10 Booking Steps For Turning Bray Wyatt Into A New Undertaker

2. Have Him Require Multiple Opponents To Keep Him Down

One of the reasons the Undertaker became so popular during his initial years was because it took so much more work to keep him down. He was presented as such an unstoppable supernatural force that his first 100% clean loss was at SummerSlam 1998; up to that point, he had only lost in controversial fashion and by outside interference. In doing, so, Undertaker came to be known as the ultimate challenge: wrestlers needed to bring their A-game if they wanted to stand any chance of surviving an encounter with him. That€™s exactly the kind of presentation that Bray needs right now. Even though he has his €˜family€™ to work with him, Bray himself needs to be booking like a truly unstoppable force (and not as a fool that he falls for a sucker punch by Roman Reigns). As such, Wyatt cannot lose clean for a very long time. He needs to be booked as strongly as Reigns (if not more strongly), in order for his outlandish and ostensibly supernatural character to have more merit. If he€™s supposed to be some kind of preacher or harbinger of destruction, than he needs the power to back up his words. Thus, when he is booked to lose a match, he must lose via interference from multiple opponents (à la Undertaker vs. Yokozuna at the 1994 Royal Rumble).
