Does anybody outside the obvious few really know whether Bray Wyatt vs. Bobby Lashley will take place at WrestleMania? The match wasn't officially announced before recent reports popped up teasing that Bray could be done with WWE yet again. Everyone's kinda waiting for more info on that situation too.

How mysterious.

Triple H and Vince McMahon might not fancy waiting around on Wyatt though, and it'd be a shame if Lashley missed out on a 'Mania payday just because of circumstances beyond his control. So, what if Austin replaces Bray and acts as a surprise last-minute opponent for Bobby on the grandest stage?

No, it makes bugger all sense from a storyline perspective, but it'd give Lashley something to do at 'Mania and mean he'd still get one of those chunky pay-per-view payoffs. Steve may not be game for effectively being Bray Wyatt's substitute, but the segment could be more of a skit and less of a full match if he preferred that.
