5. The Wyatts Need To Be WWE's Most Sinister Faction
Right now, we keep being told that the Wyatt Family are terrifying, sinister and evil, in a spooky, occult way. Were just not being shown that a whole lot in their storylines on television. When they faced off against Kane and the Undertaker, there was an opportunity wasted. Rather than just position Bray as the latest wrestler to face the Dead Man, or as the man who would be fed to him as his 25th Anniversary opponent, there was the opportunity to elevate the whole Wyatt concept, to create an equivalent to the Ministry of Darkness for the 21st century. With a large Family, Bray could be involved in two different storylines a week if need be. His actions and decisions could affect more than just the lives of whichever wrestler hes programmed with at that specific moment: he and his Family could actually begin to have an effect on the WWE as a whole. The rotating line-up of the Family would all get TV time, and it would add to the sense that the family is everywhere, can indoctrinate anyone - is actually a threat, rather than just another group of wrestlers. Fundamentally, Bray Wyatt is whispering about the apocalypse: its time he put his money where his mouth is, stop whispering and start screaming. Lets see some end of the world action, and lets see the Wyatt Family start to be scary because theyre scary, not just because theyre big and beardy.
