Backstage News On Possible Plans For The Wyatt Family, Sting And Roman Reigns Getting A Partner?

[Prince Bálor]

As seen at WWE Battleground last night, Luke Harper reunited with Bray Wyatt to help him defeat Roman Reigns. This is the storyline where Sting is expected to make his return.

While a tag match with Sting and Reigns vs. Wyatt and Harper is expected at SummerSlam, it may be a six-man match as the original plan was Sting, Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. Wyatt, Harper and Erick Rowan but Rowan is out of action with an injury. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that we may see a new Wyatt Family member introduced because Rowan is out.

On a related note, WWE is hoping that fans won't boo Reigns because he will be partnered up with Sting but with SummerSlam taking place in New York City, they could easily boo Reigns and cheer Sting.

If this is indeed their plan for SummerSlam, then I'm curious to see how they build this up.
I won't say I'm a huge fan of the idea, but if this turns out to be entertaining, then I won't crap on it if it goes south.

They shouldn't think so hard about this.

Nothing about this sounds appealing

I think it sounds entertaining if they can give Wyatt and Harper someone good (and I suspect they can find somebody, even if they have to bring somebody up from NXT).

I think it would be a ton better with Ambrose's presence, but I suppose Wyatt/Harper vs. Reigns/Sting would be alright.

I would love to see Cactus Jack get involved. I've read in magazines Sting had quite the feud with him many years back.

If it's any indication from Monday we're most likely going to see Reigns/Ambrose go against Wyatt/Harper at SummerSlam. I just don't see Sting being involved in this storyline, even if Rowan is thrown in the mix soon. Say Rowan gets thrown in, Reigns and Ambrose are going to introduce Sting to even up the fight? That's not evening up the fight, that's completely tipping the scales in their favor. I wouldn't be surprised if they had Sting be apart of it after all, but if they're going to use him it should be in a bigger capacity.

 

[The GOAT]

Meltzer reported a few months ago that when the Wyatt Family was set to reunite, they were thinking of adding Bo Dallas (Bray's real-life brother) to the group as the newest member. With Rowan out, he could still end up being added to give the group a third member because Wyatt and Harper by themselves feel less like a 'family' and more like just a duo (a 'group' or 'family' needs to consist of at least three members, in my opinion.) And if not him, then someone else, maybe someone from NXT. I'm pretty skeptical of adding Bo to the family to say the least, especially since I like Bo's current gimmick, but who knows. Could turn out to be an excellent inclusion for all anyone knows.

I don't mind Sting's involvement in this feud. I used to say even before Sting officially signed with WWE that him feuding with the Family could be good. I'm imagining a segment very reminiscent of the NWO days, where the Family are gang-attacking Reigns and Ambrose in the ring and then Sting appears out of nowhere and starts swinging his bat all over the place and cleaning house. Plus, if they're thinking of doing Sting vs Wyatt at WM32, this could be the set-up for it (i.e. the Family puts Sting on the shelf the night after Summerslam until he returns next year.)

I wouldn't mind it if it's just Reigns and Ambrose against the Wyatt Family. It would seem more appealing to me at least, and it does make Ambrose and Reigns look good as well.

Plot twist: Sting goes heel & joins the Wyatt family.
