10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Bray Wyatt
9. That Horrendous Customised Belt
This article will dart around the place chronologically, but that'll conveniently portray the often-erratic booking style WWE deployed for Bray. Sometimes, it was like they were deliberately trying to harpoon his momentum or turn his genius 'Fiend' offshoot into a running joke that could've gain any steam.
Case in point: Bray's customised Universal Title from late-2019.
WWE debuted it shortly after Wyatt bagged the title at Crown Jewel that year. The custom prize, some reasoned, would hark back to greats like Austin's 'Smoking Skull' or even Daniel Bryan's eco-friendly championship. Instead, it came out as a wonky photoshop job stretched over some leather.
It might be the worst custom title for any wrestler ever.
Literally everything about The 'Fiend', from his mask and music to his creepy beheaded lantern and carnival-esque outfit, was cool as hell. Then, they dropped this customised calamity onto the market like Bray had visited Boots for some photo prints on his way home from Saudi Arabia.
