F*ck off.

One can almost hear people muttering that to themselves upon reading the sub-heading above. Why would WWE clip the wings off Bray Wyatt's 'Fiend' so mercilessly during the most lucrative period of the year? Well, they might not be able to resist the shock value. Nobody would see this one coming.

Everyone expects Wyatt's alter ego to retain the Universal Title against Bryan and send him tumbling back down to the midcard before 'Mania. That could happen, no doubt, and yet it's hardly the only option open to WWE creative. They might decide that Wyatt is more effective in the role of hunter than hunted.

Admittedly, it'll be a shock if WWE insiders are even discussing the possibility of this. That doesn't mean it's impossible though. Bray has been let down badly before, so who's to say with 100% confidence that his creative energy won't spiral into chaos yet again?
