10 Times WWE Booking Failed Braun Strowman

10. The 2020 Bray Wyatt Feud

BUT FIRST, let's talk about the mask stuff.

Fresh off what was presented as a career-saving victory for The Fiend, Bray Wyatt got back to focusing on what he'd lost shortly before setting his sights on 'The Champ'.

Wyatt's humiliating loss to Bill Goldberg in February 2020 felt like a billion years ago by April, such was the stasis of the global pandemic declared in March. The opportunity to continue his rehabilitation was right there, but WWE instead elected to have the character chase the gold all over again.

It was a disaster for Champion and Challenger alike.

Wyatt Family fans rejoiced at this reunion of former leader and servant, but neither man seemed to be working with clear direction. Wyatt was mid-morph between his Mr Rogers persona and the cult leader of old, while Strowman's cartoonish no-selling of the whole thing made him even less endearing than he'd been when taking potshots at recently-released stars on Instagram.

A miserable match followed, with the pair's glacial Money In The Bank brawl "climaxing" with Strowman pretending to be back in the fold before ripping away his old sheep mask and scoring an easy win. Wyatt was the last person in the building to see through the ruse and there wasn't a single f*cker in there.

And they weren't done there...
