Reintroducing The Wyatts

The WWE has been airing these creepy segments over the last few weeks that seem to be reintroducing The Wyatts. They had creepy vignettes when they debuted that got fans very interested in them, so it is not shocking the WWE would go back to that. These vignettes seem to be putting the focus on Harper and Rowan, leading to the possibility of solo pushes for Bray's henchmen.

The WWE obviously has no direction for The Wyatts. Bray Wyatt's feud with Chris Jericho was disappointing. I was expecting better. Jericho put over Bray, which was not shocking. After that, not surprisingly, Bray Wyatt is left with no direction. This was the kind of thing that made me dread this feud between those two. It just seems like a waste and a disappointment. They are keeping The Wyatts hyped and keeping their characters relevant by these segments they are airing, but what do you actually do with them?

The WWE isn't actually breaking the group up, obviously, but I do not think they really need to be doing what they are doing right now. These guys should be treated as priorities. They should be pushed as upper-midcarders (A- players). It seems like they are being demoted back down to midcard status. You should have kept the ball rolling on these guys. Have Bray chase after a title. Have his guys get the tag titles. Debut a new member. Brainwash someone and run another storyline off of that. Have Bray actually "ruin" the career of someone he sets out to destroy. It seems like they may only be refreshing them to go through the same cycle they went through for a year now. That is a waste of their creative potential.

I mentioned that The Wyatts got demoted recently. Who got promoted to take their spot? I would say that would be Rusev. That kind of A- focus is on him now. He is still undefeated. Once he does suffer that first defeat, you can imagine him losing momentum, much like Bray Wyatt has. Who will get rotated into that spot then? I would not be surprised if the WWE debuted someone in the coming months and pushed that person at the same level they did Bray Wyatt last year and Rusev this year. Will it likely be one of those three big signings that a lot of wrestling fans are excited over? Probably. They will debut with a good measure of creative interest and hype, just like The Wyatts and Rusev did. They will have to have some kind of unique character to stand out. That will be something to watch out for.
