Book It: Bray Wyatt / Wyatt Family face turn

[idislikeeverything]

So a lot of people agree a face turn is inevitable and almost vital to evolve the character and the most often cited scenario invokes destroying "the machine" of The Authority - but how do you do it? Do you just have them attack one night? Do you do a slow build to it? Do you do another scenario altogether with Bray being won over Bayley's happiness or something else?

Try and keep it genuine and no "eats catering" stuff. Everyone here hammers his booking so let's see if anyone else can do better.

Build up The Authority as a dominant faction again and have Bray and the Family take them down. He'll be the voice of his fireflies, not content with the world and the ways of The Authority.

Ehh. Bray could def work as a face because he has the type of voice to make people want to do something or despise him. I still think Bray should be the big bad instead of the authority because to this day one of the promos he cut before MITB is still one of my favorites of him. It was to the point and essentially said whoever has the title has the power. Simple and effective message that should ring true more.

There was a moment, post-Cena feud, where I thought for a moment that Wyatt might turn face.

He was cutting his usual cryptic promo, but rather than end with a "Run!" or "Follow the buzzards!", he ended it with, "Join me!"

I think that's all he'd need to turn face. Wyatt can continue being a bizarre, cryptic prophet, but he'd find solidarity among the masses rather than trying to lord over them. Downplay the cult aspect a bit in favor of the "family" thing and the whole group could be some pretty solid anti-heroes.

With the Cena feud it felt like they were trying to make him a "cool heel" and then turn him face with the "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands" stuff.

They ride to the ring in an ice cream van and hand out ice cream to the fans.

It turns out all Bray is is a basement-dwelling nerd who mooches off his dad IRS's money and pays a bunch of big, scary guys to hang out with him and listen to his ramblings so he looks like a badass. On being discovered he comes clean and becomes motivated to make something of himself, becoming an underdog man of the people.

Easy.

- Wyatt Family officially loses against the Shield Bros and their partner ending the feud as Reigns and Ambrose head into the title picture
- The Authority goes off on Wyatt one night saying that they had high hopes for him moving onto the main roster but so far he's a false prophet and because of him the Shield runs wilds including Rollins who's now a face as well, they blame the Wyatts on the Shield being everywhere and give them a final shot
- Shield Bros beat Wyatts officially on Raw, might be a Shield reunion who knows but after they win the Authority comes out and lays out the Shield (notably Rollins) setting up Triple H/Rollins at the next ppv
- Triple H/Rollins is going on and the Wyatt Family "flash on the screen" thing happens giving Rollins the win given the Authority's shenanigans almost gave Triple H the win
- Triple H cuts a promo on Raw the next night and at the end the screen flashes and the Wyatts are behind him, Wyatt lays out Triple H as the crowd cheers
- Next Monday Wyatt cuts a promo on how the Authority, the establishment, has ruined everything and in order to see a greater world they must be destroyed, he says they can't compete with his numerous followers
- Wyatt/Authority feud is a go
- WM32 is Wyatt/Triple H while the Shield's in the triple threat for the title

Having Wyatt be chewed by the Authority and having them talk about "high hopes" and "moving him to the main roster" just makes him look like a "normal wrestler".

During the Cena feud I still maintain he was the face. He had fantastic momentum going into it with the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand.

His whole schtick has been anti-establishment, so have him go after the "chosen one" or "golden child" or whatever he wants to call Rollins. Have The Authority throw obstacle after obstacle in his way. Wyatt stops cutting as many promos and vows to let his actions speak for themselves. He cuts through everyone like a buzzsaw on his way to Rollins. Have him just destroy someone in the ring and after the pinfall he gets up and stares down the hard camera looking focused and angry. Keep this up.

Much like any character in the WWE it's not hard to get them over as a heel or face. The writing is just super f***ing lazy.

Less "DEH!" and "buzzards" and "lyin' to you, maaaaan!" and more Wyatt just wrecking everyone, while keeping some things in tact? I'm in.

Yeah but that's kinda what he was the moment they threw him in that MITB match for the title tbh. Also since Jericho beat him he hasn't been normal really.

I had a dream last night that the watts turned face and Luke harper got a modest haircut. It was pretty boring.

Same way Undertaker turned face - start fighting heels. TADA!
