10 Reasons WWE Needs To Shoot A Quick Face Turn On Bray Wyatt

1. The Fans Already Want To Cheer Him

Let's face it: Bray Wyatt is barely a heel as it is. His intro gets a huge pop, his entrance has the entire audience participating and his matches often feature sing-a-longs of "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands". Part of the reason why the segments with The Shield drew such great reactions is because it was six guys who the fans were all into, getting ready to lock horns. Bray was the de facto face in the John Cena feud, since the majority of fans would cheer ISIS over the WWE's posterboy, and Chris Jericho, who's beloved by both casual and smart fans alike, even drew mixed reactions when facing Wyatt. The best face turns are those that feature heels who the audience has been desperately clamoring to cheer. Think back to Roddy Piper, Randy Savage and Nikita Koloff. These turns worked so well because these guys were already mega-over and viewed as huge stars, and once the company gave fans a reason to cheer them it was all systems go. Hopefully WWE will realize the situation they have on their hands and make the necessary adjustments to get his career back on track. Wyatt is a performer who should be a huge star for them for years to come, but he's currently spinning his wheels. He's far too talented and valuable to the promotion to continue down the road he's currently on. It leads nowhere profitable for anyone involved.
