WWE: 5 Signs That Bray Wyatt Is The Next Undertaker

With the mighty Undertaker closing out his career soon the WWE needs a new Big Evil, and The Eater of Worlds Bray Wyatt is perfectly positioned to follow in ominous footsteps of The Deadman and scare the living daylights out of superstars for years to come. While at the moment it€™s difficult to ascertain whether The Authority is into pushing Wyatt to main event status on a regular basis, due to his cult popularity and (probably) his lineage (his dad is IRS and his uncles are Kendall and Barry Windham) all the initial signs point to a big€YES! With a potential Mania-focused feud with John Cena around the corner (following credible wins against the likes of Kane and Daniel Bryan), we could see Wyatt€™s cult status skyrocket over 2014 and beyond. While we acknowledge that Undertaker's phenomenal Streak can never and will never be repeated or bested, we certainly see a few World Championships in the future for Wyatt, and if he keeps his "dark and creepy" gimmick, and evolves it, his promos and in-ring dominance will intimidate all manner of competitors, and in-turn become the stuff of legends. Here, we look at five similarities between the two competitors that will help Bray Wyatt achieve success.

5. The Moves

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNjbNbIE7xA Bray Wyatt and Taker have a similarly diverse move-set, and while Wyatt isn't quite as agile, the impact moves he has mastered are equally as inventive €” for an answer to The Deadman's old-school flying armbreaker from the third rope, Bray has that running cross body that literally bulldozes opponents. For Taker's powerful chokeslam, Wyatt has the Swine Intervention senton drop that will eventually be the perfect signature for fans to cheer for leading them up to a Sister Abigail. On that note, Abigail seems that it could become the perfect answer for the Tombstone. While that modified piledriver is potentially the most recognised and iconic move in wrestling history, the Sister Abigail, (along with Bray's menacing theatrics before he strikes) could one day be just as important and scary. It's probably even worth referencing the athletes' taunts here too. For Undertaker's throat-cut hand motion that almost always signals a definite end for opponents, there's Wyatt's weird spider crab...thing (see above). Okay there's a strange contrast to draw; the throat slice has always been an intense sign of aggression, whereas the crab for most is just plain weird. Give it time, though. Young fans particularly will be creeped out for years to come by Wyatt's completely unique way of intimidating his adversaries. To be fair though, we wouldn't be surprised to see many fans imitating it on YouTube clips, and the crab popping up on t-shirts in years to come. The WWE hasn't seen a bigger man move as well as The Undertaker in a long time, but Wyatt could be as close as we're going to get to such an intimidating collection of hard-hitting moves.
