WrestleMania 30 Results: 10 People Who Will Profit Most

7. Bray Wyatt

He might be too out of shape to get a brilliant fight out of anyone, but the creepy Louisiana native proved exactly why Cena quickly changed his method of attack from cynical mockery ahead of the Main Event to something approaching begrudging respect. Wyatt proved himself a worthy opponent, especially in terms of the drama spots, which quickly offered two irresistibly creepy, and utterly memorable moments from the bearded weirdo, first with Wyatt's invitation to "Be the monster you are, John. Finish me." and then with his "Go to sleep, John." Wyatt has arrived, as if anyone doubted as much, and you should probably bet on him winning a rematch. If the WWE start to explore Cena's commitment to being the all-American, all-vanilla hero, and get Wyatt to have him doubt, or even poison his morality, that would give the heel a further boost, even if it might be a little too popular with crowds to make him a legitimate heel. Cena meanwhile probably wouldn't have seen a dip in his legacy whether he emerged victorious or not, but his position was cemented in a match that was more entertaining for its drama (and for the narrative build up that started back with the Wyatt family's interference with his match at Royal Rumble). He didn't need the victory for his own fans, and it might have been intriguing to see how a defeat would play out, but this felt just about right, even if you will inevitably hear whispers that everyone is done with Cena.
