WWE RAW was a pretty decent show this week, but the best thing, by far, was Bray Wyatt's brand new demented promo. It is the best thing about WWE RAW every single week for sure, but this week was especially very good.
As always, Bray Wyatt told us a lot through the video where you have to read in between the lines to make sense of it all. I do not claim to be as bright as Wyatt is, but I am a mark for him, so let me actually give it a shot.
If you want a recap of what happened last week, please click on this link. I'd love to hear what your thoughts and opinions are.
This is what I could personally gauge from this week's segment.
#5 Bray Wyatt is a babyface
One of the things that is obvious through this week's segment is that it's not going to be all fun and games for Bray Wyatt in this brand new avatar. This was obvious from the very start thanks to the creepy undertone of his character. But this week, the former leader of the Wyatt Family actually tapped into his dark side and unleashed the demon.
Something I found especially interesting is Wyatt saying that there's still a bit of darkness left in his head but he's going to channel it and control it. So, at this point in time he is a babyface or at least, is portraying to the world that he is a nice guy. Whether or not, he is able to control his demented thoughts and actions is another matter entirely, in my opinion.
Maybe there is a dark force that's leading Wyatt astray. This could potentially be one of the most creative things WWE has done in a while.
#4 Wyatt is preparing for a comeback
Bray Wyatt began this week's segment by saying - 'It's almost time for me to show the world what I've really been working on. But I can't do it alone. I'm going to need the help of all my fireflies'.
What this essentially signifies is that the weeks of waiting for a return to action are finally over and done. Bray Wyatt is primed and ready to make a comeback to the ring and it will happen, sooner rather than later. And when it does, he wants his fans, the fireflies to root for him again.
I could not be more excited about the prospect of such a comeback because the transition from the talk show host to a sports entertainer in the ring should be interesting. This is clearly the best thing on WWE television right now by a mile and a half.
#3 What is dead may never die
The Undertaker has come back from the dead in the past on more than one occasion and his successor was crowned on WWE RAW. No, it wasn't Bray Wyatt but instead Rambling Rabbit, who returned with a band-aid.
Of course, puppets can be torn to shreds and be brought back because they were never alive, to begin with. But it takes me back to Bray Wyatt's prophecy last week on Twitter, when he proclaimed that what is dead may never die.
This is a line that is used by the Greyjoys in Game of Thrones and almost like the God who brought Jon Snow back from the dead, Rambling Rabbit returned to the world hale and hearty yet again. And it is apparent that it bears no ill will at all towards Mercy The Buzzard.
Oh what a saint Rambling Rabbit truly is, right?
#2 He is likely to play a schizophrenic character
One the one hand, Bray Wyatt is your nice, friendly, fun house host. On the other, he is a demented sociopath (remember how he used the word?) who dresses up in a mask and attacks his opponents in WWE. This is probably going to be his character.
We all know for a fact that Abyss is one of the men who's backstage in the WWE Creative Team right now. We all know how he played the whole Joseph Park/Abyss dual character in TNA over the years. I wonder if him or indeed any of the gentlemen that have come over from Impact Wrestling had a say in his persona at all.
Whatever the case may be, it is clear that WWE is clearly invested in this storyline, which is why it is such a prominent part of the show. It's fresh and interesting!
#1 Nikki Cross will not be a part of his stable
There were many rumors that I bought into as well about Nikki Cross potentially playing the role of Sister Abigail as a part of the Firefly Fun House, that I bought into as well. After all, the dark and twisted persona of Nikki Cross is a perfect complement to the character of Bray Wyatt.
Only in this case, Nikki Cross is doing her own thing with Alexa Bliss. While this was not directly implied through the Firefly Fun House segment, anyone who watched the show probably realizes that both Wyatt and Cross will do their own thing in WWE.
In other words, there's a great chance that the Firefly Fun House may not even be a stable, all things considered. It could just be Bray Wyatt playing the part of multiple characters.
This is actually not necessarily a bad thing.
