He hasn't fully recovered to pre-Cena or Cena feud levels in terms of status though.
Most of the "curse" from feuding with Cena is that those guys rarely get another high profile feud or only got pushed to feed Cena and then quickly tossed away afterwards.

I see where you're going with this but the Ambrose feud wasn't anything great. It was one of those things that sounded great on paper but the execution was blah and it ended with a blowoff match on RAW. It was supposed to reestablish Wyatt as a force, but by that point Ambrose was damaged goods to the point where beating him meant fuck all. Both guys were treading water at that point and needed a win in a feud. Wyatt just hasn't beaten anyone of significance, ever, except for Daniel Bryan. That's not the "New Face of Fear."
Now he's going to be lying down for Reigns. I get that heels need to get their comeuppance but Wyatt never looks strong, he's just a guy who rambles cryptic shit and ruins matches via cheesy special effects.
