5. Emerging Chemistry

Man, Bray Wyatt and LA Knight even have chemistry when they're merely talking about one another and not on the same screen. The whole rivalry is making LA seem like a bigger deal to WWE's casual fanbase, and that's a real positive. Plus, he's getting house room to do what he does best: Promo.

There was nothing earth-shattering from Bray this week, but his own promo was solid and the surprising dynamic he shares with Knight is enjoyable to see play out. This week, WWE managed to incorporate more 'Uncle Howdy' stuff, stick in a 'Fiend' mention and tie LA into the tale too.

Good work.

You know what's coming next here, don't you? Wyatt will agree to wrestle Knight, and be totally in over his head until he drinks some of the Kool-Aid 'Howdy' is offering - y'know, just enough to regain a bit of his anger and slap the ex-Maximum Male Models leader down.
