First, it was worded vaguely enough, and the build to the No Mercy match meh enough, to open the possibility that *sigh* Wyatt's going over on Sunday.
Second, it also failed to link in any significant way to the previous match or its build. The creative team seems to have developed amnesia and forgotten that Balor "teleported" into the ring with Bray several weeks ago - without resorting to the Demon King persona. It feels as though they've dialed back on the background narrative, and particularly stripped it completely of the metaphysical aspects. This is seriously feeding into the rumours that someone high up is not happy with Balor, but if there is one superstar whose booking WWE really can't afford to f*** up, Balor would be it.
So, what's going on here?

The line "like he read in the mythology books" f***ing destroyed me.
Like, what dork has ever talked like this in their life?

Babyfaces and storytime. A deadly combination.

Vince's writing always latches on to one weird character trait that he interprets like he's an alien observing human life for the first time. It also is always like weirdly judgmental of the audience. Like Bryan being "LOOK AT THIS GROSS LOSER HE'S LIKE YOU PEOPLE THAT'S WHY YOU LIKE HIM I DON'T GET IT???" or with Finn "HE'S A DORK READING MYTHOLOGY BOOKS THAT'S WHAT NERDS DO RIGHT??"

What's going on here is they had two separate ideas for feuds - Bray Wyatt wants to bring out the power of the demon and Bray Wyatt wants to prove that the demon is nothing and Finn is just a man, and even though they're completely contradictory they decided to do both at the same time.

They did this feud in reverse, so they have to figure out how to make normal Finn Balor into a mythical force itself, while ignoring the fact that Bray beat normal Finn like a drum the week before Summerslam.

Or Bray believes the way to bring out the power of the demon is to act like there is no demon and Finn is just a man.

With the way they've handled him since he came back, the writers also have amnesia regarding Finn being the first Universal champion.

Bray Wyatt feuds are like the kiss of death for your overness and ability to connect to a crowd...

What bums me out mainly is that it'll probably be ages before he does anything close to the whole Real Rock N Rolla deal, because that was the most comfortable he's ever sounded. Current Finn is just a big dork that I want to shove in to a locker every time he starts talking.

...how about I just give up trying to understand this damn feud and pray it ends ASAP
Which means of course it's going all the way to Survivor Series at a minimum

I actually quite liked the promo, but I agree that I can not wait for these two to never have another match again.

Related note, is it just me or does Bray seem completely miserable lately? You can usually tell he's a lot more comfortable with the cult leader stuff than the supernatural stuff, but this feud in particular he really just seems eager to get every single segment over with as fast as possible.
