10 Awesome WWE Ideas That Didn't Last

6. Babyface Bray Wyatt

This could have been 2016’s crowning moment, if Bray Wyatt wasn't completely cursed. After missing WrestleMania 32 through injury, Bray returned after the Show of Shows to begin a feud with 'Bad News' Barrett's insipid faction The League of Nations. It seemed as though Wyatt was about to enter the babyface world - a world of electric promos and revolutionary fire.

All of which went out when Bray got injured again and returned to begin feuding with The New Day. It was a wet fart of a move to say the least, as all the hope and enthusiasm for WWE’s potentially game-changing anti-hero evaporated.

Since then, Bray has experienced a skittish babyface run of a sort, aligning with Broken Matt Hardy throughout 2018 until injury to the latter curtailed the tandem. Matt eventually returned as though the team had never existed, leaving the cumbersome cultist rudderless - and awaiting a 'fresh direction' - once more.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
