It seems like light years ago now, but it was Bray Wyatt and the members of The Wyatt Family who interfered to eliminate Brock Lesnar from the 2016 Royal Rumble. Wyatt and Lesnar seemed on course to meet at WrestleMania 32, but a mixture of injuries and backstage worry saw the plan nixed. The feud was seemingly blown off at WWE Roadblock, when Lesnar defeated Wyatt and Luke Harper in a handicap match that was ostensibly a singles match between Harper and Lesnar.

Wyatt's stock has risen and fallen in the 16 months since, but reigniting his issues with Lesnar could go a long way to fixing some of the damage. It was never truly clear why Bray and his henchmen decided to focus on Brock, and a true explanation would be good to hear. Sure, WWE isn't exactly renowned for its dedication to continuity, but it would be too obvious to ignore here.

The Bray Wyatt/Brock Lesnar feud of 2016 ended before it began, and the summer months of 2017 represent the perfect time to resurrect the beef and give it a satisfying conclusion.
