7 Things WWE Will Continue To Tease But Never Deliver On

Let's stop getting our hopes up.

WWE is well aware that their fans are loyal, and because of that, they know that they will buy into everything they tease thinking that it just might happen, no matter how many times they dangle the carrot in front of their faces without actually following through.

Of course, that has been the case with this company since the dawn of time, but it has been happening much more lately than ever before. In recent months, they have been "planting the seeds" for things that won't ever happen, and as a result, it's difficult to take anything they do seriously.

Why they won't deliver on certain matches, angles and other decisions is entirely up to them, but getting fans' hopes up is simply a waste of time. Perhaps officials assume that's what they need to do in order to ensure fans continue to watch, but they're smarter than that. At this point, the tactic has become more an annoyance than anything else.

If you've been patiently waiting for WWE to deliver on any of the following things, thinking that there's a chance they will come to fruition because of how many times they've been teased - snap back into reality. They aren't happening.

7. Turning Bray Wyatt Face

Remember that time WWE teased turning Bray Wyatt babyface and the fans loved him? No? WWE apparently doesn't recall that, either, which is why all hope might be lost for him by this point.

Wyatt has had far more lows than he's had highs during his last four and a half years on WWE's main roster, but some fans have stuck behind him, regardless, because they assume the bad booking decisions the company has made with him would magically go away.

If anything, he is way worse off now than he was at this time one year ago, and no matter who he is programmed with, it always ends the same: with him losing. The only way to fix that formula would be to turn him babyface, and at least he would feel fresh again.

That said, WWE has had their opportunities to make him into a fan favorite and they have yet to do so. That seems to suggest they have given up on the guy as a potential main event player, because otherwise they would want to experiment with anything in order to make him relevant again.

Wyatt might as well be considered damaged goods because after everything he's endured, it might be too little, too late for that to salvage his character.
