10 WWE Stars Already Having A Terrible 2018

4. Bray Wyatt

Different brand or not, Bray Wyatt could give Jinder Mahal a few pointers about what it's like to be stuck in mid card hell. Since 2015, Bray has repeated the same cycle over and over. He interrupts a rival's match/promo/life to remind them he's a "God/Eater Of Worlds", shows up looking creepy, loses to them on pay-per-view and then repeats the sequence with somebody else.

It's slightly worrying that WWE have failed with someone so interesting. His latest feud with Matt Hardy's bizarre TNA rehash is only going to end one way too, and it doesn't favour Wyatt.

Unlike rivalries with Randy Orton, Seth Rollins or Finn Bálor last year, the Hardy feud feels like the kind that will only last a month or so before 'Woken' Matt moves on to other things. That leaves Bray in limbo; we're now at the stage where one of this generation's best characters is being used as cannon fodder for an idea WWE didn't even come up with.
