Imagine you're Bray Wyatt.

Your character showed promise, initially. You were the successor to the greatest and most enduring gimmick in the history of modern wrestling. Then the defeats happened. Wins and losses don't matter, except you're a God who can't see them coming, rendering you an utter dunce. A broad and useless creative regime ruins your mystique through supernatural schlock and your one-dimensional role as a Deus Ex Machina. Everybody loses faith in the preposterous character you once somehow got over.

Meanwhile, your employer breaks the habit of a lifetime, and allows an entire presentation created outside of its walls to air unabated in the main event of its flagship TV show. This feels like fate. This property boasts a "Lake of Reincarnation," theme presenting to WWE a literally endless pool of new ideas with which to come back anew and remove a stigma of disgrace. This can't be overstated: through only some fault of your own, nobody takes you seriously.

You can become anything. You worked hard throughout your run, and never really complained, so your karmic balance surely positions you for a rethink. You re-debut on the Grandest Stage of Them All. It's a good start!

And then you come back as Bray Wyatt, again, only a babyface. Once you're separated from Matt Hardy - and this is inevitable, since your employer seems to be embarrassed by him, too - your verbiage will evolve from gibberish to lame.

What a waste of a much-needed career reset this was.
