WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross discussed Bray Wyatt winning the WWE Championship in his latest blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. JR says that it was a “strategic” move for WWE to put the title on Wyatt and thinks he’s got a bright future as a babyface.

“Wyatt is a significant, character baby face in the making IMO and the fans at the live events in the arenas seem to agree. The entertaining and memorable Fire Fly entrance is pure ‘face and let’s not forget that Wyatt’s grandfather, Blackjack Mulligan was one of the great character ‘faces of all time as was Bray’s mentor Dusty Rhodes.”

Ross credited the Eater of Worlds for working on virtually every aspect of his game. He likes that Bray’s matches vary and feels that he could have been a star in virtually any era.

“Bray has worked hard on his in ring game, promos and his physique and conditioning which is admirable. He hasn’t been afraid to try new material and he doesn’t have the same match every outing on TV as many of his peers often times do. Bray Wyatt is a timeless talent who would be a star in any era that I have been a part of the past 40 years.”

Discussion: Do you think Bray Wyatt will be a top babyface in the next year? His ‘cult leader’ character lends itself to being more of a heel – what type of villain do you think Bray could play off of as a hero?
