WWE: 10 Huge Errors On The Road To WrestleMania 30

8. Booking Cena Against Wyatt When The Dynamics Are So Clearly Wrong

WWE is a fictional narrative, like all drama, it has rules of storytelling it needs to follow. The decision to book Bray Wyatt against John Cena broke all of these rules. You have a good guy hero who has been attacked and targeted by a devious and creepy bad guy. The problem is, the story doesn't make sense, mainly because the characters are so poorly defined. In Bray Wyatt you have a guy who is meant to be bad but constantly acts in a way to get cheers. From saying the name of the respective city in his entrance to his whole ring style, everything he does that is meant to get booed ends up in cheers. He's failing in his job as heel in that respect. You have the opposite problem with Cena, his heroic character ends up loathed as nobody sees him as a sympathetic character anymore. WWE has booked two guys together who have no cohesive character. Who's the heel and who's the face? The other reason this match doesn't add up is the two men are on such different levels. Cena's a huge star. This is perceived as somewhat of a step down for him this year. The biggest error of booking all of this is ultimately going to be the reactions both men get on the night of Mania. Bray is going to be over in the wrong sort of way and WWE's franchise face of the company is going to be awkwardly and embarrassingly booed out of the building by the smart WrestleMania crowd.
