When Bray Wyatt and his loyal followers targeted Brock Lesnar on the January 18 episode of Raw, it appeared as though fans had a clear indication of where those two Superstars were headed on the road to WrestleMania. Their interaction Sunday night only clarified it a bit more. The Beast Incarnate exploded into the match, rapidly eliminating Erick Rowan, then Luke Harper and, finally, Braun Strowman. But before he could continue his tear and capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship he never truly lost at last year's Showcase of the Immortals, Wyatt provided a distraction that allowed his cohorts to enter the ring, beat Lesnar down and toss him over the top rope, much to the dismay of the fans in Orlando. There is no defined foundation for the feud, no reasoning for Wyatt's actions to this point. The events of Sunday's match, at the very least, can serve as a jumping off point for the program going forward.
Erik Beaston is a freelance pro wrestling writer who likes long walks in the park, dandelions and has not quite figured out that this introduction is not for Match.com. He resides in Parts Unknown, where he hosts weekly cookouts with Kane, The Ultimate Warrior, Papa Shango and The Boogeyman. Be jealous.
