8 questions from WWE Summerslam 2017 we most need answering

#4 Why is Bray Wyatt afraid of body paint?

It's only paint

A significant portion of the WWE Universe has been critical of Bray Wyatt in recent months and for good reason. His transition to RAW has somehow been worse than his treatment on Smackdown since the Superstar Shake-up; his feuds have been largely pointless, and his booking is not fitting of somebody once tipped to be the new Undertaker.

Unfortunately, his rivalry with Finn Balor has been no different. Their interactions are always stuck somewhere in the middle of the card each week on RAW, and are usually filled with pointless vignettes that try to come across as spooky or demented. but actually end up making both guys look foolish.

One redeeming feature of the rivalry was the return of the Demon King, Finn Balor's alter ego. It did make a bit of sense seeing as Balor needed to bring out his own dark side in order to counter the sinister mind games of Wyatt. But the way this match played out made the whole affair revert straight back to being confusing and unnecessary.

Bray Wyatt is supposed to be somebody who hears voices in his head and lives in a creepy old house with the remains of 'Sister Abigail' lying below the floorboards. He also has some kind of affinity with dangerous animals like snakes and crocodiles and can teleport at will as a way of getting into people's heads.

So why would he be in any way intimidated by Finn Balor who is effectively just wearing body paint? Apart from the entrance, there isn't too much that separates Balor from the Demon King.

The in-ring style is largely the same, and without the head gear on, it really does just look like Balor has visited the face painting stand at a young child's birthday party.

Sometimes, even though you can see the WWE are trying to tell a story, you just have to sit back and realise that they're not as good at it anymore.
