10 Reasons Why Bray Wyatt Is WWE’s Worst Modern Creation

9. Endangering Others

Possibly the worst thing about Bray Wyatt is how damaging his presence has been to the wrestlers saddled with him on television.

The dynamic of the Wyatt Family has undergone multiple shifts in the four years Bray and co have allegedly terrorised the main roster's toughest babyfaces. Injuries to Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Bray himself have forced an ever-rotating mishmash of the three (as well as short-term members Braun Strowman and Randy Orton) to keep the gimmick on television even in a diminished capacity.

But when it comes to the Wyatt Family, it's not just the injury bug that bites.

Association with Bray is absolutely toxic. Harper and Rowan have suffered countless beatings from every one of Wyatt's rivals in their position as his idiot goons, and are thus completely hung out to dry the instance he disappears off television. Like battered wives they return upon his reemergence, but the situation never improves.

After an aborted severance in 2014, the most recent split has hamstrung both all over again, with Braun Strowman only managing to achieve a level of success from the moment the 2016 mercifully dragged him from Bray's death clutch.

Returning from injury to Bray's side immediately after WrestleMania, Rowan was pinned on his first night back, whilst Harper faces an uphill climb to present himself as a new babyface threat on the SmackDown Live! midcard.
