Bray Wyatt: What Went Wrong?

Or how a man with the whole world in his hands let it slip through his fingers...

Despite WWE's go-home focus this week skimming straight past it towards Fastlane and WrestleMania, it won't have escaped your notice that Elimination Chamber will take place this Sunday with the usual tonic of titles and 'Show Of Shows' terms all to play for behind the chainlink fences and plexiglass pods of the eponymous structure.

You, reading this right now or indulging in some of the other excellent content here on WhatCulture.com care about things such as upcoming pay-per-views. About matches and storylines that feed into them. About ramifications on the backslide out. You care about what came before as a way to frame what comes after. It's part of the fun, until WWE make it prohibitive.

Elimination Chamber may evoke memories of your favourite former incarnations of the match, or perhaps drive you to study the form of this year's contenders as a way to judge how they may get on during the the 2019 showcase.

There's nothing quite like a good anniversary comparison in the content game. Sadly, there's nothing quite like a bad one at the banter end of the very same seesaw. In considering the two years since Bray Wyatt at long last became WWE Champion, there's only one side the 'Eater Of Worlds' belongs on - and only one horror-filled house where that lonely, disused seesaw still sits.

CONT'D...
