WWE RAW: 5 Things Bray Wyatt secretly told us through the death of Ramblin Rabbit

#2 Nod to an old segment

So, at one point during this week's segment, Bray Wyatt mentions that Mercy The Buzzard must be forgiven and indeed, even be rewarded for his actions. As a reward, Wyatt invites Mercy The Buzzard on a picnic, along with a lot of dejected looking little kids. It is clear that this segment is a nod to a classic segment featuring Wyatt.

Remember the classic John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt feud? At one point during the program, Bray Wyatt brought out a whole choir of little kids dressed in sheep masks. If you noticed the segment this week, Bray Wyatt held a toy lamb in his hand, clearly indicating that the proceedings were a nod to this one.

Both Erick Rowan and Luke Harper used to put on sheep masks when they arrived as part of the Wyatt Family. The symbolism is both obvious and also ominous at the same time.
