When it became apparent a week or so after the White Rabbit clues began that Bray Wyatt was returning to WWE, fan excitement was noticeable for everyone to see. Thus when he made his re-debut at Extreme Rules on October 8th, literally anything he did would be over with fans, and WWE actually outdid themselves by bringing his Firefly Funhouse characters to life in the crowd. However, since then, things have fallen flat, with much of the attention being on Uncle Howdy, a new character who may or may not be Bo Dallas in a bizarre mask.
And while I get that Wyatt is almost the definition of a wrestler that’s over until the bell rings, the fact we appear to be no closer to a significant match than ten weeks ago is alarming. And seemingly, even his most diehard fans on social media are already starting to get irritated, as each episode of SmackDown goes from creepy video to creepy promo and back again. With it now being to the point, fans are just hoping to see Wyatt wrestle anyone, even if it’s LA Knight, a guy so low on the totem pole he himself only has three television matches since being called up to the main roster months ago.
Ultimately though, there is still time to save Wyatt’s return storyline, but considering WWE ruined his initial run as a cult leader by having his job to everyone, and then Goldberg squashed his Fiend alter-ego, history isn’t on his side. Nevertheless, I do have some hope in a post-Vince McMahon world. Still, something needs to transpire soon because if WWE seriously holds off his return match until WrestleMania, which has been rumored, he’ll be in the second match on night two.
