6. Wyatt's Foley-Inspired Move Off Apron
More so than ever, there's a definite air of Mick Foley's 'Mankind' character surrounding Bray Wyatt. From the maniacal appearance and psychotic overtones, to even wearing a glove which resembles the one Foley used to employ the Mandible Claw, there are comparisons to be made between both men. Only adding fuel to that particular Fire, Wyatt has started using a move that his former World Champion peer, Foley can identify with. After Ryback had spilled to the arena floor, Wyatt chucked his own body from the ring apron, landing back-first onto his opponent with a splash move which came across really well, and only enhanced the reckless, care-free nature of the Wyatt persona. As longtime fans know fine well, Foley used to throw himself from the ring apron onto his rivals, dropping a thunderous elbow which often appeared to do way more damage to him than any of his foes. The same can be said for Bray Wyatt, and this was definitely one of the best-looking moves of the entire evening, one he'll surely be doing more of in future.
