Obviously this is a very good sign for Wyatt. Wrestling
fans these days only tend to get excited about the latest indy star getting
called up from NXT. It’s rare for anyone who’s not made their name in companies
like Ring of Honor and Dragon Gate to generate anything above a perfunctory
level of buzz. That more people are talking about his call-up than they were
about Antonio Cesaro’s last year shows that his rebranding has worked well.
Yeah, rebranding. That’s exactly what it’s been. Two
years ago he was Husky Harris. I always quite liked that name but it was never
going to get the man whose real name is Windham Rotunda to the main event.
The man has done a cracking job reinventing himself and
revealed a knack for odd and peculiar promos. His natural charisma didn’t show
when he was playing CM Punk’s heavy in the New Nexus but it’s shone through
since he became Bray.
He's coming...
It’s impossible to know what Bray, along with Erick Rowan
and Luke Harper, will do on RAW tonight. Presumably they’ll target someone.
That’s the standard operating procedure for any debuting faction. There’s no
obvious person or persons for them to target. There are simply no good guys on
the roster that are sufficiently over to make a good introductory feud for the
likes of the Wyatt Family.
That’s assuming they come in as bad guys. While their
vignettes have been creepy and strange they haven’t actually been portrayed as
clear villains. It’s possible the trio will arrive on RAW to face off with The
Shield. That could be interesting, but it’s not likely. The Shield are
currently being kept warm for a SummerSlam match against Kane and The
Undertaker.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Wyatt Family were used as
tweeners. Their build to the introduction has been so well produced that WWE
could do anything they want with them right now. The faction has captured fans’
imaginations. That’s not a bad spot for newcomers to be in.
