About damn time. The most original and unique character in WWE over the past decade has finally become the WWE World Champion. Bray Wyatt winning tonight means that WWE is finally going “all in” on a Wyatt Family feud, which is overdue. They needed an established Randy Orton to make it feel more important, I assume. Let’s talk about the chamber match first.
The new chamber is much better, even though the “steel grates” on the outside and now hardened flooring you would originally see outside of the ring. The pods are updated with more space to work on top, better lighting and material and more interesting opportunities. I really think it looked and felt more intense and more unpredictable. As for the eliminations, I was surprised to see Corbin go easily into the wind, but love the idea of an Ambrose vs. Corbin match at WrestleMania. The Miz did his usual, but an AA took him out. When it came down to Styles vs. Cena vs. Wyatt, I was nervous. I was not sure WWE would go through with it, two weeks after Cena won the title. They did and eliminated John Cena before AJ Styles. This shows you that they are no longer afraid of shying away from other talent shining in the final moments. Bray Wyatt and Sister Abigail ended the night for Styles, after an excellent 34 minutes of action.
Bray vs. Randy. Wyatt Family in the championship match at WrestleMania. As a fan of fresh and different, I certainly can get into this championship feud and contest. We have just under 7 weeks to accomplish this feud as something special. Now is the time, three years overdue, for Wyatt to shine.
