They've teased it on occasion, but it needs to take place: we need to have this 'sister Abigail' introduced. Given the number of ultra-talented pro wrestlers being groomed in NXT, it makes sense for one of them to be taken on in the Wyatt family. In an ideal world, a convincingly over Sister Abigail could reignite the Family, be the catalyst for half of the changes Im suggesting in this article. As far as long term booking plans go, in years to come she could also wrest control of the Family away from Bray, turning him babyface. The two could feud and team over and over, like Triple H and Shawn Michaels - or, more precisely, like Undertaker and Kane. Because thats the brilliant thing about it: Wyatts never talked about Sister Abigail like shes his equal, or like shes less than him. This is his mentor, his mother figure. In their relationship, if hes the Undertaker, shes the Higher Power. My vote would, now and forever, go to Alexa Bliss. Shes been playing a kind of 'glitzy evil fairy cheerleader' character on NXT, and its only the matter of a fresh angle and a change of tack for Alexa Bliss to be revealed as the skin that Sister Abigail was wearing to hide until her moment came to debut. The real life Alexis Kaufman is NXTs secret weapon. She can definitely wrestle, but more importantly her character skills are incredible, and her heel facial expressions are already the best in the business. And shes tiny: a shade over five foot tall, and looks like a deranged pixie. Imagine that standing front and centre with Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper, their demon princess giving the orders and ordering men and women broken into pieces with a gleeful grimace on her face. Its too perfect. The other option would to make Sister Abigail someone we already know on the main roster. In the Attitude Era, it would have been Stephanie McMahon. but that's too Vince Russo these days, and Im not convinced that a swerve is necessary.
