tuesday nights, on house shows, on autograph sessions etc.

Wyatt needs to absolutely thrash Taker, that's not a bad thing at all and helps Wyatt in many ways.

Bray goes over.
Has as much chance of happening as MiSu getting his ass kicked by the rope holder because he's had enough of his shit.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

Why won't Undertaker retire? He's starting to appear, to me, as a sad man who has no life outside of wrestling. In other words, he continues to wrestle because he doesn't know what else to do beyond this point. Considering that he's one of my boyhood favorites, I can't feel anything but sympathy. He needs to retire with grace. He should have been gone years now.

The streak is over, Brock Lesnar carried the "1 in 21-1" momentum well, and it was at Wrestlemania 30. It's time, Undertaker.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

bray losing will finish his credibility. losing to a guy who's that old and hasn't looked good his last match, not to mention he needs a full year to recover from a match.

bray needs to destroy taker, and 'steal his power'
You are contradicting yourserlf with this post. You talk about Taker being old and don't having a good match last year and needing a full year to recover and then you talk about "stealing his power".

If you talk about Taker the gimmick then there's nothing wrong with Bry losing to him.

And even then you say Taker is old. Well Bry is fat...too fat and too short compared to Taker.

I won't be surprised if Taker kicked Bry's ass in a real fight.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

It's so obvious Bray is being built up for Taker. He really should win though.

Unless of course a loss might try and bring a little more intrigue and suspense to next years Sting match. It doesn't need it but I could understand the thinking there.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

Everyone's talking about how Taker is suppose to face bray this year and possibly Sting next year. Am I the only one who doesn't see him returning to the ring at all? I may be wrong but given his age and how bad he looked last year I don't see it happening. I would be awesome to see him wrestle again though if he was fit enough.

He had a concussion last year which fucked him up.

Before that he had awesome match after awesome match.


For me though, Bray vs Taker needs to be a last man standing or a buried alive match. It would really sell the 'Taker is over' storyline.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

I still don't buy that this feud is happening. Why would Taker WANT to face Bray Wyatt? He's gonna beat himself up that much more just so he can have a meaningless win that buries another young talent? Or lose to him, and have Wyatt end his career, or not end his career and completely invalidate the win? I just don't buy either scenario.

Bray Wyatt better win, though. He won't, obviously, because WWE's gonna WWE, but that's what needs to happen.

If Bryan is fighting Ziggler. Who else is Bray gonna face in a high profile match at this point? I think it's happening and Taker is winning.

Re: Speculation On Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania

Lol @ anyone saying if either man loses they're "jobbing". And when I say this I'm laughing at the idea of the smark concept of "jobbing" as in "losing unfairly and pointlessly" and not the actual wrestling definition of "doing ones job (and losing)".

Either way is logical. Wyatt marks. :kobe8
