What we learned from the WWE this week: 8th May, 2017

#2 Bray Wyatt is still in limbo

Too good or not good enough?

Despite becoming a WWE Champion for the first time in his career, 2017 has not been a fantastic year for Bray Wyatt. In fact, breaking up the Wyatt Family and going it alone has only weakened his character overall. His feud with Randy Orton made Bray look completely incompetent as a main eventer.

Fans hoped that after being drafted to Monday nights as part of the Superstar shake-up, Bray could position himself into a much more favourable situation, perhaps going after Lesnar’s Universal Title, or the Intercontinental title at least. Instead, he’s currently not doing much of any importance on RAW.

For a start, there is some confusion as to who he is supposed to be feuding with. On his first night after the shake-up, he appeared to be going after Finn Balor, but that storyline has not really been touched since his first promo. More recently he seems to have been gunning for Dean Ambrose instead.

This has effectively made Wyatt into a chess piece in the ongoing feud between Ambrose and Miz over the IC title. He may have been in the main event of the show this week, but his involvement was very much a secondary concern. The result alone told us all we need to know.

Despite getting the win, it wasn’t without the help of The Miz. Are we supposed to think of Bray as too good for the IC title feud or not good enough? It’s hard to tell at this point, but one thing’s for sure, the thought of him main eventing a RAW PPV at the moment is almost laughable.
