WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts recently sat down for an interview with Sports Illustrated “Extra Mustard” where they asked him about the recent push & championship reign of Bray Wyatt. Roberts, who has been a vocal fan of Wyatt in the past & who Wyatt has been compared to, has been commenting on the direction of the character for the past few years.
“It’s great that Bray is champion, but my worry is that they’re pulling him away from his character. The people were chanting, ‘You deserve it!’ to him on Smackdown after he won the title. Is that a chant for a heel? Hell no, but that’s just the nature of the business these days. Bray needs to do something really nasty, and now is the time. He needs to be the one to do something crude and wrong. Hopefully they’ll let him keep his character and hold onto the belt for a while. If this is just WWE quickly using Bray to change the guard, then it’s a waste of time. They’ve really hurt his character in the last year. They’ve really watered it down.”
Bray Wyatt will defend his WWE Championship against former ally 2017 Royal Rumble Winner Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando.
