Count me among those who didn’t love the decision to strap Goldberg at Super ShowDown, and was underwhelmed by the initial set-up of Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena for WrestleMania 36.
But I’m also someone who’s learned to trust Wyatt will make anything he’s involved in at least interesting. He started to spin his week that way with a tweet sent in between Thursday’s PPV and Friday’s TV, and he’s continued since SmackDown ended with The Fiend pointing at the ‘Mania sign.

His replies continue to point at some frustration from the man behind the character, though (or he’s playing into that to serve his character... babyface Fiend coming?). Like this exchange with his design partner:

Bray’s trying... are you still going to let this feud in? Or do the last few days have you checked out of the Fun House?
