10 WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2019 Impulse Reactions

5. Bray Wyatt Vs. The Miz

A dogsh*t match overwhelmed by dogsh*t logic, this match can do one and never be spoken of, quite frankly.

What is Bray Wyatt this week? Or at least this version of him? He's over, fortunately enough, because if he wasn't this would be cut adrift as one of the worst pay-per-view title matches of the year. Maybe it still even is? As Bray and not The Fiend, he's a guy that's walked out of a metaphysical world into a real one and can't believe he's there. He gets cheered and takes photos and gets chants.

But because this gimmick makes no sense anymore, this same man literally invaded a child's bedroom last week and attacked the Father for trying to defend his family the week before. No wonder the Father is so angry, but then no wonder the fans don't know what to do when the Father tries to take angry revenge.

A tonal and total mess then, made no better by Bray nailing a couple of Sister Abigails in six minutes for the win before the big angle at the end. The villain wins, the hero didn't look like a hero nor was he received as one because the roles were so ill-thought-out.

Your writer is a lifetime Miz apologist, but he wasn't the man to try and make sense of all this. He came out of hiding after the fact...
