4. "I've Just Endorsed You. Do Not F*ck This Up."

Bray Wyatt responds to the Undertaker's words in a state of near-reverence. He either performed his subtle role very well indeed, or had no idea what 'Taker was actually going to say to him. He really did seem taken aback.

Watch 'Taker's face closely.

He was hardly going to slap him on the back with a big massive grin on his face. It wouldn't be in character. However, there might be something else, other than 'Taker's generally miserable and boring disposition, in the look he cast towards Wyatt.

He looks at Wyatt, in the frame grabbed above, with something close to contempt. He looks like Wyatt as though he's a piece of sh*t.

Was this a shoot?

Was he saying something less like "I respect you and thus you are endorsed as the next supernatural guy" and something more like "You've failed so often at this that it's weird you're still here. It's almost like people begging for Papa Shango to come back in 1999, if you think about it."

Was this endorsement laced with a bit of tough love?

Looking at 'Taker's facial expression, very possibly: he seemed to be saying "Don't f*ck it up this time, Bray."
