10 Ways WWE In 2017 Could Have Been COMPLETELY Different
8. Wyatt Family Values
Bray Wyatt was perhaps beyond saving when WWE finally put their top title on him at the climax of February's Elimination Chamber, but after unexpectedly riding a wave of renewed momentum alongside then-partner Randy Orton, 'The Eater Of Worlds' finally stood a chance of dining at the top table.
Like the bullied child at school, he was yet again left eating worms for attention. Almost literally after 'The Apex Predator' pounded his face into the mat with an RKO before the ten minute mark at WrestleMania 33.
A lengthy run for Wyatt in a similar...vein to the spell Jinder Mahal garnered could have implanted Bray back in an upper echelon he barely flirted with during his best spell with the organisation back in 2014.
Instead, the loss to Orton resulted in him 'getting his win back' in one of the year's biggest shambles before doing his best to end Finn Bálor's career with a pathetically poor series of matches and segments. The feud, much like Wyatt's aura, didn't end. It merely faded away thanks to an inconvenient disease.
When viral meningitis would top a '10 Good Things To Happen To Bray Wyatt In 2017' list (pitch pending), it's time for a career rethink.
