7 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 1st)
2. The New Face Of Jobbing
Similarly, how do you think Bray Wyatt feels after losing to Roman Reigns in his third match of the night? Two months earlier, Wyatt stood toe-to-toe with the Undertaker, and Monday, he lost fairly clean to a guy beaten up in two prior matches. To top it off, Bray ran into Kane, making him look that much more like a goof in the process. Wyatt was victorious at Payback over Ryback, injuring his ribcage in the process. He then traded wins with Dean Ambrose before taking last week and Elimination Chamber off. He returned to television Monday doing the Authoritys bidding, which was another unusual point for Bray since when did the New Face of Fear run errands for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon? Roman needed to run through three guys per the Authoritys instruction to remain in the Money in the Bank ladder match. And while Reigns is the guy being built up, being that third man defeated by an injured competitor just doesnt look good, especially when Reigns/ Wyatt could be a PPV match sometime down the line.
