5 Ways WWE Can Rehabilitate The Wyatt Family

Can the Wyatt Family be saved?

By John Bills /

When they first arrived on the scene, the Wyatt Family were a breath of fresh air. In a professional wrestling universe where more and more performers are exaggerated images of normal people, the cultish weirdos had a true-to-life gimmick, a different aura and a unique feel to them. Bray Wyatt's promos were particularly enthralling, showcasing a style different to the 'tough guy' norm that had become uniquitous in the modern pro-wrestling landscape. Since their impactful beginnings, everything has, rather oddly, fallen a little flat. Bray has continuously feuded with top level individuals, from John Cena to Roman Reigns to Daniel Bryan, with each passing feud chipping away at the credibility of Family's leader. What went wrong? Well, Bray's promises of change never seemed to materialise, the promos became more and more one dimensional and what started off as a genuinely threatening presence became a sideshow, an irrelevance, a missed chance. Now it is less a case of 'Who will Wyatt target next?', more of a 'eurgh, this again?'. Something needs to change, and fast. Can the Wyatt Family be rehabilitated? This is professional wrestling, and the answer is always 'of course', but it won't be easy (although it is definitely possible). Here are five ways WWE can make the Wyatts a force to be reckoned with once more.
