Bray Wyatt admitted he was disappointed his clash with Brock Lesnar won't occur at WrestleMania 32 -- and rightfully so.
The "Eater of Worlds" was rumored to battle "The Beast" at the biggest show of the year on April 3 at AT&T Stadium in Texas. Somewhere along the line, the WWE changed its plans and The Wyatt Family was almost instantly de-pushed.
Lesnar will instead face Dean Ambrose at the WWE's marquee event, while Wyatt's role at the "Show of Shows" has been undefined thus far.
The Lesnar-Ambrose clash should definitely be an interesting David vs. Goliath matchup, but the WWE has continuously misused The Wyatt Family over the last couple of months.
Wyatt vs. Lesnar will be a solid match this Saturday at Roadblock on the WWE Network live from Toronto, but the WWE squandered a massive opportunity to give Wyatt and his brood a big role at the marquee event. Instead, it appears as though the "New Face of Fear" will absorb yet another big match loss as Lesnar builds momentum for his battle with Ambrose, who faces Triple H on Saturday.
The "Eater of Worlds" revealed he was a bit disappointed that his clash with Lesnar will occur at Roadblock rather than WrestleMania.
"Of course I'd rather do it at WrestleMania," Wyatt told The Philly Voice. "Then again, you don't know what I'm gonna do at WrestleMania. It's still an open-ended game for me. Like I said, to beat Brock Lesnar right before WrestleMania, you should be owed some kind of spot, some kind of high place -- you know, I view myself as a high place player -- I'm a serious player in this game and I intend to keep that."
Wyatt is a serious player, but it's the WWE that hasn't taken him seriously in the last couple of months. The fact that Roadblock takes place just over three weeks before WrestleMania and Wyatt still doesn't have a match speaks volumes.
WrestleMania hasn't been kind to Wyatt as he is 0-2, sustaining high-profile losses to John Cena and then The Undertaker. The Wyatt Family leader appears to be headed for another high-profile defeat on Saturday, but hopefully it guides him to something meaningful for April 3 in Texas.
