How do you f*ck Bray Wyatt up more than he's already been f*cked up?

This is a man booked with supernatural powers, but the crippling inability to use them to any notable effect - WWE's very own victim of botched penis enlargement surgery. He's feuded with several top WWE names - John Cena, the Undertaker, Roman Reigns - and lost, conclusively, to every one of them. These losses dented his aura, but fans still clung to the promise of the character, if not the terrible execution. That's why WWE perceived him as a credible choice of WWE Heavyweight champion ahead of WrestleMania 33 - at which he lost the title, since that is what he does. It's almost as if projecting maggots and bugs onto the canvas was meaningless production fluff designed to create a manufactured 'Mania moment.

WWE, if rumours are to be believed, are set to answer the lead-in question with a resounding "dress up him in bloody drag and be done with it." Yes, Bray Wyatt is set to reveal himself as Sister Abigail.

It was only a matter of time, when you think about it. Wyatt has made a career ripping off horror flick iconography. His nickname was ripped from Stephen King's IT. He once wore a smock, à la Leatherface. His spider walk is culled from the Exorcist. And now he's going full Norman Bates. Watch out, JoJo.

The prospect of his ring gear alone is already the best thing to look forward to for the remainder of the year - outside of NXT, anyway...
