Ring rust is a very real thing and especially in the professional wrestling world, it is a very dangerous thing because the health and safety of your opponent are in your hands. Bray Wyatt has not really wrestled a full match since WWE SummerSlam, except for a squash at MSG. Bray Wyatt is in the main event of a pay-per-view event and one has to assume that this is a match that will last a while.

We saw how The Undertaker and Goldberg struggled to even put on the semblance of a match when they met in Saudi Arabia. Bray Wyatt is much younger, and I'm assuming a lot more in tune with what is required from him during the match, but honestly, a little bit of (the bubbly) practice does not hurt anyone and I mean that quite literally. Even if a bit of charm is lost by giving away a dream match beforehand, at least it prepares you for what should be a barbaric affair at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019.
While the 'muscleman dance' is a great way to stay in shape, it's not necessarily match practice at all.
