Time for Wyatt family dominance?

[MERPER]

With the return of Rowan putting their "family" at 4, I feel like it's now or never to give them a push up the ranks. Join them or pay the price through destruction.

In conjunction with this idea, I think it's time to have them start holding championships...

Re-unite Harper and Rowan and have them make a run at New Day or the Dudley Boys for the tag team titles.

Have Bray go after either intercontinental or US (heck, maybe both)...

have Braun go for heavyweight (I realize this will likely garner ridicule, but they are really building him into an absolute force from day 1... he "can't be moved or taken down" and he's so powerful we are supposed to believe just by holding opponents up and lifting them a half-foot off the mat he makes them pass out)...

Personally, I'd start this at Survivor Series with a classic style match vs either "The Authority" or some group of WWE superstars that would signify their dominance...

My whole issue with the Wyatt family is I have no idea what they are even all about. They debuted with this wonderful talker backed up by two huge guys. Well the wonderful talker is now boring as all get out, and his two big guys are now three big guys. Now the lot of them are boring, where Harper and Rowen used to be decent as a tag team.

You rarely if ever hear from anyone else but Bray himself, and he's never shown one iota of taking an interest in any title. Neither have the others, even though Harper did hold the IC title for a couple of weeks.

While I'm not trying to turn this into a Bray Wyatt, here I go ranting away again thread, I'm not sure where they are going as a group. Titles mean nothing to them. They lose every major feud they're in, and most times we have no idea why the feud even started in the first place. Stop trying to convert people, it never works.

What they have to do is go back to square one. Decide once and for all what is the purpose of having these guys together, and stick with it. If it's going after titles, then go after them.

They in my opinion missed a stellar opportunity. Bray goes on endlessly about Sister Abigail. Well what they should have done was bring in a female wrestler, maybe a call up from NXT, or someone completely new. Wyatt could have managed the group, and had Harper, Rowen and the female do his dirty work. You know like all cult leaders do.

You would have had three ready made teams for it. Cesaro/Kidd/Nattie, The Uso's/Naomi and the Wyatt clan. That would have made for some interesting feuds, with Cesaro/Kidd playing a tweener role. But injuries and the absence of a Sister Abigail blow my idea out of the water.

So anyway, make a decision on where the Wyatt's are going. Stop these stupid feuds that start and stop for no reason, and give us the fans some grounds for investing in them. Otherwise I'm not interested.

The Wyatts are never going to be anything special. They had their chance, and it's gone, partly because of WWE and partly because the entire group has no talent. And you actually want to take the greenest of them all, a complete NOBODY, and push him to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? The company would go bankrupt if idiotic ideas like that went through.

 

[MERPER]

^^^ Agree with all of that. Maybe have Paige join them or Bayley?

But your last comment is really what I am getting at. Make a decision on where this is going already and execute. Enough is enough with all the stupid feuds that go nowhere.

Now is the time, with this stable of 4 "dangerous, beastly" figures to push them into a dominating force or it has to end.

The fork in the road has officially been reached now, that's my point.

EDIT: This was meant for Dark Lady.

They are making Braun a monster for a reason, otherwise what would be the point of having him come across as an absolute monster every single match?

Clearly there are major plans for him. He's been far and away the most dominating figure since he began.

I am not saying I agree with this, but why else build him as such?

Again, to my point, either go big with him and the entire family right now or end the debacle it has been for so long.

Now is the time to turn them all into something, if they're ever going to do that.

Jesus they did that with Rusev and look where he is now, getting bitch slapped by Summer Rae.

Strowman is a big lugehead. Doesn't appear to have an original thought, and is told to do whatever Wyatt tells him. Can't see him holding a title. Shit if they won't give it to Reigns, Ambrose or Cesaro giving it to Strowman is a slap to all of us.

 

[ASKane]

They should not expand further, they should dominate with what they have. I would start to put all the gold on them.

1. Have Wyatt feud with Owens and win the IC title

2. Have Strowman answer the US open challenge at HIAC and have him write off Cena as he wins

3. Have Harper and Rowen win the Tag Titles

At Survivor Series have Wyatt Family walk out with all the gold except the WWE and Divas title. It would finally establish them as the dominant force and create a new storyline with people trying and failing to come together to stop them, similar to the original Shield story.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

My biggest problem with them is that they(mostly Bray but in instances more of them) are conveniently there whenever someone needs a storyline just to pass time. When Ambrose was about to beat Rollins, Bray interfered and Ambrose feud started. When Undertaker had nothing better to do on Wrestlemania they had given him Bray in one of the most lamest build up ever where he didnt even bother to show up till Wrestlemania and Wyatt just did his ussual lame cryptic promos that nobody understands. Then Reigns beats him in his third match of the night to qualify for MiTB and when he is about to have the case we get Wyatt interference just because he has beaten him and we need to get Sheamus to case just so he and WWE to not know what they will do with the case till todays day.

See the patern? Whenever they need filler story for someone family is there. Heck, they added Rowan without any story at all probably just because Harper wasnt there and they needed third man. So aside of "insert them almost without any reason in some feud, let them beat wrestler X and then feud with wrestler X for months just because we need something for wrestler X to do as filler story" they dont really do anything at all. And that is how its gona stay until WWE maybe tries something else then just same booking of them.

Oh, and they see just Bray as something special(dunno why, he is boring to me) and he is maybe gona have some better feuds in future. Everyone else is just there to protect him and dont expect them to go anywhere near some major title. Even Bray is far, far away right now from that, as others have pointed, aside of feuding with some random wrestler with boring cryptic promo work, he didnt express a wish to go for anything major.

 

[GeneralKarim]

I think that ship has sailed. The Bray Wyatt experiment has failed sadly. And it's all the fault of the writing and "whoever" gave the OK for each of his storylines. Nonsensical, rushed, lifeless, meaningless is what I would call Bray's feuds. His only decent feud was with Cena ( and the only feud where his mic work was really on point, partly due to him being put against Cena and getting the spotlight due to that ).

The DB feud was ok, partly due to the fact that the crowd didn't respect WWE's decision to turn him heel at all and that made for an awesome turnaround. But still, that feud went nowhere, he beat Bryan, and that was it.

His feuds are just booked in a way that they appear to be just filler feuds, rather than something important happening.

And even that decent feud was bad in the end due to him not being able to beat Cena and looking like a chump in every match they had and then being buried by Cena so he can look strong after Lesnar whooped his ass.

The guy is still young, so he's not done. But they need to come up with something cool for him. And give him time and not rush things, and a reason to attack someone. When the guy has purpose and sense his promos actually are amazing ( see some of his Cena promos on raw and smackdown, one on smackdown was particularly amazing ).

Purpose never hurt anybody. Gives the crowd an idea of what is happening. Rather than just this mindless attacking. I get that he is supposed to be unconventional and a crazy cult leader but this whole random attacking thing is not working.

#GiveBrayAChance should be the next popular hashtag.

 

[kumarjtk]

wwe never handle wyatt family well. When usos are tag champs wyatt family has the opportunity to grab the title. But wwe didnt do that. Even they give bray to us title when sheamus as us champion or ambrose as us champion.
But right now their is no way to bray grab the world title or ic title or or us title. So bray wyatt wait for after wm32. Only chance is tag title when dudley wins the title.

 

[King Patrick Star]

I believe this is all leading to a traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team match. It’ll be…

The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman) and Bo Dallas (just for nod to I. R. S.)
vs.
Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, John Cena, and the New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E)

Does anyone see how odd that looks, but yet could possibly work?? If it is indeed time for the Wyatt Family to finally dominate the WWE and take every Championship, I think the lines up should be like this.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion – Bray Wyatt (he is the leader, so it’s only right)
Intercontinental Champion – Bo Dallas (he is the leader’s brother, and why not??)
United States Champion – Luke Harper (only because he already held the Intercontinental Championship Title)
WWE World Tag Team Champions, the Sheep, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman (fitting name)

Now, of course, they do not have to win all of these Championships, but they should at least contend for them. They could even add a Diva, if they really wanted to.

There have been times this was so, true. Lately, though, they're involved in a definite mission: pushing Roman Reigns. Yes, the Wyatt family's existence is accomplishing more than that, but these guys.....and Bray in particular.....are so adept at working with other talent that they are often used to advance the causes of selected performers, even as the family makes strides of their own.

On the surface, the Roman Reigns-Bray Wyatt feud has gone on a long time, almost exclusively in non-PPV settings.....but did you see Roman on Monday night? I thought he looked so much more effective, so much more polished in his performance......and I believe a lot of it is due to his experiences with the Wyatt family. The company's mission is being accomplished.

Wyatt family dominance? Depends how you look at it. I don't think they need championships; it can be argued they're dominant now because they're on our TV screens every time we turn around.

And again, I can't say enough about Bray as a performer. Despite the role he plays, I'd wager everyone likes working with him; he plays into his opponent's routines and makes them look better, while appearing dangerous himself.

Watched it, it was good. Reigns looks good against multiple opponents due to the fact that people "buy" him as "Juggernaut" aka someone who goes there and wrecks havoc and kickes asses. So that part WWE did good.

 

[ShinChan]

Yeah they have to be booked as dominant faction and also made to start winning more feuds instead of starting any random feud and then losing....

 

[@smarkmouth]

More than dominating and winning, Wyatt needs to be inserted in more cerebral feuds. This feud with Reigns has been pretty good, but it still borderlines on formulaic (with the exception of its beginnings of talking about Reigns' daughter). His absolute best feud, as noted, was with Cena. To Bray, that wasn't about him winning some matches. It was about peeling back the veil of Cena's legacy.

For Wyatt to achieve prominence, he needs feuds of THAT caliber. He needs to have a goal that's bigger than wins or losses, and while that goal can be cryptic, it can't be rambling. Now it seems that his character has a big wheel that he spins to determine his next feud, then he says some generic nonsense. Bray Wyatt is better than that, and he needs better writers to lead his programs.

For Bray Wyatt, I firmly believe that his path to 'dominance' isn't victories or championships. In a world where WWE is the best storytelling that it can be, feuding with Bray Wyatt should change a wrestler. Roman Reigns should leave this program as a different character, or have a new layer to it. Cena could have won matches, but if he had indulged in his 'dark side', Wyatt would have always been the man who brought it out of him.

All that being said, if it lead to Bray & family cutting down everyone in their way, I won't object to that, but I prefer the above.

 

[MWRedskins]

firstly, i doubt the Wyatt's get dominate. i honestly hope for them to get dominant (at least 3 of them) because i am a fan of them. Harper and Rowan are a fine tag team who never should've split from Bray and Bray is an excellent talker and wrestler. he should've had the US title already. what i would do is have Wyatt win the US title. if the rumors are true about Cena taking time off, then what they should do is have him win on Sunday, then the next day have Wyatt answer his challenge and have the rest of the family get involved, then have Wyatt win the title and have Strowman take him out (to write Cena off). as for Harper and Rowan, it seems like WWE is pushing the dudleys, so, they should win the tag team titles and after a short month feud with New Day chasing, then i think Harper and Rowan should attack and win the titles a month later. Harper and Rowan are a fine tag team and should've won the tag team titles multiple times, so i really want to see them winning the tag team titles soon.

Well, the first step is to hopefully, have Bray Wyatt emerge victorious against Reigns and then have the Wyatt Family win a huge Survivor Series match at the SS PPV to signal their intent to dominate.

Essentially, "Follow the Buzzards" should become more than just words but a new and vicious direction for the Family which would see them dominate the WWE landscape from say, the beginning of 2016.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I think it's time the Wyatt Family start attacking everything involving the Authority and get a grey area war starting where they kind of act like faces. They can stay heel but get fan reaction from ruining Triple H, Kane, Rollins , Steph's night week after week until The Authority are forced to back a new Golden Boy to help fight The Wyatt's.

 

[Terry Gyimah]

The Wyatt Family are at full strength, strength in numbers they have an ideal number because they are no longer a trio but now are a quartet and every good stable has a quartet or more and of course you have Bray as the leader, Harper & Rowan as your tag team and Braun as your muscle/enforcer I mean it is time for them to run roughshod on RAW

 

[Terry Gyimah]

The Wyatts I definitely want to see them go after The Authority especially now because every stable that has been on the marquee The Authority went after case in point The Shield and look at what happened to them? The Shield were broken by The Authority but for The Authority they will meet their match in The Wyatt Family

 

[OYDK]

Gotta do something with them. You can't stick these 4 guys together and not have a long-term goal in mind. It's imperative that they jump into something RIGHT after this feud with Roman/Dean/Orton instead of floating around for a month and a half. Knowing the brilliant creative minds behind WWE, I would say that's exactly what's going to happen. I sound like a broken record, but just do something with The Wyatts, Bray specifically. Stop sending him into these inorganic feuds and give him a set role. If he's supposed to be the guy with the mind games, than make him that. If he's supposed to have others do his dirty work than keep him out of the ring.

Right now he's being booked horribly. And people can complain about Wyatt's rambling all they want, this guy deserves to be doing something special and I think everyone knows it. Clamor, clamor, clamor for creativity, and complain when you get a guy full of it.

 

[Terry Gyimah]

I know right because here you have Wyatt leading a stable with 3 other men surrounding himself with monsters and whatever he's preaching they're following I mean you can have the Wyatt Family become as big as The Ministry of Darkness almost

I do hope that is what they have in mind for the Wyatt Family, perhaps post-Mania 32 at the latest, when I hope to see the Authority dethroned due to Rollins or the Rock. Have Bray Wyatt 'take over' the WWE landscape and become the Big Bad in the company as his character has enough layers for that to come off, and it could be the perfect way for the 3 SHIELD guys to become the Top babyfaces therafter...
