More and more information is continuing to come out on Bray Wyatt’s release, so we’ll
go over what else has come out, what this all means for Alexa Bliss, Randy Orton’s
comment, and more
Let’s start off with what this Bray Wyatt release really means for Alexa Bliss and her
character
Like we previously discussed, the torch of Bray Wyatt’s gimmick and creation has been
passed down to Alexa Bliss, it now belongs to her character
Like Mickie James alluded to, it had nothing at all to do with Alexa Bliss the individual,
but’s it’s just a weird direction that WWE decided to take things in with stealing
one superstar’s creation, giving it to someone else, then releasing them
It’s not the first time this happened either, there’s been plenty of stories of superstars
and who have pitched something great and then their idea was given to someone else . So
that’s what we have going on here.
And it’s a shame because you would think that they would learn from their mistakes
from the first time, but Alexa Bliss is sort of becoming a victim of what Bray Wyatt was
a victim of for a handful of years, and that’s having an amazing brilliant character with
dreadful direction
So there’s no more debating of “what are they gonna do with Alexa Bliss when Bray comes
back?”
Bray’s not coming now, the gimmick now belongs to Alexa Bliss and it’s hers to keep
There’s now reports that WWE even considered cutting Bray Wyatt during earlier wave of
releases this year, so maybe this was the plan all along, give it to Alexa to keep it
going and get rid of him
So now that Bray’s not coming and no longer present in WWE, it would be great to at least
see Alexa Bliss given some proper direction and purpose with the gimmick
Alexa Bliss’ character and direction hasn’t really been the same since that horrific night
of Wrestlemania 37
It’s almost as if that original dark Alexa Bliss character that everyone loved sort of
disappeared with The Fiend after Wrestlemania
However, with Bray out of the picture, it feels like the theory of Lilly coming to life
as Alexa’s alter ego has to happen now
That’s most likely the plan there to keep Bray Wyatt’s creation going in WWE without
him being there
Lilly probably debuts at Summerslam, which is coincidence because The Fiend also debuted
at Summerslam, probably destroys Eva Marie and then we can finally see Alexa start to
get some actual direction
If WWE plans to copy and paste everything they did with the Fiend, that means Lilly
will be in the title picture right after her debut
And assuming that Nikki Ash walks out of Summerslam still champion, maybe that’ll finally be
a good quality feud for Alexa Bliss
Alexa and Nikki have so much history together.
Alexa is obviously the way she is today because of Nikki’s actions and how Nikki basically
left her alone in the ring to get abducted by The Fiend
So 2021 Alexa and Nikki are completely unrecognizable when compared to their 2020 former selves
So it’ll be great to explore their history with each other all while they feud again
for the raw women’s championship
That would actually be a great story for both Nikki and Alexa, but we really don’t know
if we can be getting it because a lot of people don’t really expect Nikki to retain her
title at Summerslam
But even a Charlotte vs Alexa story could work, but then again, we still have PTSD from
seth Rollins vs The Fiend
Would that be the same situation here where you don’t want your champion to lose, but
you dont want your hot new character to lose either
The thought of Alexa debuting this new Lilly Fiend-like Alter ego is exciting, but then
you remember what company you’re dealing with here and your expectations just go right
back to the floor
If they couldn’t get it right with the actual creator of the gimmick, what makes you think
they’re gonna get it right without him?
That’s quite the challenge
They had The Fiend lose to Goldberg.
How do you do that?
How do you explain that
Let’s hope they don’t bring back some retired women’s wrestler that returns and
squashes Lilly for the women’s title, that’s just the sort of thing that we’ve come to
expect by now
So we’ll see what happens with Alexa Bliss now that she’s the owner of this gimmick,
but Bray Wyatt is irreplaceable and it really was such a weird move to not only give someone’s
creation to someone else, but to release them on top of it as well
It’s wrong what they did, but with it all now officially belonging to Alexa Bliss and
Bray not coming back, we can only hope that they learnt from their mistakes and take it
in a much better direction than the first time around
But nothing they’ve shown us so far with Alexa over these last few months has really
given us any hope that that’s the case, so it is a bit hard to be hopeful but that’s
all we have left at this point, just hope they handle Alexa’s fiend better than their
original direction for Bray’s Fiend
Bray’s Fiend and the entire momentum was really destroyed from that second ever match
that featured the fiend
Follow that up a few months later with losing to Goldberg, which really felt like the end
Then having a 7 day universal title reign, followed up by months of hiatus, multiple
losses to Randy Orton, and it was completely over after that
They didn’t have no plans for The Fiend because they absolutely destroyed and mishandled
him
Such a great idea and concept destroyed in only a matter of months and then kept getting
more and more ruined as time went on
So do we hope Lilly turns out to be an amazing revival of The Fiend?
Absolutely, no doubt about it
Do we have high expectations for Lilly storyline and direction wise?
No, not at all.
It’s to the point that it’s extremely hard to be optimistic right now
This is a place that brings Goldberg back for multiple world title matches every year,
they wanted to put Karrion Kross on a losing streak to start off his main roster career,
and obviously they just released Bray Wyatt
Really Hard to be hopeful with an operation that’s being ran like that, but all we can
do is wait and see
—————
Speaking of this entire Bray Wyatt situation, fans have went back to the raw after Wrestlemania
to pull some words from a Randy Orton interview that now have even more meaning to them
When asked about The Fiend on the raw after Wrestlemania, Randy Orton said to “mark
his words” that the fiend and the Firefly funhouse will never been seen again in WWE
Of course, at that time, it seemed to be a hint about Orton vs Wyatt continuing but with
Bray Wyatt’s WWE release, it makes Orton’s words actually true
We may never see Bray Wyatt in WWE again, so that Randy Orton promo from April is getting
a lot of attention right now
There’s also this image going around that shows a majority of the WWE superstars Randy
Orton has interacted with over the last year and a half have all ended up leaving WWE and
joining AEW
That list included, Christian, Big Show, Mark Henry, and Matt Hardy
All WWE superstars that Orton interacted with in 2020 and 2021 that all ended up leaving
and joining AEW
If Bray Wyatt was to join AEW, he’ll be another name added to this strange stat of
Randy Orton sending former WWE superstars to AEW
But Bray seems to already have something planned
He changed his Instagram bio to say:
‘Kult of Windham coming soon’.
So it’s hard to know for sure what that means at this given time, maybe it’s completely
unrelated to wrestling, but fans assume that it could relate to his next big creative idea
for where he lands next
Maybe a new faction, maybe similar the Wyatt family where he’ll have some followers behind
him
AEW’s Dark Order was also trending on twitter because fans were discussing the possibility
for him to go to AEW and lead the dark order
Dark Order’s original founder was the late great Brodie Lee, who everyone knows was like
a brother to Bray Wyatt
So is that something he would have interest in?
Would he be open to taking over this faction and operation that Brodie Lee was the founder
of
Even just a moment in the ring between Bray Wyatt and Brodie Lee Junior would be very
special and very emotional
So the possibilities really are endless for someone as talented as Bray Wyatt and everyone
can’t wait to see what’s next for him
