I mean the guy has been in a few main event of Raws lately. He seems to be getting a push into the main event. I don't expect him to win the #1 contender match at ER or anything. But when are they going to turn him face? I think his Heel thing has run its course. Its time to repackage this guy. If they are not going to reunite the Wyatt Family, which I wish they would. Harper and Rowan are directionless without the clan (They are on SD I know). They need to pull the trigger on the Babyface tweener role. Wyatt is over. You know that when he comes out. I just think he needs a different kinda booking. And someone needs to give him a I don't know tips on his promos. In terms of going into another direction. I liked his promo with Roman. But I Don't know his laughing is getting old.

Pretty sure they're just biding their time before that epic Broken Hardy vs. Wyatt feud where House of Horrors meets whatever Matt Hardy did in TNA.

This.

Reigns and Wyatt is the perfect Superman and Kryptonite story of this generation and I well and truly believe this should be referenced more owing to the history between these two and Wyatt's upper hand in this feud thus far. These two were the last men standing towards the end of the epic Shield-Wyatt EC 2014 match and the story has only progressed to be more and more intriguing since that moment with a commendable mid card 2015 feud to boot as well.

They've got all the main event guys in a place where they could potentially feud with each other, once Braun gets back it'll round things out a bit and everyone can switch up who they're partnered up with now. It looks like we'll see various match-ups with Roman, Seth, Joe, and Finn until that happen. Added to those six, there's also Miz and Dean who'll look like they belong with anyone of them, too, so it really could go anywhere.

Being in a feud with Reigns is the best bet for him right now. He lost a lot of shine off the ending of that feud with Orton and he usually has good, solid matches with Roman and he also does well at showing how much Bray gets under his skin so that he seems legit and not like a rambling homeless man.

He was in great form last night with his promo against Reigns, the laughing could have been toned down, for my taste, but the, 'old friend,' stuff was very good. No fucking dead sister's ashes, no magic crucifixes, no glowing eyes, we should be wondering if Bray is so evil and crazy he really thinks of their 'relationship' that way, or if he's just trying to unsettle Roman and get him mentally off balance. Bray should always be an enigma like that, IMO.

I don't think they'll 'turn' him in any way, but he could start a feud with Joe and Roman could start a feud with Seth next week and it wouldn't feel wrong for any of their characters. RAW has a very strong and versatile ME scene right now, how well their top guys do all depends on the writing and storylines.

They're going down the same road they always go down.

- Very few TV matches as a way of preserving his 'aura'
- Rambling on the microphone when in a bigger feud, only to fail to back up his words.
- Will go over upper midcard guys like Miz and Ambrose because the WWE think beating these means he's above them.
- Will lose ever main feud he goes in, usually against the likes of Rollins, Balor and Reigns.

Rinse. Repeat.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if they had at least one heel, if not more that won the majority of their main event feuds? Would change the entire structure.

Strowman is currently set up that way, but we all know he's being built up just to lose to Lesnar and then Reigns. They've dropped the ball on Bray time and time again, but remarkably the audience continues to react to him.

They're going around in circles with him, like they generally do with talent. The WWE have decided that he's a "WWE Main Eventer" now, regardless of whether or not they book him like one. He'll be in the main event of Extreme Rules, and then he'll probably face Finn Balor at Great Balls of Fire. At some point, I do expect some interaction with Braun Strowman. I've got him feuding with Matt Hardy when they do the split off from Jeff, and I'd like to see that involve the former members of The Wyatt Family, since they always seem to be lost when they are not associated with Bray. Matt Hardy, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan vs. Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman is something I could see for WrestleMania.

I'm predicting we get Triple H vs. Kurt Angle at WrestleMania, but a babyface Bray facing Triple H would not be surprising either.

He needs to go back to his fcw style. I think a tweener antihero Bray that talks about all the injustice in the world, kinda a conspiracy theorist meets crow sting meets 2011 punk. Imagine that Bray going up against the authority
