Gather round for a good old sigh, everyone.

Cracks began appearing towards the end of 2022 for Bray Wyatt, being honest. Sh*t really hit the fan with that dreadful Mountain Dew-Branded "Pitch Black" match vs. LA Knight at Royal Rumble though. There, Wyatt ended the night as a neon-soaked version of his old 'Fiend' gimmick. Or, at least, that's what it looked like.

He didn't really go on to do much after that. A mini-feud with Bobby Lashley heading into WrestleMania 39 was called off due to illness. Hopefully, Bray is alright, but his WWE run is surely toast again unless someone in the writing room can pull rabbits from nearby hats. Not rambling rabbits either.

Seriously though, things look grim. WWE has run into the same problems with Wyatt's character they did the last time, and fans have probably lost interest in all this 'Uncle Howdy' business too. It'd take a brave person to predict his year will pick up now.
