10 WWE Storylines From 2017 That Will Never Be Resolved
9. What Does Sister Abigail Look Like In The Flesh?
As good as Finn Bálor Vs. AJ Styles was at TLC, the sort of great match we are treated to on a fortnightly basis - the result of which was meaningless, 24 hours later - was really scant consolation for what promised to be a moment of unparalleled schadenfreude.
Sister Abigail wasn't the typical Bray Wyatt spooky nonsense. It was hilarious; pitch-shifted to sound like a chipmunk, adopting a selective lisp in a laughable attempt to further "gender" the character - and dressing like a comprehensive school goth - Sister Abigail was phenomenal car crash television while it lasted: an absurdly misjudged development thought beyond even Bray Wyatt circa 2017. Sadly, it didn't last long: Wyatt succumbed to a bout of the mumps, at which he must have been bloody relieved.
To clarify: the idea of a wrestler in drag isn't funny, in and of itself. The idea of WWE expecting this not to be a hilarious disaster was the source of humour here. What would Wyatt have looked like out there? Would he have tripped up on that shawl? Would that have even been the most embarrassing element of the match?
Less facetiously, this promised such disaster that it may even have compelled WWE to finally shatter the Wyatt holding pattern, once and for all.
