Bray Wyatt has been continuously misused by WWE creative, but things may be looking up for the "New Face of Fear."
Wyatt and his Wyatt Family stable have been an afterthought recently in the WWE, used mostly to put over other talents. In fact, with less than three weeks until WrestleMania 32 on April 3 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, none of the four members have been announced for the card.
"The Eater of Worlds" is reportedly suffering from a back injury, which may keep him sidelined until after the "Show of Shows," according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer.
Though Wyatt and his brood have been very limited on television, including a shocking loss to Big Show, Kane and Ryback at Fastlane, things could be changing for the better very soon.
"[Wyatt's] supposed to do something with [Brock] Lesnar at some point, he's supposed to do something with Roman Reigns again, they're supposed to go back to that," Meltzer said on his radio show, according to WrestlingInc. "It sounds like Bray is going to be the top heel down the line, and that hasn't changed. It's not like the injury is so big that they have to redo that."
If it proves to be true, that is one spectacular rumor, but one should proceed with caution before believing it.
There were similar reports going around that the WWE had big plans for The Wyatt Family at WrestleMania 32, which included a potential Wyatt-Lesnar showdown and a bout between Braun Strowman and The Undertaker.
The WWE shook things up, opting to have Lesnar battle Dean Ambrose on April 3, while The Undertaker will face Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell. Wyatt was supposed to have his match with Lesnar at Roadblock last weekend, but things were changed and Luke Harper was thrown into the match, likely because of Wyatt's real-life injury.
The leader of The Wyatt Family may very well be going after the WWE World Heavyweight Championship before long as it's likely Reigns will unseat Triple H as champion at WrestleMania 32.
Though there are reportedly plans for Wyatt to be the next top heel, having him go up against the likes of Lesnar and Reigns could spell more losses for the "New Face of Fear," which isn't exactly anything he really needs right now.
