How would you subtly tease a possible Bray Wyatt return?

[Corre.222]

Some of the best parts of wrestling is when there is some creepy subtle VIRAL teasing happens for someone you don't know who it is, and everybody tries to guess who it is (and some joke & say the Broncos)

Again, examples are SAVE_US.222, Retribution (before it was booked badly), and #ItBegins, which started at first with a gleaming atomic refractor over a Twitter chyron.

In the fourth quarter of the year where cold weather comes, WWE tends to coast until the Road to Wrestlemania.

Assuming that Bray Wyatt does come back, how would you build up anticipation for Bray Wyatt? This could be the what helps carry WWE to next year. I am not one to say that a show stinks if someone doesn't debut, but weeks of this would surely help when protracted.

I think I'd do it this way

WEEK 1) Have 2 frames just flicker red during a match. Make people think it's a real technical problem
WEEK 2) Have this happen TWICE in the show
WEEK 3) More flickering, but change or affix a symbol in a Match Graphic
WEEK 4-5) Have this happen with pixelated Red & Black
WEEK 6-7) Do this again, with sound effects, and Corey finally acknowledging this
WEEK 8) More flickering, but this time with a ominous creepy gothic video with silhouettes
WEEK 9) Ominous creepy gothic video with speaking, not necessarily Bray's voice to give it away

Backstage someone randomly discovers a tank with a Ferrari engine inside it, leading to much confusion.

I'd have Alexa start to see and hear things we can't, feeling guilt and likes she's being tortured for her past, build to her being found with some of the FF stuff and in a complete breakdown. She then sacrifices Lilly returning Bray from the simulation he was stuck in. Yes I would keep them paired together after.


I guess that wouldn't be too subtle though.

“Why won’t this damn thing run!?”

I wouldn’t tease it at all. Just have the lights go out and when they come back on Wyatt (back to his debut attire) hits whoever with Sister Abigail.

No Fiend, no Firefly Funhouse, just creepy backwoods Bray with his white pants, Hawaiian shirt and straw fedora.

And then a week later, someone finds a jetpack backstage.

Erick Rowan overrunning RAW sitting upon a throne carried on the backs of 10,000 robot spiders.

Jetpack noises.

God no... at least Fiend/Funhouse Bray actually had a point.

Backwoods Bray was 100% vauge and spooky for vague and spooky reasons and their get out of booking free cards...

[Heartbreaker]

Triple H walks out with a microphone, he sighs and says "Here he is, now leave me alone!". Bray crab walks down to the ring and then to the back. He is never seen again.

John Cena is acting like Hollywood Hogan

Thats why I have a feeling that Backwoods Bray might be making a comeback. A dude that can cut vague promos that could apply to 90 percent of the roster, then have them attack someone at random to start a feud is someone that could come in very useful when you book yourself into a corner or want Roman to retain.

I get that this is probably a joke, but it might actually be something that would be a good subtle tease either mentioned to seen super quick when the camera is supposed to see something else.

However, the man himself apparently doesn't like to recall his time as Husky Harris at all. When he does signings, it's his one caveat that he won't sign.

[repomark]

Psssssst. Bray Wyatt’s coming back.

[Push R Truth]

Subtitle random bullshit for weeks that ends in disappointment is Wyatt's entire gig.

[Mid-Carder]

I would personally play White Rabbit over the speakers at live events and let people speculate

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

I’d say that talks have broken down between us and Windham Rotunda. Then I’d use some type of viral marketing. Maybe play a song during live events and use a familiar light show. Then have someone tweet a photo and reference to said song. Then 30 minutes before show time the head writer would go GOD DAMN IT THIS IS SHIT! SOMEONE REWRITE IT!

Wait, scratch that last part.

[Wieners=$$$]

What?


Too subtle?

Miss for me.

Funhouse/Fiend Bray was the better gimmick.

If the White Rabbit stuff is a tease for Bray than IMO theyre on the right track.
