The WORST Wrestling Moment Every Year (1989 - 2025)
12. 2014 | Dean Ambrose Monitors The Situation
Bray Wyatt, originally, was a creepy dude from the backwoods with a mind so brilliant that he could control two monsters to use as his personal instruments of destruction.
On the main roster, he was reduced to “spooky guy”, and in time developed the same naff supernatural powers as Kane and the Undertaker. To Vince, it’s all the same thing, isn’t it? There’s no psychological angle to play with here. That would get in the way of terrible practical effects.
At Hell In A Cell, Dean Ambrose lost to Seth Rollins when Bray Wyatt, conjuring an apparition of Sister Abigail from his lantern, distracted Ambrose - leading to a woeful programme between the two men. Wyatt won it when, during the main event of Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, Ambrose grabbed a monitor. He intended to use it as a weapon before realising the cable was too short. In the process of trying to detach it, the monitor exploded in his face, leading to his defeat.
Remember that time in Nightmare On Elm Street, when Freddy Krueger just stood idly by as a horde of idiot teenagers died accidental deaths?
The absolute most generous reading of this finish, one some lunatic has probably dreamed up on Reddit, is that Wyatt used his indeterminate magic powers to engineer some sort of ‘Final Destination’-style scenario, destroying Moxley by causing some dangerous mishap.
Another, more accurate reading of the finish is that Vince McMahon had absolutely lost his mind and enjoyed ridiculing his babyfaces for sport.
