Daniel Wyatt

That could have been Kane with that makeover. Stop and think about that for a moment. Just in terms of the look, I am glad they did not go with Kane. Bray Wyatt already has two henchmen that are big guys. Kane getting that makeover and joining the group might have made him blend in with the group too easily. For this storyline, you might not want that. You want the guy that joins to stand out to make it really talked about. And a guy that is so popular like Daniel Bryan joining also makes it stand out more. Kane has been heel, face, and everything in between so often in his career, it might not have had the same impact as Daniel Bryan doing this. For the sake of continuity, it still would have been better if they followed through with Kane, but for the good of the group in terms of adding someone really popular and stands out more in comparison to the other two henchmen, Daniel Bryan fits.

Just focusing on Daniel Bryan now, you saw your first official look at him as a Wyatt now. He even teamed with the group. He does appear to be a true member of the group. However, it appears they are teasing the friction among the members already. The Wyatts were not victorious on Raw. The reason was a little tension between Daniel Bryan and his new partners. Is this really the direction to go? So soon? You have the commentators hype how great the group is going to be with Daniel Bryan on their side, then you immediately tease issues? The WWE probably will not follow through with that, given their recent issues with going back and forth with these kind of things, but I think this should have been the time to build up the group's credibility with Daniel Bryan.

Is Daniel Bryan playing the character well? I'm not talking about the look. Costume does not define how well the person is performing. I think Daniel Bryan is playing the character well. He is blocking out the fans and keeping himself in check. That is not always easy to do. You know Daniel Bryan can be energetic and really hype the fans up, whether face or heel. This is a storyline that calls for him not doing that. They can still run this storyline in the path of Bray Wyatt eventually choosing Daniel Bryan over the other two, then Daniel Bryan revealing he was faking to get his hands on Wyatt without the goons around, but Daniel Bryan is playing his role well for now to make me believe he is a true member. If they do go that route, this would end up a good storyline. If they do not, it can still be a great storyline by developing Daniel Bryan as an accepted member of the group and someone else has to "save" him.
