Why Did Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy Team Up in 2018?

We know why Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy started teaming together. Back in 2018, Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy started teaming up as The Deleters of Worlds. This was before Bray became “The Fiend”. Jeff Hardy was out with injury and Matt was floating around the mid-card before feuding with Bray Wyatt. The feud would lead them to them forming their tag team. On Road Dogg’s Oh You Didn’t Know Podcast he shed some light on the formation of the team.

"We put him [Matt] with Bray because we thought together they could really be this cool entity, but I will say, no, we didn’t know what to do with them. I’ll take the heat, and I always will for a failed opportunity... an opportunity I missed as a writer or a creative guy on the show. We let them be their creative selves and their creative selves, and this is horrible. I don’t mean to say it like this, but I don’t think they knew at that time what they were trying to do. I don’t think they knew, and together, it made a who knew stew."

So there you have it, WWE didn’t know what to do with them so they slapped them together in a tag team. While some random pairings are successful like Cesaro and Sheamus, this wasn’t one of them. Despite that, they did have a run with the Raw Tag Team Titles.

Bray Wyatt would eventually go onto become “The Fiend” and Matt Hardy would leave WWE to go to AEW. Without Jeff out due to a variety of reasons, Matt has floated in the mid-card over the past several years. While Bray had World Title reigns before leaving and returning to WWE.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
