3. The ‘Eater Of Worlds’ Returns

Keep on rocking in the free world, Bray Wyatt.

This was one of the best promos Bray has delivered since returning to the WWE mix. He had his old rocking chair in tow, was on top form, and really seemed to relish diving back into his own archives to relive the 'Eater Of Worlds' days. Of course, this follows hot on the heels of a little glimpse back to The 'Fiend'.

Wyatt soars when he's left to his own devices and is allowed to tell stories. He's one heck of a promo, man, and this was yet more proof of that. Here's hoping this Mountain Dew-sponsored 'Pitch Black' match clicks, because Bray deserves better than his prior run experienced in-ring.

Everyone involved has knocked this one out of the proverbial park. Bray loves his poetic promos, 'Uncle Howdy' has contributed by adding a layer of mystery, and LA Knight has come into his own on the main roster for the first time.

Now, onto the Rumble. Fingers crossed.
