10 Big Mistakes WWE Have Made With Bray Wyatt
4. Losing... Always Losing
“Bray Wyatt always loses”. You’ve probably heard this a thousand times before, but it’s absolutely true. In wrestling terms, Wyatt is a complete flop, and his win/loss record is atrocious.
The man himself claims to have no care for wins and losses, but there’s no value in a villain who can’t get it done between the ropes. Wyatt’s in-ring failings portray him as a man who’s all bark and no bite, and his penchant for losing feels more like an incurable disease than a fixable habit at this point.
It started well enough. Bray’s first few main roster months saw him overcome Kane, Kofi Kingston, and Daniel Bryan on PPV, but things took a sharp U-turn in 2015. One year after becoming John Cena’s personal jobber, Bray fell into the same role during his feud with Roman Reigns, and if he were ever wrestling on Raw or SmackDown, it was a safe bet he was going down.
Even in 2016, Bray only ever seems to win with a caveat. Be it a disqualification, countout, or distraction, Bray’s opponents always have an excuse for losing, and it has been no different in his feud with Randy Orton. You have to go all the way back to July 19th to find a clean Bray Wyatt victory, and that’s a huge problem.
How do you take a man without any credible wins seriously? The answer’s simple: you don’t. Fans might be more forgiving of his character’s misdirection if Bray was actually successful in the ring, but he’s a failure on both fronts.
