Who is Bray Wyatt supposed to feud with now? There is no one left.

[slik]

The only two main-event faces are Daniel Bryan and John Cena. The next closest thing to main-event faces are The Shield. He's feuded with all of these people (also, shame on WWE - Bray should have defeated Cena to help keep him over a legit main-eventer)

Who is he supposed to feud with now? Santino? Sheamus? Adam Rose? Big Show? Fandango? Rey Mysterio? All of the options seem very downhill.

[teamXtremist]

You have to bolieve

[Savio]

ummm RVD?

[slik]

Mark Henry?

[teamXtremist]

Mark Henry?

Henry should be next for rusev

Let bray have jimmy uso

[road doggy dogg]

even though I think he is awful and useless, Bo Dallas could be a good fit bc of their clashing characters or w/e

Bo Dallas is all mad inspirational like some evangelist type and Wyatt is more of a cult leader type feel or w/e

plus they're brothers so there's that

[MoFo]

Goldust would be brilliant in teh Wyatts, creepy 1996 donuts though

[MoFo]

*Goldust, not donuts.

[road doggy dogg]

creepy ass 1996 Atlanta donuts

[Innovator]

For Cena, probably Rusev, so many Putin/POOPTIN jokes he has to make

[Black Widow]

A returning Jericho probably.

[Droford]

Bray will be feuding with the other 5 MITB participants for the next month

[Emperor Smeat]

Rusev if the dirtsheets are actually correct.

The original push for the late Umaga is being used as a template for Rusev's current WWE push.

Mike Johnson at PWInsider is reporting that the WWE have plans to do John Cena vs Rusev pretty soon.

[FourFifty]

Haven't seen Raw yet, so I'm just going to take a shot in the dark....

Cena and Wyatt aren't done yet. While I don't see them at MITB (not unless it's a six man tag, or Cena vs Harper & Rowan) I don't see this feud ending until SummerSlam, in an I Quit match, or HIAC.

[Shadrick]

Cena beats Rusev clean at Summerslam, Rusev tumbles down the card and starts tagging with a languishing midcarder for the rest of his career.


fixed for accuracy.

[Droford]

Rusev will become an American citizen and dump Lana for Zeb Coulter and Jac Swagger as the New Real Americans

[Vastardikai]

Feud with Adam Rose over the soul of Rowan. Adam wants him to be a Rosebud, Bray wants him to follow his path.

Best of all, he keeps the sheep mask regardless of how the feud ends.

What's the latest on Taker's health? If he can go one more match, a Bray-Taker feud would be incredible. They could stretch it out without Taker needing to compete for a while.

I just wish they could have had Bray come out of this Cena feud looking stronger than he did. He had a mystique about him after that clean with over Bryan made him look like a force at the Rumble but it's died out now.

At the house show I went to in May they did Usos vs. The Brotherhood vs. Harper/Rowan. An Uso started body-popping, so Cody responded in kind, Rowan then slid in looking like he was gonna give it a go until Harper came in and pushed him back out of the ring. The dude clearly wants to party.

[Rammsteinmad]

Wyatt didn't really have to go over Cena to get over, working with the top guy should be enough to get his name in the spotlight.

The biggest problem for me is how repetitive Cena's feuds are, in terms of three-month programs.

Month 1 is their initial match which Cena wins. Month 2 there is still steam in the feud so they have a rematch where the heel wins with some kinda swerve/cheat. Month 3 Cena wins and for whatever reason (in kayfabe) this is the definitive win and the feud is finished.

The problem isn't that Wyatt needed a win to get over, Wyatt needs something else to stay over. Because outside of the world title scene, whatever angle Cena is involved with and any other top-level storylines going on (The Shield vs. Evolution), Wyatt now has to go on to feud with someone who isn't quite "on that level".

[Rammsteinmad]

But in all fairness, Wyatt has only really been around for a year or so, so I'd say right now he's doing alright for himself.

please tell me he had the mask on when he did that.

[Cool King]

He'll probably have a short feud with The Big Show, seeing as Big Show isn't really doing anything at the moment.

If not him, then it will probably be either Christian (If he ever returns to action), Cody Rhodes (If he doesn't turn heel) or The Miz (After he's completed filming his movie).

[erickman]

they could just give him time off maby manage the other 2 guys when they try for the tag belts.

<font color=goldenrod>You left off that he'll be a comedy character by WrestleMania 31.</font>

[Ruien]

Hopefully he feuds with Sheamus and then trashes the belt after winning it. Claiming it does nothing but rot the minds of everyone.

[Krispy Night]

I would like to see Bray and Miz feud!!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think Bray should have won at Payback, but not because he "needed to." I just think Wyatt could have gotten the assist and been helped to stand by Harper & Rowan and it would have worked out fine.

Wyatt would then enter the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and Cena would enter too, vowing that he would not let Wyatt win the briefcase and take over the WWE. Regardless of the outcome of that match, an I Quit Match at Battleground would have been a great way to blow things off.

[#1-norm-fan]

How would you end an "I Quit" match between the two though? It's the one match you can't just book on the fly and then worry about the outcome later. You've gotta understand the implications. Either someone's gonna look completely weak or you're gonna have to think of a bullshit non-finish that doesn't leave the crowd feeling ripped off.

I think the way Wyatt beat Bryan at the Rumble was fucking perfect for his character. They could have made a feud with Cena be a main attraction down the road. Instead it kinda seemed like a sub-plot on the show that ended up ruining Wyatt's momentum and making him seem like just another replaceable uppercard heel.

As it stands now, any face going up against him does not seem to really be in much danger. And that's a problem. The Royal Rumble should have been the catalyst for Bray Wyatt being someone to fear. He seems more mortal now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've thought about the ending, but I'm not sure you would like it.

If Daniel Bryan had been able to face Kane at Payback, a Last Man Standing Match between the two seemed to fit, which is where I initially would have done the I Quit Match between Cena and Wyatt. The two would beat the crap out of each other, but at some point, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan come out and try to take out Cena, but are eventually taken out and put through tables or something. In the chaos, Wyatt has his hands on Little Johnny -- the boy who cost Cena the Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules. Bray hides behind the child and implies he is about to do something sinister to him. Cena quits the match to save the child.

Is this a bit of a non-finish. Sure. But Bray Wyatt would take it as the biggest victory ever. He made Cena go against his mantra. He proved it was all Hollywood smoke and mirrors. Perhaps Cena would even doubt himself after that? He did the right thing, but does he still believe in himself? It would have also had fit the "Bray Wyatt isn't actually a hero" tones Cena's character was trying to add to the feud at the time.

There are other options though:

* The Stone Cold/Bret Hart ending, where Cena is awarded the match, because it is obvious that Bray Wyatt is not going to quit. Cena leaves Wyatt a broken pulp and is awarded the match, but the victory seems very hollow.

* An inverse Stone Cold/Bret Hart ending, where Cena himself quits because he can't bring himself to do any more damage to the cackling and willing Bray. He reels himself in at the last second and actually credits his humanity that he lost the match. A Joker/Batman Dark Knight ending, if you will.

* Bray Wyatt actually goes to such insane lengths that Cena cleanly gives up, leading to almost as big a shock as Brock Lesnar pinning The Undertaker. If Cena is going to move out of the spotlight of being the absolute top guy, then him passing the torch to a new villain like that would be pretty tremendous of him.

[#1-norm-fan]

I remember wanting the WrestleMania match to end with Cena locking in the STFU for a really long time and Wyatt laughing like a madman and saying something creepy to Cena while the camera is close enough to pick it up like "See you in your dreams, John." and then passing out with a smile across his face as the ref calls for the bell and Cena stands up just staring down at him with an uneasy look unable to even celebrate winning the match.

It's a twist on the Austin/Hart ending but it would do wonders as far as driving home what a sick, demented fuck the character is.

[Krispy Night]

I think it would be sweet if Flair managed Miz and we got dueling Flair/Bray Wyatt promos.

That's exactly how I expected the LMS match to end.
