2. Feuding Over God Status

Listening to the announcers explain why Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins are feuding makes you wish for the days when Booker T and Edge battled over a Japanese shampoo commercial.

Bray fancies himself a god; Seth thinks that’s BS. There it is in a nutshell.

But we get an entire feud based around that. The match itself was fine, although not unlike anything we’ve seen before. Both men hit their usual moves, with a couple decent near-falls. In the end, Rollins lost his cool pursuing Wyatt, allowing Bray to use a thumb to the eye (every god’s go-to move) and a Sister Abigail ended his night.

We’ll probably have to endure a rematch to even things out now. The matches will be fine, but it almost would be better if they were fighting simply to become #1 contender or to move up in the rankings for the WWE Universal Championship. It’s infinitely simpler, but it also makes infinite more sense, and the matches would actually mean something.
