Daniel Wyatt Is No More

Well, that didn't last long. Daniel Bryan joined The Wyatts two weeks ago. A week after that, he officially debuted on Raw as a Wyatt and teamed with them. This week on Raw, he turns on Bray Wyatt and attacks him in a cage, leaving the group.

There are some feuds or storylines that drag on too long and some that end too soon. I always say that I think the Miz's feud with Fandango lasted too long at a time when he should have been doing something more important. A lot of fans always complain that the Nexus angle ended too soon and the WWE messed it up. Where does this angle of Daniel Bryan joining The Wyatts fit in all that? Did it last too long? Too quick? Just right?

I still feel the WWE should have handled things sooner and quicker to get Daniel Bryan the new gimmick, but that is not really the question right now. Did they bring an end to the gimmick too soon? It would definitely be crazy to say that they let it go on too long. It only lasted two weeks! I felt it was a bad decision to follow through with this storyline development since they had taken so long to pull the trigger. Daniel Bryan should not be tied down with this gimmick during Wrestlemania season. But they did pull the trigger. And I would say that they did end this gimmick too soon. They did it and did not develop it properly. This could have been a great elaborate storyline. You could have gotten so many people involved in this, including some divas. The Usos benefited from this by winning a Raw main event, but I doubt that will mean much for them in the long run. Basically, this storyline development did not do anything for any possible supporting characters that is too major. Just from the standpoint of a good story, it was obvious Daniel Bryan would be free from Bray Wyatt sooner or later, whether someone else helped free him or they revealed he was playing with Bray the whole time. But they could have developed it so much better. This Wyatt gimmick has potential. Having Daniel Bryan join them could have made for that potential really being utilized well. There were a few directions they could have gone, but the quick exit to set up Daniel Bryan eventually defeating Bray Wyatt was not a great option.

The Wyatts just look pathetic right now. The storyline is getting a ton of attention, but the actual stable is looking bad. Bray Wyatt doesn't look as strong as he once did. Can you imagine him beating Daniel Bryan in a singles match? I doubt that will happen. Will they likely lose momentum after that? What interesting feud can they possibly develop for them? If they had somehow gotten this angle with Daniel Bryan to last properly, then you might have some hope for them. Not only will it not last, but having Daniel Bryan join them has damaged their momentum. The Usos look better than them. The Wyatts will most likely not be moving on to better things after Daniel Bryan. Will people say that Daniel Bryan buried The Wyatts if the WWE does not follow through with them? People sometimes say John Cena buried Nexus. Blame should obviously go to the company for not following up better, but I will be more interested to see how fans react to what happens with The Wyatts than seeing what actually happens to the group.
