WWE's Plan for Bray Wyatt and 45-year old megastar at WrestleMania 39 - Reports
WWE is now building a blockbuster lineup of matches for WrestleMania 39 as they pull out all the stops for the fans, including a spot for Bray Wyatt in the proceedings.
Following Wyatt's return last year at Extreme Rules 2022, WWE has been careful with his booking and treated him as one of the company's biggest stars. The New Face of Fear found himself embroiled in a heated feud with LA Knight. After the end of their rivalry at Royal Rumble, he began looking for a new opponent to play with on the road to WrestleMania.
Bray Wyatt addressed his status for WrestleMania 39 on the previous edition of SmackDown as he issued a warning to the winner of Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley's match at Elimination Chamber, telling them to run. With the match between the two megastars ending in a DQ win for Lashley, and Lesnar seemingly receiving a challenge at the Showcase of the Immortals by Omos, it looks like the stage has been set.
Dave Meltzer spoke on Wrestling Observer Radio, reporting that WWE has made up its mind to go with Bray Wyatt vs. Bobby Lashley and is running with Omos to take on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39.
“I thought every match [at Elimination Chamber] was strong, except the Lesnar match. The Lesnar match, you know, it was four minutes and had an explosive finish, it was a typical Lesnar match that they do. It was a way to get out of the match. Obviously, they’re going with Bray Wyatt against Lashley and they’re going with Brock Lesnar vs Omos.” H/T RSN
Bray Wyatt said that he wants Brock Lesnar or Bobby Lashley.
