Bray Wyatt would gain a lot from a Feud with John Cena

Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron on RAW

John Cena was on the verge of getting Randy Orton to tap out and to become the new WWE world champion at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event when Bray Wyatt suddenly showed up and cost him the match. The Cenation leader was again robbed of the opportunity at the Elimination chamber match by the family when he was among the last three contestants. The Wyatt Family‘s appearance during the main events were very unexpected, to say the least. And now some fans are likely wondering if this moment could lead to a rivalry between the two men.

If the answer to that question is yes, then it could very well be that Bray Wyatt’s career is headed for a major push. That push would be generated from a feud with the poster boy of WWE: John Cena, a guy who would put their matches straight to the main event.

Cena is the face of the company. This means that whoever he works will join him in the main event. This could do wonders for a talent that is perhaps still growing, a Superstar who is not suited to sell the PPV but is sure to do that in the future. This is the point at which Bray Wyatt finds himself.

At this point, Wyatt’s character and in ring ability seems incredible and it seems more of a matter of time before he becomes a main eventer. His character seems custom-made for the WWE spotlight. His gimmick stands out mostly due to his charisma and enigmatic nature—two qualities that have helped other Superstars in the past to get over with the audience.

Bray Wyatt so completely inhabits the role of the maniacal non-conformist that, at times, he does not appear to be playing a character at all. It’s as if Bray actually lives somewhere and comes off as a very real person. He is that good at what he does.

Bray is coming off a major win over Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble. Bryan has been red hot as of late, and his popularity has led him to become the must-see Superstar in WWE. His work in the ring is exceptional, and his reputation of consistently delivering one fine performance after another is nearly without equal.

To get a clean win over him did more for Bray than perhaps anyone really knows right now. But considering that Bryan defeated Cena at last year’s SummerSlam event, then it’s safe to assume that theoretically, Bray’s win against Bryan would now favor him over Cena.

Is Bray now poised to succeed on the main event level? And is working Cena a means to making that happen? The feud is very organic to say the least. It would make a lot of sense.

First is the fact is that of all the heels currently in WWE, Bray could actually be the best fit for Cena. Bray’s distrust of the WWE machine is a direct statement against Cena, who is the symbol of the company. WWE and Cena are synonymous, and with that being the case, it’s easy to see why Bray would have no problem attacking Cena and leaving him for dead.

Secondly, the fact that even though Wyatt is respected by many fans for what he brings to the table, he is still very much a heel. Working opposite of Cena, who is the ultimate babyface in so many ways, is the perfect mix of personalities. The end result is a traditional rivalry, one that is predicated on good vs. evil, in its purest form.

While it’s still much too early to know what will happen, the fact is that Wyatt stepped onto a whole new level when he and his family attacked Cena. A once-rising midcard career has now jumped straight up the ladder to the main event level. And that is exactly where so many fans believe Bray should have been for quite a while now.
