The wrestling world is abuzz with the news that WWE is set to introduce a new faction inspired by the late Bray Wyatt. While the tribute to the legendary superstar is appreciated, wrestling veteran Vince Russo has expressed his reservations about the concept.
Wyatt’s untimely passing in August 2023 sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community, and WWE’s decision to pay homage to him is seen as a fitting gesture. The upcoming faction, rumored to be linked to the recent QR code teases on WWE television, is expected to debut soon. However, Russo, a seasoned writer with experience in TNA, WCW, and WWE, has doubts about the idea’s feasibility.
In a recent conversation with Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing With Russo, Russo questioned whether the faction would resonate with fans. Drawing parallels with the short-lived RAW Underground concept introduced by Shane McMahon in 2020, Russo speculated that the Bray Wyatt-themed faction might suffer a similar fate if it fails to resonate with the audience.
Russo also weighed in on the potential inclusion of Alexa Bliss in the new stable, fueling speculation about the direction WWE might take with this new storyline. As the wrestling community eagerly awaits the debut of the faction, fans are left wondering which wrestlers will be part of the group.
The involvement of veteran wrestlers like The Undertaker, as Russo suggests, could add an interesting layer to the narrative. However, the success of the faction hinges on WWE’s ability to craft a compelling storyline that does justice to Bray Wyatt’s legacy.
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath for the debut of the Bray Wyatt-themed faction, one thing is certain – WWE has a tall order on its hands to create a fitting tribute to the late superstar. Will the faction be able to capture the essence of Wyatt’s enigmatic character, or will it succumb to the same pitfalls as RAW Underground? Only time will tell.
