"Anyone but you, Roman".

After attacking Roman Reigns during the 2015 Money In The Bank match, Bray Wyatt revealed that he couldn't bear to watch Reigns succeed. In other words, he was hooked on the thought of having dominion over Roman's career, and he wasn't going to stand idly by as the ex-Shield man became WWE Champ.

This, arguably (and possibly aside from that brief WWE Title reign in 2017) was the last time Wyatt's character was worth a toss on TV. His usually cryptic, winding and mysterious promos gave way to a much more straightforward approach. Bray, whatever his reasons, wanted to stop Reigns from succeeding.

The feud led to a seriously underrated caged classic at Hell In A Cell, and it also allowed Wyatt to introduce Braun Strowman as his new charge. By being so transfixed on Reigns, the madman exposed that he wasn't necessarily driven by championships - just the power of stopping one man from winning them.
