Much like a lot of you, I've seen Bray Wyatt compete on multiple occasions. While he's always been a solid performer, he's certainly no Seth Rollins in the ring, purely from a work perspective. When Rollins says he's the best in the world at what he does, he isn't very far off the mark.

I will never undermine Bray Wyatt's abilities in the ring, but he's never going to put on matches of the caliber that Ricochet or Adam Cole do. In 2019, the work rate has become a very important criterion upon which fans gravitate towards you (or not). And as much as they love Bray Wyatt right now, the shtick could wear out very soon.

You just can't have The Fiend kick out of multiple finishers in every single match. Fans would certainly not like that, even if they love it now.
