10 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 5)

5. Was That A Face Turn?

Sunday night at WrestleMania, the Rock seemed to hint at the possibility that Bray Wyatt and his family could turn face, pointing out that the fans respond to his antics, but he squanders their allegiance with more mumbo-jumbo. It felt like he was saying that Wyatt could turn face by tweaking his message a little.

So when the Wyatt Family showed up Monday night and assaulted the League of Nations, one might wonder whether that was an actual face turn for them. It certainly wasn€™t for the League, that€™s for sure. But the Wyatts have been stuck in limbo for quite some time now, and after the three of them were decimated by the Rock and John Cena at Mania, then it could be time for a change.

It€™s very possible that this simply was the Wyatt Family beating people up indiscriminately rather than a calculated turn. The Wyatts have attacked faces and heels before, so it€™s not unprecedented. But it€™s worth tracking during the next couple weeks.
