5 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 9th)

1. Wyatt Laughs In The Face Of The Undertaker

For a quarter of a century, foes have trembled at the mysterious powers of the Undertaker. It€™s rare that an opponent isn€™t at least taken aback, much less frightened, when Taker unleashes his powers. Even superstars like Shawn Michaels and Brock Lesnar all took a visual step backward during their confrontations with the Deadman. Bray Wyatt has been single-handedly carrying his feud against the Undertaker, challenging him indirectly and directly for weeks. Monday, Wyatt finally got his answer. When Taker€™s urn started smoking, Wyatt defiantly yelled, €œGive it to me! Come on!€ When Bray€™s signature rocking chair appeared in the ring and was set ablaze by lightning, Wyatt started laughing demonically at it.Considering that a year ago, Wyatt was engaged in a feud with John Cena where he couldn€™t get the upper hand unless his two minions €“ and a small child with a demonic voice €“ were involved. Now he is standing metaphorically toe-to-toe with the Undertaker, calling him out for WrestleMania. Wyatt is elevating himself by his actions, and if it continues, he could emerge on the other side of Mania as a serious player in WWE. Or he could be jobbed out to a tombstone piledriver and lose his next 10 televised matches. With this writing team, who knows?
