After years of building up Bray Wyatt only to knock him down, it appeared as though creative were finally ready to pull the trigger on him as a monster heel when he won the WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in February.

However, ‘The Eater of Worlds’ dropped the title to 2017 Royal Rumbler winner Randy Orton 49 days later at WrestleMania, and has since rediscovered his losing streak on RAW.

The long build to his clash with Orton flirted with excellence, but the match was full of terribly-conceived projection theatrics. It killed Wyatt’s momentum in its tracks.

This World Title reign, which sadly yet conceivably could be the only of Wyatt’s career, would rank lower on this list, had ‘The New Face of Fear’ not beaten AJ Styles and John Cena cleanly to both capture and defend the gold in very good matches, before all of the absurdity.
