Jim Ross Raw Recap: Talks Bray Wyatt, Sheamus Heel Turn, Daniel Bryan

WWE Hall of Famer and former voice of “Monday Night Raw” Jim Ross took to his blog on Tuesday to give his thoughts on this past Monday’s installment of the longest-running weekly episodic show on cable television. Below are some of the highlights.

On the Bray Wyatt program with John Cena and the star potential Wyatt has:

“The continued creative development of the Wyatt Family has my interest even though I have no idea where it is going. I love Bray Wyatt’s promos and his in ring work as big men with a second gear are so marketable and so hard to find. Until Bray does something so heinous that the audience turns on him he’s going to continue to travel the cool, unique antagonist road that really isn’t a traditional heel road at all. It is however a star road and perhaps it’s more important to develop pure stars in today’s market, in the mind of some, than it is to develop traditional pro wrestling villains. Time will tell how it all works out but I am enjoying the evolution nonetheless.”

Ross then praised the United States Championship switch to Sheamus, and said that he thinks a heel Sheamus would add a new dynamic:

“Sheamus winning the US title in the Battle Royal was a solid start to RAW with good action and featuring multiple talents. Dean Ambrose US title reign albeit long was uneventful and perhaps Sheamus can help add value to the long time title. I could also see Sheamus trading in his protagonist jersey for an antagonist one sooner than later. Sheamus is a very smart talent who, I think, would be able to add the necessary heel nuances to his game.”

Regarding the WWE World Championship feud between Daniel Bryan and Kane, Ross did admit he felt a little disconnected:

“I wasn’t crazy about WWE World Champion Daniel Bryan seemingly retreating from Kane but I mark it off to DB simply wanting to protect his wife and doing what he can to keep her out of harm’s way. This matter needed to be explained better because one can’t have the company’s top champion being reluctant of physically engaging with anyone. I am of the opinion that this Daniel Bryan/Kane storyline needs better explanation for the TV audience and if nothing else for more viable questions to be asked that encourage the audience to mentally invest in what they are seeing.”
