Well, they've only gone and done it.

Hell In A Cell was disaster number one, and now WWE fancy another slice of p*ss-soaked cake to whet their appetites for destruction on a pay-per-view few care about. They've booked Bray Wyatt's thrilling 'Fiend' gimmick into oblivion recently, and any remaining credibility with fans he has will be killed off should he lose to Seth Rollins on Thursday.

Wyatt doesn't need the Universal Title at all, and yet he cannot leave Saudi Arabia without if it he's going to continue being a force on television. There's a very real danger that Bray is about to take a trip back in time to misplaced self-delusions of grandeur from 2017. He was an ineffectual heel back then, and he'd be one now after losing.

The thing is, nobody wins in this "cannot be stopped for any reason" calamity-in-waiting. Seth is less over as a face than he was before this saga, Wyatt doesn't need the title but can't lose, and fans don't particularly want to see more.

Just give Bray the belt and get it over with.
