The WOKEN Matt Hardy Vs. Bray Wyatt feud has flattered to deceive thus far. It's almost the worst of WWE neatly packaged in one trilogy.

Hardy and Wyatt have traded wins across RAW25 and Elimination Chamber in tedious matches. 50/50 booking.

WWE has presented an outside creation with little of what made him so great. WWE only books their guys correctly.

Bray Wyatt is involved. Bray Wyatt.

But, at WrestleMania, the mailed-in demon that is Bray Wyatt is finally set to deliv-ah. Or on RAW. On this week's RAW, Hardy challenged Wyatt to Ultimate Deletion on the Hardy Compound, in the process promising Vanguard 1 and, here's hoping, Señor Benjamin, Reby, Jeff, the reincarnated spirit of Smokin' Joe Frazier inside a kangaroo. In short, WWE is going to do something amazing involving a creation of Impact Wrestling. And, if Bray Wyatt plunges Wyatt in the lake of reincarnation, we might do away with him once and for all. Husky Harris is a better character at this point. Imagine, in 2013, Matt Hardy stealing two 'Mania moments in consecutive years. That is a mental thought.

On the evidence of Wyatt's RAW match with Rhyno, he needs something interesting. His new psychological trick is to sort of act a bit mental, crawl underneath the bottom rope, drape his back across the apron, and smile at whomever is at ringside. This is about as terrifying as it reads, and Wyatt didn't help his cause by almost getting his head stuck, the absolute catastrophe.
