10 Radical WWE Ideas To Save The Wyatt Family

6. The Family Needs Some Normal Size Members

...but it does need some members under six foot two. Windham Rotunda has often joked about this, when talking to people out of character: he€™s not actually a small man by any stretch of the imagination, he€™s just constantly surrounded by giants. It makes no sense that Bray Wyatt isn€™t looking to expand the ranks of the Family all the time. He€™s a cult leader: if he can only persuade massive backwoods psychopaths to join him, then the implication is that he can€™t be a very good one. Why can't ordinary people join this cult? Daniel Bryan did, at least for the length of a cup of coffee. It makes sense for some lower card wrestlers to join the Wyatt Family, to be given new names and gimmicks - it worked wonders in the Ministry Of Darkness, and revitalised whole careers. Bray could specifically target people in NXT, people whose gimmicks aren€™t properly defined yet, or who aren€™t catching on. Elias Samson€™s €˜drifter€™ gimmick doesn€™t make much sense right now, and he€™s kind of perfect for a role in the Family - similarly, Baron Corbin wouldn€™t need much of a tweak to join the Family. A tag team like Blake and Murphy could use a boost: right now, they don€™t really have any character or definition at all, and the only personality they have is that shown by their manager, Alexa Bliss. The main roster is desperate for a proper tag team division - bring them up and turn them Wyatt. The Wyatt Family line-up shown on television could and should rotate. One week, Bray could hit the ring with Strowman, Blake and Murphy - the next, Harper and Rowan, the next, Samson and Corbin. Give each man a role to play in the stable, a function and a twisted, malevolent personality, and the Wyatt Family could finally become something compelling in WWE storylines and Bray wouldn€™t always look like the smallest guy in the room.
