What Are They Doing With The Wyatts?

What are they doing with The Wyatts? They are all doing their own thing, which is not shocking, but how they are utilizing them is interesting. And I don't mean that in a good way.

Rowan just seems completely lost. He is just there. He randomly pops up. You can make the argument that this fits his crazy character. He is lost and directionless. In kayfabe, that may be the case. Problem is, that also seems to be the case in terms of his booking. He is not a priority. I don't feel too bad for him. A lot of fans have said that he was the weakest link of the stable.

Harper was said to be the best member of The Wyatts by many fans. Where is he? It seems he is in the main event of Survivor Series. He has joined Team Authority. I just have a feeling this would not be happening if depth was not as bad as it was. I think Harper should get pushed well in the midcard. That will likely still come after Survivor Series. But putting him in this match? He is a big man and dangerous, but you already have guys like that on the heel team. You have Kane, Mark Henry, and Rusev. Seth Rollins is in there, as well. He is being groomed to be a top star. If not Harper, who should be that last member of Team Authority? What kind of person should it be? I don't think it needs to be muscle. How about some credibility? Miz is a heel with no legitimate direction. Or is he too much of a joke these days? Why not Triple H himself? Many fans have pointed out that it is ridiculous that Triple H would not be in this match. His position of power is on the line. This is supposed to be the main event of one of the biggest WWE PPVs of the year. You would think they would put some real main-eventers in it. They already have guys to represent the "future" of the company involved in this match.

How about the leader of the group? Bray Wyatt has his feud with Dean Ambrose. It is disappointing. It is even more disappointing than Bray's feud against Jericho. Team Cena vs. Team Authority is the top feud going on right now. The #2 feud would be Wyatt vs. Ambrose. And the development for it is just so poor. For months, they have sold Dean Ambrose as this lunatic determined to get revenge on Seth Rollins. Bray Wyatt screwed him. You would think Ambrose would show that same determination against Bray Wyatt. It isn't there. Focus on this feud just isn't there. I don't think you can use the excuse that all that time needs to be spent on The Authority and the faces out to put an end to them. You still have a lot of time and can make better use of the time being used on Wyatt/Ambrose. How many people had high hopes when Ambrose and Rollins main-evented the last PPV? Bray Wyatt getting involved disappointed some, but did it give anyone hope that the feud between him and Ambrose might be good? That is why you never make too much out of one moment. Nevertheless, I was expecting better than what they have done since Hell in a Cell.

Not to give the WWE credit for thinking ahead, but can they be planning something big for The Wyatts? Could what they are doing with Harper lead to The Wyatts getting more involved with The Authority? You can have some kind of demented power struggle between Bray Wyatt and The Authority. I don't think they will go in that direction. Even if they did, they would find some way to ruin it with John Cena. If they did, however, it could make for a great storyline. It would really make Bray Wyatt look like a legitimate top player, if only for a few months.
