Wyatt's Time Running Out?

Simply put, Bray Wyatt is one of the most intriguing characters WWE has seen in years. He's got a unique gimmick (which he plays to absolute perfection), a unique look, a solid stable behind him, and he can go in the ring (Royal Rumble 2014 vs Daniel Bryan, anyone?). When he first debuted, people were saying that he could be the next Undertaker, the next supernatural, larger-than-life character who astounds fans for years to come. However, almost three years after they officially debuted on the main roster, the Wyatts are less relevant than they've ever been before, and are in serious danger of becoming just another example of wasted talent in the WWE.

A common recurring theme over the past few years with regards to Wyatt is that, while he's had numerous high-profile feuds, he rarely ever wins these feuds. Sometimes, it's understandable. In his aforementioned feud with Daniel Bryan, for example, putting Bryan over was the clear choice. However, that didn't stop Wyatt from putting on a fantastic showing, including this moment on Raw, one of the loudest pops I've ever heard in my entire life. The fans may have been cheering for Daniel Bryan, but without Wyatt as a foil for the lovable underdog, this moment never could have happened. 

However, more often than not, WWE has decided to stick Wyatt with losses for seemingly no reason at all, leaving fans scratching their heads. For example, his feud with John Cena around Wrestlemania 30 time. Instead of using the 15-time world champ to help put Wyatt, one of the company's hottest young up-and-coming stars, over, WWE decided to give Cena not only the win at Wrestlemania, but a victory in the rubber match as well. Simply put, there was no need for Cena to go over Wyatt here. He wouldn't have lost any credibility for taking the pin, and Wyatt would've gained so much. Instead, Wyatt was forced to swallow yet another bitter loss, leaving fans wondering when his time would truly come. 

It's about time that Bray Wyatt challenges for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Hear me out.

Since the faction's debut, many people have said that its members simply don't need titles to be relevant. Frankly, this would normally be pretty true. Their characters are not the sorts that require titles, they do just fine as dominant, terrifying monsters. The only problem with that, however, is that monsters aren't constantly losing. They aren't always getting beaten down bu babyfaces, being constantly made to look weak for simply no reason. Monsters destroy whoever they want, whenever they want. Monsters are intimidating, monsters command respect, and most importantly, monsters dominate. However, what the Wyatts have been doing as of late is far from dominating. Therefore, while it certainly isn't a necessity, a title run for Wyatt could do absolute wonders to help restore his legitimacy among fans, as well as to help pave the way for the future, which he will most certainly be an important part of.
