Bray Wyatt may be the most interesting character in the WWE roster. Some may argue my statement and say that he always had the most interesting character in the company and yes, that would be a hard one to dispute, really.
But, during a show where your attention wavers ever so often over the course of three hours, his was the only segment that made me perk up my ears and pay attention. In this article, I shall point out and reveal 5 things that Bray Wyatt revealed through this week's segment.
Be sure to let me know if you think I may have missed out on one thing or the other during the course of the said segment. So much of what Bray Wyatt says is cryptic and I'm sure that I may not have caught on to everything.
Here are 5 things that I noticed during this week's show...
#5 His character is still dark and very demented
I know that a lot of fans were disappointed by the fact that Bray Wyatt is no longer a cult leader. They've likened his new character to a cartoon and to a children's show, and you cannot fault them. Because at first glance, it certainly does seem that way.
But it is quite clear that there's certainly something very amiss and very demented about Wyatt's current persona. I mean last week he tore apart a cutout of his former self with a chainsaw, didn't he? And this week's edition, while innocent on the surface, just seemed to be twisted and insane as well.
I'm just guessing that Bray Wyatt's character will get crazier and more creepy as the weeks pass. Like it or hate it, this character cannot be ignored at all.
#4 Abby The Witch may be voiced by a man
So, one of the questions last week was whether the Witch's name was Abby or Pammy. I think it was clarified during the course of this week's segment that it was indeed Abby. And the name, very clearly, is a nod to Bray Wyatt's spiritual muse- Sister Abigail.
Not long ago, I wrote an article about 5 people who could play the part of Abby The Witch when the act finally goes live and Bray Wyatt becomes an in-ring competitor in his brand new, repackaged avatar. I'd brought up names like Nikki Cross and Liv Morgan as possible candidates for the said role. But now, yet another possibility presented itself to us all.
It did seem like the character of Abby The Witch was voiced by a man on this week's show. Whether it was Bray Wyatt himself or someone else, I'm not yet sure of.
#3 Abby The Witch and Mercy The Buzzard won't be the only characters
Earlier, I'd assumed that Mercy The Buzzard and Abby The Witch will be the only two characters who'll be a part of the Firefly Fun House and would be played by two superstars But now it seems like Bray Wyatt will play a puppet master on WWE television and more and more characters will be introduced every week.
Rambling Rabbit was the latest character to be introduced as a part of the Firefly Funhouse. And I have a feeling that he will not be the last character to be introduced as a part of this faction.
This could allow for a variety of Superstars to be introduced into WWE as part of the Wyatt Family. It could allow for underutilized characters like Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel to make an appearance.
Fans have wanted a Bray-Bo alliance forever!
#2 Bray Wyatt will throw hints about other characters, through a word every week
I could certainly be wrong about this, but this has Matt Hardy written all over it. We all know that Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt are the best of friends and were even RAW Tag Team Champions at one point. So, there's always the possibility that Matt Hardy had a say in Bray Wyatt's repackaging.
I've interviewed Matt Hardy and he told me that he is influenced by films such as Deadpool, where everything is seen through the lens of irony. I'm drawing the parallel because the 'word of the week' concept has also been used by him previously. The 'Woken Word of The Week' gimmick was a big hit on Twitter back when it was used by him.
But by using the word 'sociopath', Wyatt told us that there was a dark underlying theme to this whole shtick and yes, I love it. Matt Hardy would call it 'wonderful'!
#1 There will be callbacks to older segments
I'm sure that a lot of you are longtime WWE viewers. If you're not, let me just give you folks a little history lesson from the time when Bray Wyatt was on SmackDown Live. During this time, he had two other members in the Wyatt Family. One of them was Luke Harper while the other was Randy Orton.
Randy Orton became Bray Wyatt's right-hand man, only to gain his trust and then burn the Wyatt Compound to a crisp. It is still one of the most discussed and talked about segments from WWE's modern era, with GIFs and pictures surfacing every day.
There was a callback to this segment during the course of the latest episode of the Firefly Fun House. I thought it was a nice nod to Bray Wyatt's history and how different his character is right now.
And yet, how eerily similar it is.
