"What do people like about this?" - Wrestling veteran feels Bray Wyatt is dragging down popular WWE star
Bray Wyatt's segment with LA Knight and Uncle Howdy on SmackDown may have shocked fans, but former WWE manager Jim Cornette was not impressed.
It was a spine-chilling angle on the blue brand this past week as LA Knight called out Bray for his actions and confronted him in the ring. Knight went on to shove The Eater of Worlds into the turnbuckles and kicked him.
However, Uncle Howdy made an in-person appearance, warning the outspoken superstar of his actions. Knight then ran away, leaving Wyatt laughing as the segment drew to a close.
On the latest episode of Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru, the wrestling veteran discussed the angle. He stated that the segment rambled on without reaching a definitive payoff. Cornette felt that Bray Wyatt was now pulling down LA Knight with his spooky gimmick.
"People have been saying the guy can talk, the guy can work or whatever. He can talk. The problem is he never got to the point. And we haven't seen him wrestle so we don't know if he can work. And we don't know what the f**k is going on here or give a sh*t at this point and it's dragging LA Knight down now with him. What do people like about this?" [From 4:12 - 4:41]
