Sister Abigail and the Creators of New Worlds.

      The collective heart of the WWE Universe bleeds this day with frustrated sadness over the outcome of last night’s Royal Rumble Pay Per View but we cannot deny that the wrestling world shakes today with its repercussions.  I woke up to the whisper; a woman’s name floating strangely on the wind and a fire burned in some deep, dark place in my heart.  The name I heard it haunts me in the way that it has haunted the WWE for months but today the sweetness of her name holds in it a new meaning.  You listen close and you’re going to feel it before you hear it; an unsettling little chill in your bones perhaps, but for some of us we’re going to hear it and feel the sweet warmth of the burning fire.  Sister Abigail….Oh how I have waited.

  

   At long last Bray Wyatt has been validated before the wide, frightened eyes of the WWE Universe.  Before they’d come, the Wyatt family taunted the WWE with its haunting, cryptic message.  When finally they appeared, they together brutalized anyone upon whom they set their eyes but in toe to toe battle the patriarch of the Wyatt family proved mostly unimpressive.  No matter how badly we longed to believe; no matter how many lamb’s masks appeared in the crowd night after night, on his own, Bray Wyatt couldn’t seem to win a match.  Even so, we wanted desperately to believe. 

      When Bray Wyatt stood against Kane inside the ring of fire we longed to see Bray Wyatt lay waste to the big, red monster.  One on one though, Kane was undefeatable and Bray relied on the assistance of Luke Harper and Eric Rowan once more.  When they snatched Kane away, we held our breath and waited to see what wicked thing would come of it all and in the end, there was nothing.  Kane returned as if nothing had even happened. 

      Then it took all three members of the Wyatt family just to harass the resilient Daniel Bryan for a few weeks.  They wore him down soon enough and though Bryan claims that his immersion into the family was part of a clever scheme, when we watch the matches and we look into Daniel Bryan’s eyes we can see the defeat.  Daniel Bryan might have found some strange new resolve and turned his back on the family that loved him and he may have surprised Bray Wyatt inside a steel cage.  Last night at the Royal Rumble though, Bray Wyatt cleanly defeated Daniel Bryan; the man who just weeks ago had won the championship.  Harper and Rowan had no need to interfere.  At long last the WWE Universe bore witness to the devastating power of Bray Wyatt and in the end Daniel Bryan succumbed to sweet Sister Abigail.

       During last night’s championship match the Wyatt family appeared once more and made their powerful presence known to two of the toughest competitors currently in the WWE.  John Cena met his devastating loss beneath the menacing gaze of the Wyatts last night and he felt the dual belts slip through his fingers again.  Perhaps the war between John Cena and the Wyatt family or between him and Bray Wyatt is now soon to come. 

      Bray Wyatt has made it clear now that he can stand with any man or beast in the WWE and he knows no fear.  Questions circle the WWE Universe now.  What happens now?  Will John Cena come for vengeance against the Wyatts?  And what is to come of Daniel Bryan?  His run for the title has been played out.  His own war with the Wyatts has been decided…unless of course John Cena and Daniel Bryan wage a new war with the Wyatt family.  A new world is being created before us.  It’s time for RAW.  Follow the buzzards.
