1. Wyatt’s Crowning Achievement

A first world title win typically should be a special moment. How it’s done can make it that much more significant.

In Bray Wyatt’s case, his first world title victory came inside the Elimination Chamber Sunday, with the Eater of Worlds pinning both John Cena and AJ Styles. That’s quite the achievement. Wyatt did so cleanly, which made his victory even more impressive. It also was payback in a sense, considering how Cena decidedly won their feud a few years ago.

Wyatt might very well only be holding the title for a few weeks, given that he’s currently set to face Randy Orton at Mania, but his win Sunday still was impressive.
