1. Wyatt Could Lose His Mystique
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r38RZnUfYE The worst possible outcome for Bray Wyatt is that he walks out of New Orleans a beaten man. Which is likely. Let's face it, the chances of John Cena losing clean to a relative newcomer at Wrestlemania 30 is slim. The best we can reasonably hope for is Bray wins via shenanigans. It's not ideal, but he'll still be able to turn up to Raw the next day with a sense of authority. Now I know, almost everybody has lost to John over the last decade. It's what you'd expect, he's the most valuable asset in the wrestling industry today. Hate him or not, that's the truth. But I take exception with Bray Wyatt because not only does his character demand he be intimidating, it demands he be nigh unstoppable. It demands him to win things. Ultimately I think WWE realise that The Undertaker and Kane pushing on in years and they need somebody to fill the gothic supervillian gap. Now I know it's way too early to be placing those kind of bets on Wyatt. He might not have the staying power. But if they want any kind of shot of making that happen, they need to take a leap of faith with somebody. Earlier I said I was worried Bray might not be ready for the big time. I still am, but they've already put their chips down. Only time will tell if it was premature. So although I still have reservations about the speed of his push, it's critically important that they maintain it. The stop/start treatment would be a disaster at this stage. A slow burn is out of the question now, if Bray wants a chance of filling those sort of shoes he needs to achieve the impossible: convincingly beat John Cena. It's a long shot I know, but Wrestlemania was built on bold decisions.
