5 gimmicks Bray Wyatt could adopt going forward

The Lake of Reincarnation is a valuable asset which came along with Matt Hardy's Woken gimmick. It is used to smoothly change a WWE Superstar's gimmick.

A fresh gimmick could save Bray Wyatt from being lost in the shuffle like he was before teaming up with Matt Hardy. So lets get started.

#1 Joining The Authority

The Authority could help Wyatt rise to the top of the card

Imagine Bray Wyatt coming out in a suit. It's unprecedented and could have effects similar to Kane joining The Authority and becoming Corporate Kane. Wyatt has a much better chance at pulling off the gimmick because of his age and agility in the ring.

Having The Authority's backing, Wyatt would be assured of rising to the top of the card and would be continuously featured in and around the main event scene.

Bray as part of The Wyatt Family has substantially worked for The Authority in the past, but this time he could be in the spotlight representing them. This could further lead to a feud with HHH. The WWE Universe dearly awaited this during Triple H's last title run.

#2 Going back to his old self

One of the most fascinating entrances of all time

Even when I'm fantasy booking the gimmick changes for Bray Wyatt, they are all nowhere near his original gimmick. Bray actually won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter award for best gimmick back in 2013. Bray coming out with his lantern on, and in the midst of fire-flies created by the live audience, was a scene to behold.

As his association with Matt is now over, Bray could go back and become the cult leader he was when he arrived in 2013. He could gather some new followers, and feud with the re-united Shield.

#3 Sister Abigail

When Sister Abigail took over Bray Wyatt

From Bray Wyatt's best phase to his worst phase. The Sister Abigail gimmick was awarded the worst gimmick of the year by Wrestling Observer Newsletter in 2017. It became the lowest point in his carrier, as his character went from spooky to almost laughable.

Bray could re-emerge with the gimmick, and should try a different approach this time so he fulfills the expectations everyone in the WWE Universe had with this gimmick. Since he has already appeared with this gimmick, it was worth mentioning on this list.

#4 Husky Harris

Bray debuted as Husky Harris, as a part of The Nexus

The actual debut of Bray Wyatt on the main roster was as Husky Harris when he came down to the ring with his fellow NXT rookies, causing havoc in the process. He could always go back to being his debut character again. This could serve as the start of his full fledged singles face run.

There is so much potential in the Husky Harris gimmick which needs to be explored. It could potentially lead to a mid card title victory as well.

#5 Joining and leading The Authors of Pain

AoP are a force to reckon with

Bray Wyatt and The Authors of Pain both suffer from a common problem - they have no direction. Bray has lost his touch since letting go of his followers and going solo, while The Authors of Pain have not looked the same kind of destructive force they once were since the departure of Paul Ellering. At this point, they both need each other to be relevant.

While leading SAnitY is an option, it could hinder Eric Young's position in the group. Keeping them separate could result in more interesting stable wars which could be on the level of The Shield vs The Wyatt Family. AoP would gain more out of this association, and it would be a healthy development for the tag division as well.

#6 Bonus: Evil Woken Bray Wyatt

Woken Evil Bray Wyatt

I consider myself liable to give a bonus gimmick direction for adding Sister Abigail to the list (that's how bad the previous run of the gimmick was). I know The Deleter of Worlds turned pseudo heels in their last few matches, but a full fledged Woken heel Bray Wyatt could do wonders for him.

Here's how the story would pan out

Bray would come out alone to the ring, mourning the end of his tag run with Matt Hardy. In the midst of his speech, he starts laughing. Then he would go on to explain that he knew he could never beat Woken Matt due to the powers he possessed, so he joined him, and when he became Woken, he slowly poisoned Matt to attain full control. This would create some major heel heat.

Further down the line, Jeff Hardy could feud with Bray to avenge his brother. That's a feud that would've everything in it, backstory, good in-ring work, great promos, and a really intense personal rivalry.

That's all for today. Please do comment your opinions on this gimmicks, and add some of your choices if need be.
