Bray Wyatt has been pushed as a top star since returning to WWE last year when Triple H brought him back at the end of WWE Extreme Rules following weeks of White Rabbit teases.
The company has been careful with how they’ve booked him as he will wrestle his first TV match since WrestleMania 37 in 2021 this Saturday night at the Royal Rumble.
While speaking on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed where WWE could go with Roman Reigns and potential title contenders coming out of the Royal Rumble where he defends his Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Kevin Owens. This is where he mentioned that Wyatt is internally viewed as the number one babyface on the SmackDown brand and would be another top star Reigns hasn’t worked with in recent years.
“I don’t think so. It’s possible. Bray is considered the number one babyface on SmackDown. He is the biggest-slotted star that Roman has not worked with, but I also don’t know…Roman also knows that people who work with Bray always look a lot worse than going in,” Meltzer stated.
