10 Booking Steps For Turning Bray Wyatt Into A New Undertaker
5. Have Him Defeat Several Top Superstars Clean
This is a key part of the trend stemming from the previous entry, and is the most urgent step in making Bray Wyatt a major star in WWE. Wyatt has feuded with two major stars in John Cena and the Undertaker, and he has lost both rivalries, despite him being the one in most dire need of a high-profile victory. These decisions can still be rectified, however, by booking Wyatt to defeat several top stars cleanly. With the Roman Reigns project still slow-going, it would be a much better decision for Wyatt to win their Hell in a Cell match to gain more momentum for the rest of the year. In his immediate future, Wyatt would need to win against several top guys in the company: Randy Orton, Sheamus, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and, if possible, John Cena. The only way Wyatt can be taken seriously as a top superstar is if he defeats the biggest names in the company. Consider the following: the Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan, then-WWF Champion and gigantic draw, on the one-year anniversary of his time in WWE. Although he lost the championship shortly thereafter, the sheer shock if this rookie defeating Hogan elevated his career astronomically. Defeating top guys is what worked for the Undertaker, and its that precise creative direction that needs to be used for Wyatts future.
