10 Coldest Performers In WWE Right Now

9. Bray Wyatt

The Bray Wyatt character has reached such a nadir that it's difficult to determine if he embodies wasted potential or emperor's new clothes. Was he ever any good? That Daniel Bryan match from Royal Rumble 2014 was incredible. But then, most major Bryan matches were. The Last Man Standing bout with John Cena at that year's Payback was another blinder, but Cena tends to excel under that stipulation.

It's just so, so tiresome at this point. Wyatt waffles on about his Godlike powers before either getting soundly beaten or using the most mundane tactics imaginable in what is wrongly depicted as creepy psychological warfare. Monday's bloodbath angle might have impressed as a spectacle, if the red stuff rained down from on high. It didn't; Wyatt was handed a mundane bucket from a crew member when the lights went out. He also trapped Randy Orton under a fridge during the naff House Of Horrors match at Payback. He might as well use a remote control as a foreign object at this point. At least then, he'd have our undivided attention.

His recent performance level and confidence has degenerated in parallel with his eternally shoddy booking. He doesn't seem to hit his body avalanche with the same oomph anymore. Sister Abigail doesn't have the same snap.

Is a full reset in order?
