No one can come up with a good reason for why the Wyatt Family disbanded last year. It just seemingly came out of nowhere and turned a solid upper mid-card act into three wandering wrestlers. Then just as inexplicably, the band got back together and turned into the new JOB Squad. The Wyatts reunited this summer to battle Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose in a rivalry that Reigns won handily at Hell in a Cell by defeating Bray Wyatt. Just as quickly, the Wyatt Family turned its attention to the Undertaker and Kane, and fans thought that maybe things would be different this time, that perhaps WWE was going to have the Brothers of Destruction give the rub to the next generation of creepy heels. The only rub Taker and Kane gave them was rubbing their faces in the mat as they ran right through all four of them, winning a tag match at Survivor Series. Now, the Wyatts close out 2015 feuding with the Dudley Boyz and other ECW originals, a rivalry that could have been cool if it was done when the Dudleys first returned and were fresh, but now is just a solid, if unspectacular, program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLue0mcHFp8 The Wyatt Family should be a top-flight heel act people want to see, but instead, theyre the guys with the cool entrance who always get beat in the end.
