3 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE Raw After WrestleMania 37

2. Jumping The Shark On Two Fronts

As if The Fiend and Alexa Bliss’ shtick hadn’t already worn thin, it looks like now we have to endure two separate acts that have jumped the shark at the same time.

Bliss gave a promo talking about how the darkness saved her, but it turned out that she didn’t need the darkness after all, and that it was holding her back. She then said she had unlocked something “truly evil” – a doll named Lily.

Later, Bray Wyatt returned with the Firefly Funhouse and talked about how he would be fine with a new start, and possibly a “new me.” Bray said he felt reborn, and then launched into a sermon like a bad televangelist.

And if that’s the new evolution of the Wyatt character, then the wheels really have fallen off.
