WWE WrestleMania 32 will be make or break for The Wyatt Family.
Bray Wyatt's brood has been a force in the WWE for quite some time now, but they haven't fully ever made it over the hump due to their creative booking. This could all change at the "Show of Shows" on April 3 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
Potential Outcomes To Fastlane Main Event
The current backstage plans for the stable will see Bray Wyatt take on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32, while Braun Strowman will have his first huge high-profile match with The Undertaker, according to Wrestlingheadlines.com.
This means it's time for The Wyatt Family to sink or swim.
The WWE Should Do Away With Fastlane
The WWE is showing a lot of faith in Bray and Strowman by reportedly getting set to put them up against two of the biggest stars in the industry at the largest event of 2016. Vince McMahon was even reportedly toying with the idea of having Strowman battle Lesnar until the plans changed.
What has held back the Wyatt Family from truly feeling like a legitimate threat is how often they've come up on the short-end of the booking. They've time-and-time again caused a ruckus for some of the WWE's top stars only to be thwarted off every time.
While the PG-era logic calls for the babyfaces to go over more times than not, the heels have to win a few times to feel like an actual threat. Bray's WrestleMania resume alone is impressive on paper, but he has a suspect 0-2 win-loss record.
The "Eater of Worlds" lost to face of the franchise John Cena at WrestleMania XXX then fell to the legendary Undertaker last year. He's due for a win, but with the WWE putting him in the ring with a seemingly unstoppable Lesnar, he could be headed for yet another loss at the marquee event.
"The Beast" rarely loses these days, but if the WWE is pumping in millions of dollars into the 38-year-old Lesnar, they might as well use him to build an up-and-coming star in Bray, who is just 28. Strowman or Bray must go over for the Wyatts to feel legitimate, and if they both win their matches, it would be huge for the stable and the future of the WWE.
The Undertaker has only lost once at WrestleMania, and that was to Lesnar two years ago, so if the WWE wants to keep that as his lone blemish at the biggest event in history, it makes sense. Bray, however, simply can't afford another loss.
Bray and his group have a huge chance for breakout moments at WrestleMania, but it's up to the WWE not to squander it ... again.
