How WWE Should Bring Back Bray Wyatt

Since taking the reins just before SummerSlam, Triple H has thus far brought back Johnny Gargano, Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross, Hit Row and Dexter Lumis, afforded renewed and committed pushes to Ciampa, Kevin Owens, and the women's division in general and rehabilitated both secondary singles titles.

None of these are explicit clues that pave a direct path to Bray Wyatt, but the fact that these changes have even occurred at such a pace bodes quite well for 'The Eater Of Worlds'.

Merchandise was the easiest objective marker, but anybody that ever swam in social media's murkiest waters could see just how eternally adored Bray was amongst his core supporters. It didn't matter that the booking buried him over and over again, or that more often than not his matches didn't live up to the hype, or that the hype itself was sometimes meaningless trash dressed up in flowery double speak and horror movie cliches. Derisory takes like that one didn't register either - there were plenty out there as lit as Crispy Fiend himself when Wyatt's lobster fingers brought the character back to life after an immolation before his 2022 release.

With the benefit of hindsight, perhaps that's the most enduring and justifiable reason for his return - a lot of fans never gave up on Wyatt even when Vince McMahon consigned him to the trash with as much enthusiasm as Alundra Blayze did the old Women's Championship.

Wyatt as a contemporary Waylon Mercy was doomed from the off after a rancid launch programme against Kane. 'The Eater Of Worlds' was gobbled up by the machine. But is The Fiend beyond saving too?
