7 Ways WWE Can Save Bray Wyatt

7. Turn Him Babyface Because The Crowd Already Likes Him

Wyatt is a lot like Mankind was about two decades ago when he was just starting in WWE. They put him up against some big names with feuds against the likes of The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels in his first year on the WWE roster. Within a couple of years, Mankind was a babyface because people started to like the character so much that they had to turn him. He changed a lot along the way, but the point about liking a character applies to Wyatt. If you only count his run as Wyatt on the main roster, which started about two years ago, he's feuded with some big name guys. The Cena feud last year was huge for him while wrestling Undertaker at WrestleMania this year was also a huge career moment for Wyatt. Look at his entrance. The lights go out and the arena is filled with people holding up their cell phones so they can light it up for him. That's something that could easily be transferred to a babyface performer like Wyatt. The crowd is singing his song, lighting up the arena just like him and supporting him in every way they can. That's not a heel entrance at all. He definitely has potential to be a breakout babyface star. It might be a year or two away, though. They don't need to pull the trigger on it yet, but it's something they know they have in their back pocket.
