5 Biggest Winners & Losers From WWE SmackDown Live (Oct 11)

3. Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt defeating Randy Orton at No Mercy was a big surprise in itself, but winning twice in a row? Steady on, Bray, you’re starting to take the mick.

They’ve not been clean victories, but they're victories nonetheless, and for a guy with a seemingly incurable losing habit, that means a lot. Bray’s at his best with a competent follower or two by his side, and in Luke Harper, he has just that. Harper’s skill makes him a far more credible sidekick than Erick Rowan, and his presence has aided Wyatt to two consecutive wins over Orton.

Recent weeks have, unfortunately, seen Bray Wyatt at his absolute worst. His promos have once again descended to nonsensical psychobabble, and he came off more like a cheesy B movie villain than a menace in he and Orton’s recent backstage skits. Whether this is down to Wyatt or the writers is up for debate, but he’s lost much of the mystique that made him so special in the first place, and the Draft has done nothing to help in the regard.

Can he make a full recovery? It’s tough to tell, but having him win the odd match certainly helps. Yes, the finish fell flat with the crowd, but last night showed that Wyatt still has a trick or two up his sleeve. He’s going to need to get a clean win over a credible wrestler to really surge back towards full respectability, but for now, Wyatt is in a better place than he was this time last week.
