Welcome back to wrestling world!
Today we got some big developments to dive into with the new Wyatt Family storyline and
some issues with Mickie James, so let’s get into it
We just saw what seems to be a huge development in Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss’ story
We know that WWE teased The Fiend vs Roman Reigns a few weeks back, but obviously that’s
not happening anytime soon
That was just a small teaser for a feud that we can see way down the line around next year’s
Wrestlemania, so hopefully you didn’t get your hopes up to see that matchup right away
Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt are on a collision course and will meet again down the line,
but for the time being, they are doing completely separate things
Bray Wyatt has now turned his attention to Kevin Owens and this has fans talking and
speculating
Based off the events from Smackdown, it seems like The Fiend not only wanted to defeat Kevin
Owens, but it seems like The Fiend and Alexa Bliss are recruiting him to join the family
That concept really didn’t hit me until WWE really pushed the idea to us on Smackdown
First major clue is Alexa Bliss and Kevin Owens short segment backstage
We see Owens getting ready for the match and Alexa Bliss walks up to him and says “Let
Him In”
Alexa wasn’t saying that just because it’s Bray Wyatt’s catchphrase, it seems like
Alexa Bliss had a lot of meaning behind those three words
She was basically telling Kevin Owens to let The Fiend take over, let Bray Wyatt cleanse
him the same way he cleansed Alexa
To just stop fighting it and let The Fiend basically do to him what he did to Alexa Bliss
That’s how I understood the short interaction between Alexa Bliss and Kevin Owens
This idea gets thrown to us again during the closing moments of Smackdown
The Fiend picks up the win over Kevin Owens and meets Alexa Bliss at the ramp, they both
glance over at Kevin Owens and the camera cuts to Kevin Owens laid out in the ring
And that look by Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss alone just told the entire story
It looks like they aren’t done with Kevin Owens quite yet and they legitimately want
him to join them
This is being recorded before the second night of the WWE Draft, so I don’t know where
Bliss, Wyatt, and Owens are getting drafted to yet, but I would expect them to all stay
on the same show together
There’s rumors that Bray Wyatt is heading back to Raw, so Alexa and Owens will likely
follow him as well to continue this story
You also have to remember that this was The Fiend’s first match on either Smackdown
or Raw, he previously only competed at big events
So the fact that WWE had him compete on Smackdown for the first time ever tells me that it was
done for the story and there’s a big purpose behind it
That purpose behind the match being that Kevin Owens will fall victim to the Fiend’s effect
and possibly suffer the same fate as Alexa Bliss
It’s a bit hectic that you have to change everyone that encounters The Fiend, but that’s
just who the character is and what makes him so special
Everyone he encounters has to change in some way.
Kevin Owens has now had non stop interactions with The Fiend and Bray Wyatt for multiple
weeks in a row, so following that same rule of the character, Kevin Owens has to change
in some way now
Owen’s change could possibly end with him joining the new Wyatt family
I honestly love the idea of Kevin Owens joining the group.
I know there’s a lot of fans out there that don’t like the idea of superstars joining
The Fiend because you’re basically erasing their previous identity and personas, and
that’s true, I agree with that
But Kevin Owens hasn’t done much in a long time, he’s kind of been lost in the shuffle
over the last few months, so why not have him join The Fiend and give him something
big to do
This will really establish the new Wyatt family in a major way
The new Wyatt family has been a popular discussion all year long
Earlier this year, I mentioned how 4 members would be perfect for the new family
The Fiend gets his male partner in the group, which we now know is Kevin Owens
And Alexa Bliss gets another woman to join the group as well to be her partner
That woman could be someone like Nikki Cross.
Someone that Alexa still has feelings for and maybe Alexa convinces The Fiend to turn
Nikki Cross too
Now you have a scary group forming right there.
Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt as your leads, Kevin Owens and Nikki Cross as your followers.
I absolutely love that idea, that group could be right up there with Retribution and The
Hurt Business
We’re seeing more 4 and 5 member groups in WWE, so why not add another group with
this new Wyatt family?
This story continues to be amazing.
We’ll see how they’re able to convert Kevin Owens and if they will target a woman
after they’re done with Owens
But this story gets 5 stars from me right now just based off the potential alone, but
we’ll see how it unfolds
———————————————-
Mickie James is one of the veterans in the women’s locker-room, but she’s proved
time and time again that she can still compete with the best young talent on the roster
Mickie James was previously very vocal about how she wasn’t being used
This led to her returning and getting a title match against Aus-ka, but after a weird finish
to the match, Mickie James disappeared again
Mickie James recently revealed the surprising news that she suffered a broken nose and will
miss several weeks
Mickie James was also furious with the fact that she went undrafted during the first night
of draft
I wanted to talk about this because I think Mickie James makes a good point and really
exposes a flaw to the WWE Draft
Mickie had this to say:
“A little WWE Free Agent Fun Fact for you: Mickie James has more career & title wins
than Humberto Carrillo, Murphy, Drew Gulak, Tucker, Lucha House Party & Shorty G combined!
Enjoy your day!
No Offense Fellas, You Seem Like Nice Folks, just the facts, Im A Free Agent, Free Agent
Mickie”
So this is true and it makes you really question the logic behind the WWE Draft
Obviously inactive talent like John Cena, Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey and others aren’t
part of the draft, but if they were a part of it, you would sign those big names right
away based off their history and who they are alone
So it makes you wonder why guys like Shorty G, Murphy, and The Luncha Party are all being
drafted and selected to be on a brand in front of a future hall of famer like Mickie James
and all of her accomplishments
Those guys haven’t accomplished anything and they get a better draft spot than Mickie
James.
It really just makes you question the WWE Draft
It honestly feels disrespectful to Mickie James and her legacy.
Are we really supposed to believe that USA Network and Fox wants Shorty G instead of
the multiple time women’s champion who has had a 20 year long career?
So I thought Mickie James really pointed out a big flaw there in the WWE Draft system and
I thought it was really interesting to discuss
It’s understandable that the champions and the younger talent with a lot of potential
will always be the selected early on in the WWE Drafts
But for a lot of these names to be selected before the legendary Mickie James really makes
you wonder what’s going on here
Regardless of her age or what year of her career she’s in, Mickie James should have
selected a bit more early based on her hall of fame career so far
The WWE Draft has always been enjoyable to me, I love the concept of superstars switching
brands and freshening up the rosters with different talent every year
But where you get selected at during the draft is always a hot topic, especially in Mickie
James’ case where she was basically ignored for the first night of the draft
Hopefully she will be selected because going undrafted is another level of disrespect
Even though free agent storylines can be very interesting, such as Heath Slater’s free
agency storyline from a few years ago, I just don’t think it’s a good look for future
hall of fame superstars to be going undrafted
