Jim Ross Predicts a Full Face Turn is in Store For Bray Wyatt Soon

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross predicts a full face turn is in store for Bray Wyatt soon in his latest entry into his blog featured on his official website, JRsBarBQ.com. Ross claims that Wyatt already has the fans in his back pocket due to charisma, the use of cheap pops, and use of a catchphrase-esc sing-along in “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands.”

Ross writes,

“Bray Wyatt continues to be pushed as a ‘character baby face’ on RAW. His gritty and often times irreverent character is highly entertaining and allows the audience to systematically interact with him and seemingly gets more popular by the week.

It’s only a matter of time until he’s changing jerseys IMO. Mentioning the name of the town that he’s in ala Mick Foley’s “Cheap POP” or Stone Cold’s “Give me a hell yeah!” plus the sing along to ‘He’s Got The Whole World in His Hands’ makes Bray fan friendly.”

Ross also discusses his feelings towards Roman Reigns’ singles push, holding strong to his prediction of Reigns’ winning the 2015 Royal Rumble Match and becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 31, saying,

“Roman Reigns is looking like the next ‘it’ guy, or so it seems, and I am completely fine with that. Great shine in the battle royal for the Samoan athlete and as I said months ago on the Ross Report Podcast, I’ve got Reigns winning the Rumble and then the WWE Title at WM31 and hopefully not before.

WM31 is the only place to put Reigns on the desired pedestal. Plus, he is far from polished and that comes with time. In other words, I hope he isn’t rushed or force fed to the fans.”

The Hall of Fame announcer also touches on the Adam Rose character, saying that he hopes he makes it because he is a hard worker.

“It would be good if the Adam Rose persona was better explained to the audience because I’m trying to understand the persona and haven’t as of yet. Rose can wrestle, as I observed in NXT, but his persona has many bodies involved with it and those types of presentations are normally given a shorter window to connect with the fans because of the cost involved compared to solo or tag team acts. Rose is a hard working talent who I hope makes it.”

Editor’s Note:
I agree with Ross here. I’m a fan of the Rose character, I hope that Reigns’ push takes time, and I have said for MONTHS that Bray Wyatt is a babyface character. Period. He is. Get over it. Sinister, sure, but he’s a face, not a heel.
