7 Best Promos In Wrestling Today
1. Bray Wyatt
From persona non grata to the most hyped member of the WWE roster, Wyatt has experienced a renaissance in 2019. Praised for his sinister, backwoods promos originally, Wyatt fell victim to repetitive and destructive booking. His charisma and good will from fans fell by the wayside as he suffered what amounted to a series of character assassinations.
After a lengthy absence, Wyatt has returned anew with a rebooted character that maintains continuity (something we don’t see enough of these days) with his old self. Towing the line between funny face and horror movie heel, Wyatt has shown some serious acting chops portraying his diverse personas. His Mr Rogers-esque Firefly Funhouse presenter took the wrestling world by storm when it debuted earlier this year. Offbeat and colourful, Wyatt was a breath of fresh air. Since then, he has revealed his Fiend persona, a slasher movie villain on the loose.
Wild and ridiculous in a way only pro wrestling can be, Bray Wyatt’s layered monologues are a gem every week they air. Back on track, a main event push for The Fiend seems likely in the wake of his SummerSlam ring return.
