It seems odd to see Bray Wyatt getting a hot tag and being cheered like crazy by the fans, but that€™s exactly what happened Monday night, as he was the only person being cheered in the main event alongside Roman Reigns against the League of Nations.

As weird as that might seem, let€™s face it: the Wyatt Family hasn€™t exactly been on a tear as a heel stable. The Wyatts decisively lost a mini-feud to Undertaker and Kane last fall and haven€™t really won a major feud (unless you count the ECW Originals as a major obstacle). The group has been so badly mishandled that the only thing that WWE could do (other than reboot the group and do it right) would be to turn them.

Hopefully, this will either be a slow process or simply a turn toward €œtweener€ status. It€™s hard to imagine Bray Wyatt as a smiling babyface looking to make children happy. But a Bray who targets heels with his antics and forms tenuous alliances with babyfaces might be a bit intriguing.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
