Bray Wyatt's back injury is "pretty significant"

[RammerJammer]

It seemed curious that WWE decided to change the booking of Roadblock at the last minute and have Luke Harper work the match against Brock Lesnar as opposed to the originally promoted Wyatt vs. Lesnar singles match (itself a change from the very first booking, which was Harper vs. Lesnar).

Now we know why, at least if this report is accurate.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required but recommended), Wyatt is suffering from a "pretty significant" back injury and there is "no word on how long he'll be out of action." That would also explain why The Wyatt Family weren't used on any WWE television programs this week.

The good news, if you can call it that, is the Family didn't have much of a direction at the moment when the decision was made to book Lesnar in a match against Dean Ambrose atWrestleMania 32. Even if Bray can't be back to active wrestling by the big show on April 3 in Texas, Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman are all still available for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which was officially announced just this past week but as of yet has no participants.

Having said all that, can these injuries stop now? Please?

Another one bites the dust

We all know Strowman is winning the battle royale.

 

[GiantGonzalez]

He should just be a manager anyway

What did Cokeboy do to anger the wrestling gods?

Time for Big Dirty Cool to step in and run the family.

What did Cokeboy do to anger the wrestling gods?

This is just the result of having a ridiculously strenuous, overloaded, year-round schedule of athletes training, bumping and slamming their bodies around over and over WITHOUT relying heavily on steroids, z-paks, alcohol and cocaine.

Get Luke Harper away from these bums.

WITHOUT relying heavily on z-paks.

Tbh this might be the best thing to happen to him if they milk it right. Wyatt should have been a chickenshyt heel that had a mysterious aura to him. Like someone you couldn't reach unless you destroyed his family first. For such a natural position to draw heat, wwe fukked him over by having him job out to basically any significant opponent. Have him be active in promos but untouchable until he's at a hundred percent and have the family do significant damage while having Harper as the main hoss handing out beat downs and they could rebuild him. Maybe have him 'convert' a few no direction guys on the roster. He could lead a full roster revolt angle if you play your cards right. Have him run a numbers angle by persuading guys on the bottom half until the faces of the roster have no choice but to bring him down. Unfortunately with the authority running the show's main focus they totally ignore this opportunity

i feel like Bray Wyatt is more for little children.

He there to scare them....but they don't realize he hasn't won a damn match in 2 years. Whereas adults understand this and see he's become a joke at this point.

We all know Strowman is winning the battle royale.

Im all for this and on monday, have a nikka like Armando Alejandro Estrada return to WWE and be his manager. Dude made Umaga a legend
