7 Ups And 10 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 29th)

5. Bray Throws Hands

After weeks of watching Bray Wyatt playing mind games with Roman Reigns, it was good to see him physically mix it up with the juggernaut. The backstage vignettes and promos €“ creepy rocking chairs, tea parties and photos with Roman€™s eyes and mouth cut out €“ can only go so far in a feud like this. You€™re going to need more to sell fans. Wyatt had to get physical at some point, and this was as good of a time as any. The concern was that WWE was treading down the road toward involving Reigns€™ daughter in person as part of a psychological ploy €“ and it still could happen. But having Bray appear out of the darkness to assault Reigns is a better angle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRo55Oa6fBc It€™s pretty obvious that Roman is going to triumph in this angle overall, but that doesn€™t mean that Wyatt can€™t mentally and physically torment him in the interim.
