Assessing Future Of 10 WWE Stars Who Didn’t Make Royal Rumble 2019 Cut

It should be WWE shouting, "Run" at Bray Wyatt, not the other way around. Then, when they do, he should ask, "How fast?". The company have dicked around with Wyatt's character so much over the years that he feels washed up when he shouldn't too, and he's probably desperate for any kind of spotlight right now.

If online rumours about why Erick Rowan hooked up with Daniel Bryan at the Rumble are to be believed, he'll soon get some more time in the limelight.

Bray fanned the flames of those rumours by tweeting out some more cryptic mumbo jumbo on Monday morning. First, he replied to Xavier Woods posting a picture of Bryan dressed as a Wyatt Family member, then responded with a quick, "Near time" to one fan's tweet asking when he'll launch a comeback.

When he does return, Wyatt will most likely hit SmackDown for a feud with Daniel Bryan or lead his own group against the WWE Champ and ex-disciple Rowan. If it was up to this guy, he'd also have some involvement with SAnitY.

It's not like they're doing anything else anyway.
