Wyatt Family Debuting Next Week

[Troy]

At the end of RAW this week it was announced that the Wyatt Family would be debuting next week on RAW. They have had vignettes airing for the past six weeks promoting this odd group featuring Bray Wyatt as the leader with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper as his followers. They have been working together in NXT for over a year now and have been receiving strong reviews. I think that it is fair to say that their debut is highly anticipated.

Now that we know that they are debuting next week on RAW what are you expecting from them?

It is interesting that we are getting another unique trio joining the main roster around seven months after The Shield made their impressive debut. The issue for WWE will be to ensure that they aren't looked at as Shield 2.0, they need to be used completely differently to how the Shield were early on so that they aren't constantly compared to that group. The fact that the last segment of RAW was announcing that the Wyatt Family are debuting next week makes me believe that they are going to make a big impact first up. Surely you don't give them the final spot on RAW and then have them attack 3MB when they debut.

For me what I would like to see is the focus purely being on Bray Wyatt early on. Only let him wrestle and only let him speak, the other two are purely followers who help interfere in his matches when required. Eventually evolve the group so that Rowan and Harper become a tag team and get them involved in six man tags as well. For RAW this week what I want is a promo, give Bray Wyatt the mic and just let him talk.

I Think They'll Show Up During Vickie's evaluation & Probably Leave HHH Laying In Middle Of The Ring.

That would be one way to make a huge impact on debut. Whatever happens with them they need to cut a promo and continue that weird creepy vibe that they have going in those videos.

I Just Hope They Don't Do A Complete 180 Like With Brodus.

I doubt it. Wyatt Family have been hyped consistently for the past six weeks and got the final slot on RAW last week, they aren't going to be brought in only to be buried. WWE did screw up with Brodus but they never pushed his vigenettes like they have for the Wyatt Family.

At first when Bray Wyatt debuted his gimmick in FCW I didn't think that it could work but it won me over. Wrestling needs odd gimmicks and this has the potential to be a very good one.

Time to get all the sinners of the world man.

I'm anticipating two possible things that could happen next week

1. WWE is going to blow this completely and inevitably create a Shield 2.0 (by having them ambush random superstars

2. This is going to be the best stable that WWE has ever produced. I'm beginning to understand that WWE creative had some kind of overhaul as of late because half of the stuff they send out there in the past year has been FANTASIC! I mean seriously, Team Hell No (and Bryan's pseudo-repackaging/whatever that's putting him over, can't put my finger on it), The Shield, ummm FUCKING FANDANGO!!

And Ryback.

I'm definitely going to look up RAW Tuesday morning and I plan on marking the frig out when Bray Wyatt walks onto that stage!

I honestly see this turning out like Raven's Flock, where Harper & Rowan are used more as fodder, making people earn the right to get their hands on Wyatt.

We do have a clear difference between them, and Shield, as Wyatt is clearly the leader, and mouth piece, and the Shield is all equal(or they try to be at least).

I do have some doubts, like everyone else. It is the 3rd 3 man team on the main roster in a year, one of them is not doing good at all, the other is starting to lose the momentum. I would really like Wyatt to "brainwash" someone on the main roster, and Daniel Bryan would be my first choice, just from appearances alone, just to see them as something different.

They need to keep Bray somewhat mysterious for as long as they can to build intrigue around him. Having him wrestle immediately would be a massive mistake from my perspective and should be kept out of an actual match for as long as possible, even if it's months.

Have Harper and Rowan be the centre of attention in the ring and doing all the physical work while Bray does his job of having control over them sitting on the ramp in his rocking chair like he does on NXT and cutting all the promos.

I'd like to see this. Bray is already very mysterious thanks to the cool vignettes, and I think it'd be good to have him remain that way when he debuts. Harper and Rowan can do the squash matches, while Bray can get his message across from on top of the stage.

He'd be a lot more interesting if he stayed away from competitive action for a while.

Book these guys like the Westboro Baptist church, which can be done in a PG environment. Sinners replace fags, and god can hate sinners. Bray Wyatt can sit on the outside in huis rocking chair while his followers do his dirty work for awhile. Eventually work their way up the tag team scene and by Survivor Series take on the Shield, because, there will be a clash, that is just innevitable, two factions always have to war.

That or they can just go right after The Shield, say that Dean Ambrose was a member of their herd, but bailed on them. Ambrose looks hillbilly-ish would give his character some backstory.

I can't wait for them to debut.

I have to agree with you.

 

[Nevermore Arcanum]

Not the Shield, this is The Flock 2.0...and I LOVE IT!

 

[Keith]

At least now WWE are putting some build behind their tag division. Will try and catch raw online to see what happens here.

 

[Troy]

So now they have been around for a couple of weeks so what do members think about how they have been used?

They debuted by destroying Kane and "injurying" him so badly that he had to be removed from the All-Stars MITB match. They have also taken apart R-Truth on RAW and then Justin Gabriel and 3MB on Mainevent. They began by taking out the big name and since they have been attacking midcard fodder. Who do you see them going after next and who do you want them to feud with? Do you think that they will make it onto the SummerSlam card and if so against who?
