The Eater of Worlds, Bray Wyatt has been absent from WWE TV ever since his former tag team partner Matt Hardy potentially retired from in-ring competition. Wyatt has been one of the most underused superstars on RAW.
He had established himself as the top heel of the SmackDown brand in 2016 and was even successful in capturing the WWE Championship. However, since he moved to the flagship show after WrestleMania 33, he hasn't had a memorable feud. Wyatt feuded with Balor for 2-3 months before igniting a rivalry with 'Woken' Matt Hardy.
Matt Hardy deleted Bray Wyatt, after defeating him in the Hardy Compound, which forced Wyatt to leave the dark side and join forces with Hardy. They formed the team known as "The Deleter of Worlds", and the duo even won the RAW tag team championships in no time. However, due to Hardy's injury issues, he could not continue wrestling and left Wyatt alone.
The rumour mill is running wild currently, with the rumour that Bray Wyatt will make a return at the Crown Jewel PPV, and help Braun Strowman win the Universal title. Here are 2 reasons why Bray should return this way, and 2 why he should not.
#1 He Should - Wyatt and Strowman could form one of the most dangerous pairs on RAW
Drew McIntyre is supposed to be Braun Strowman's first feud after the latter wins the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel. While the Scottish Psychopath has The Show Off Dolph Ziggler's back, Strowman does not have anyone in his corner.
The introduction of Bray Wyatt in this feud will balance both sides, and also the duo of Wyatt and Strowman could decimate the entire Monday Night Raw roster.
It is also being rumored that Wyatt and Harper both could make a return at Crown Jewel. Well, if that happens, then the re-united Wyatt Family could become the flag-bearers of the flagship show in the absence of Roman Reigns.
#1 Should Not - Strowman needs to win the title on his own
We all know that Brock Lesnar is one of the most protected guys on the main roster and only few superstars have been able to defeat the Beast clean in the middle of the ring.
If the WWE Creative team wants to establish Braun Strowman as the next face of the company then they should let him win the title on his own. Plus, a victory over a superstar like Brock Lesnar would elevate Braun Strowman to the next level.
There's almost no chance that Brock Lesnar will walk out of Riyadh as the Universal Champion as he is returning to the UFC soon.
It would be great if the Conqueror allows the Creative team to let Strowman go over him in a clean manner.
#2 Should interfere - It would give the Creative Team a golden opportunity to book a "Master vs Disciple" feud for WrestleMania 35
It has been a long while that the WWE Creative actually told a story with the Universal Championship involved in the feud.
Bray Wyatt's interference could help the Monster among Men win his first Universal title and the Eater of the Worlds can boast of it on RAW episodes which could lead to Strowman turning on Wyatt.
Wyatt can brag to be the one who brought Strowman to the main roster, thereby making him a WWE superstar. Strowman in his initial days, performed the role of the muscle of the Wyatt Family and was one of the followers of the former WWE Champion.
However, since the brand split in 2016, Braun Strowman has built himself as a strong singles superstar on RAW without anyone's help. This could hand the Creative team a future feud between the Master and the disciple who bettered his master in terms of in-ring success.
#2 Should Not - We do not need another feud between Brock Lesnar and Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt costing Brock Lesnar could potentially lead us to a feud between the two superstars given that Lesnar is still in contract with WWE.
We have earlier seen a match between the two at Roadblock 2016 where Lesnar destroyed the entire Wyatt Family single-handedly.
The same should not happen again as it is high time for the company to build its new stars. Wyatt is a talented in ring performer possessing a rare gimmick and should not be buried repeatedly like he has been in his storied career. Instead, the bearded superstar should have been one of the guys of the company.
