What If WWE Booked Bray Wyatt Correctly?

Bray Wyatt is the key to the WWE avoiding booking issues and putting out a better product over the past few years.  I figured it out the other day.  If the WWE would have just kept him on a collision course with the Undertaker for WM30, a whole lot of things would have went a lot better and made more sense and drew more money.  Here's how it goes.

So Wyatt debuts and beats Kane, which has everyone believing his long term target is the Undertaker.  The WWE only has Wyatt wrestle on PPV's and he wins match after and keeps cutting rocking chair promos in the ring making suggesting about the Undertaker, but never saying his name.

Wyatt is entered in the 2014 Royal Rumble and about half way through the match his number comes up.  He clears the ring with the help of Harper and Rowan.  He takes the mic and announces he's not after the WWE Title for now, but something bigger and more important instead.  He then leaves the ring and eliminates himself, but at the same time making a statement.

The next night on Raw he finally directly calls out the Undertaker.  Since he has teased it so long the crowd eats it up.  The Taker doesn't respond, but hints are dropped over the next few weeks that he will respond at the Elimination Chamber PPV.  At some point during that PPV the place goes dark and the Druids come out for a massive entrance, but instead of the Undertaker Wyatt comes out and in a very strong show of dominance proclaims the Undertaker is afraid of him and has let down all the sheep that make up the WWE Universe.

The next night on Raw the Taker comes back.  The match is made.  The most important thing here is the WWE puts over the idea that Bray will be getting this win and becoming the new face of fear by ending the Streak.  They even suggest that his could possibly be it for the Taker.  The WWE could leak this out through the dirt sheets and wrestling news sites.  It would create a more viable perception that Bray's going to win.  The two have an epic match at WM30, but the Undertaker narrowly wins.

Following that match Bray goes away from TV for a few months so he can re-emerge as dangerous as ever. When you have been built up so well and have such a great gimmick a loss to the Undertaker at Wrestlemania will not hurt you that much.  If anything fans will fear you more for taking him to the limit. 

Lesnar and Cena would not have opponents in this scenario for WM30, so they are pitted against each other with Lesnar seeking retribution for his 2013 Extreme Rules loss.  

Lesnar beats Cena badly similar to the way that he did in reality at Summerslam 2014.  Lesnar is then positioned to take on Bryan at Summerslam.  As we all know Bryan gets hurt, but you don't know that just like they didn't at the time.  So Cena gets subbed in and the spin here is Cena won't lose to Lesnar twice and the WWE won't put the title on Lesnar because he's part time.  You leak that to every dirt sheet and wrestling site you can so the perception is that Cena's going to win.

During that match Cena looks like he's going to overcome Lesnar who destroyed him at WM30, but out from the back pops HHH.  He costs Cena the match putting the belt on Lesnar.  Now we have a better setup for the Survivor Series match.  Cena has a more legit reason to want the Authority gone.  Lesnar does not defend his title at Night of Champions.  He instead takes on a different pushed baby face at Survivor Series.  He wins of course and that keeps the WWE from falling so flat at the end of 2014.  That Survivor Series PPV is made better with Brock on it and there is not a huge gap between is matches like there was in reality.  NOC is a terrible PPV anyway.

Lesnar then goes on to defend the title against Cena and Rollins at the Rumble, but retains the strap and we get the same match they really had.  The Rumble takes place.  The WWE is reluctant to put over Bryan do to injury concerns, and Roman is not ready.  So entrant #30 is the Undertaker.  He enters and cleans house winning the Rumble and challenging Lesnar at WM31.  The wrestling world goes bat shit crazy.  

The WWE takes advantage of the hype created by their UFC shouting match and plays up the idea that the Undertaker and Brock is a dream match of sorts.  The world has to try to determine if the Streak will end, which seems way more plausible since the Taker is near the end and the title is on the line, but at the same time this is the Streak.  How could it end here?  

Part of the problem with the actual WM30 match between the Undertaker and Lesnar was the match seemed to be business as usual.  The Taker was going to win and the Streak would go on.  Having people really questioning the outcome would add so much more to the match.

So in my dream world Lesnar does win ending the Streak and retaining the title.  The Taker retires the following year at WM32 after taking on Sting in a dream match that's well received.  Also Sting doesn't lose to HHH and wins a few match along the way bolster some of the B PPVs that don't have Lesnar.  Imagine if Sting had beaten HHH and the fans clamored for him.  A few matches here an there would probably make some PPV's more excited, but HHH didn't see it that way apparently.

In this world the WWE gets more value out of the streak.  Bray Wyatt gets way more protection and re-emerges in 2014 as a stronger heel.  Cena stays as strong as he was after all this happened to him.  HHH and Cena have way more of a legit beef.  Lesnar comes out of WM31 as an absolute monster with the title.  He defends it against Dean Ambrose at MITB in June and then Roman Reigns at Summerslam.

Maybe he loses it to Reigns there because in this world the 2015 Rumble debacle hasn't happened and the WWE is free to push and build Roman for another 7 months.  He gains popularity with the fans by dismantling the Authority a piece at time.  Dean Ambrose can win the MITB briefcase off Seth at WM31 and use it to get his match at MITB 2015, just cashing in under the wire.

So all this was possible if the WWE would have just stayed the course and went with Bray Wyatt versus the Undertaker at WM30.  Hey next time maybe I'll mix in some CM Punk doesn't leave in January 2014 stuff.  That will really mess with your head.
