10 WWE Superstars With The Most To Gain At WrestleMania 31

5. Bray Wyatt

Since the Bray Wyatt character debuted, fans have been labeling him as one of the future cornerstones of the company. At only 27 years old, he pretty much has his entire future ahead of him, and it has been oh-so-bright at times. In recent months, he has been made to look very strong, in an attempt to build him up for his match with Taker (in the event Taker was fit to wrestle again) or for something else that was special (in the event Taker was not). It isn't hyperbole to say that this is the biggest match of Bray's career. He's had a somewhat spotty record in big-time pay-per-view matches, but this is on a different level. With his momentum, a win over The Undertaker would place him in the mix for the post-Mania WWE World Title picture, especially if Brock Lesnar does leave the company when his contract expires and after Seth Rollins cashes his Money In The Bank shot in. New blood is needed in the title mix, and he could be that new blood. It's worth bringing up the "brass ring" again. Vince McMahon wants to see his younger wrestlers reach for it, and this is Bray's opportunity to do so. A loss here would be another stop in his start-and-stop push, and at some point, that's going to do harm that can't be fixed.
