5. Xavier Woods, Future Wyatt Family Member?

WWE isn’t known for its subtlety, but they’ve done a nice job the last couple weeks in the budding New Day/Wyatt Family feud, having Xavier Woods look like he’s falling under Bray Wyatt’s spell.

Both weeks, Woods has stared off in space at Bray, looking like he wants to join the cult leader. Rather than call a ton of attention to it, the announcers have let it slide, with New Day’s reactions to Xavier blankly wandering off serving as the only real notice to what’s happening. Sure, nothing could come of it, or Woods could snap out of it, but for now, the quiet angle has added some intrigue to this little rivalry.

Is Wyatt seducing Woods to join his flock, or is Xavier playing Bray? We will hopefully see new developments to this angle soon, without the typical WWE overkill.
