Bray Wyatt..3 years ago he was the most over man on the roster,everyone loved him from his promos to his ring work.His entrance was captivating and was different. He had a classic match with Bryan at the Rumble,and followed it up with another in the 3v3 match with The Shield.In both matches he got the W on his own merits,no help needed.No distractions or anything to devalue him.
Then we get to the John Cena feud,now I know a lot of people on here are fans of Cena & that's fine,but I'm not and to me this feud was where Bray's momentum died. First he lost to Cena clean at WM which was the wrong call IMO. Then they had the cage match at Extreme Rules(?) which Bray won,but only after Cena was about to win,and a kid appeared to distract him.That win was the first sign of things to come for Bray and his booking,they made him look like an absolute joke. Payback 2014 - Cena wins after literally burying Bray under a container of some sorts.
After that we got the Jericho feud,and kudos to Jericho who put Bray over clean as a whistle at Summerslam and it looked like Bray got a bit of momentum back with the feud win..NOPE..the night after on RAW Cena literally demolished the entire Wyatt family by himself to keep him strong after getting his ass whooped by Lesnar. That was unnecessary as fuck to me,Cena losing one match wasnt going to make his fans turn on him.
As you can see,there is a clear pattern here,thry build Bray up for a bit just to lose all of his momentum by losing to a babyface down the line.It happened with Cena and Roman down the line.Nobody will take him seriously when he literally never wins a meaningful feud on his own merits.
They had such a great chance to elevate Bray to main event status with the Undertaker feud in my opinion.A win over Taker would've done wonders for Bray,the feud loss to Cena would have been erased because the memory of him beating at Mania. Nope,yet again Bray was built up for 4 months just to lose yet another feud.
At this point Bray was at a new low,as he started feuding with...Rytrash.Yay!He got the win in the match but it didn't really do much for him to be honest. Then after he was (kind of) built up(not really) he went into a feud with Reigns at Money in The Bank,now I did enjoy the feud but again,Bray lost definitively.Now I understand WWE were pushing Reigns,but it's not like Reigns losing would have hurt him.Bray losing just further told the fans that WWE don't take him seriously.
Now we get to Bray's latest meaningful feud...Randy Orton Now at the start I didn't really care for it as I thought Bray was just going to lose yet again so why would I care? Fast forward to Elimination Chamber 2017,Bray and Randy had been teaming for a while and it was entertaining as fuck and it seemed Bray was becoming dare i say, "RELEVANT". Out of nowhere the WWE PUT THE BELT ON BRAY? Was the WWE actually going with Bray Wyatt as the top heel again? NOPE.They had Orton absolutely demolish Bray at WM and beat him for the belt AFTER BURNING his house down.
Now we get to Payback...fuck.Bray Wyatt ACTUALLY won his own match!Yes,he won an actual feud on his own..nope.It took 3 guys attacking Orton and a damn refrigerator for Bray to win.And he didn't even get the win instantly,nah he had to take an RKO from Randy,and Randy needed to take 2 title belt hits to the neck for WWE to let Bray win.
This was a trainwreck,and yet again Bray Wyatt was made out to be a joke.It took 3 GUYS and a fridge for Bray to beat a guy who basically killed his sister.Wow. I'm done caring for Bray as a character,what is the point when he will never win anything of relevance..and if he does it will be to have him put over yet another guy e.g. Orton or Reigns.
Tl;dr Bray is dead as a character,there is zero reason to ever get my hopes up for him again.WWE does not care about pushing or protecting him.
