I often compare Wyatt's gimmick to that of Taker's. If Taker hadn't reinvented himself throughout his career - no way would he still be in WWE now. Wyatt needs to reinvent himself - still be Bray Wyatt, but with a tweaked gimmick. Going back to Taker, we had this:
Western Mortician (1990-1994) The Deadman (1994-1996) Lord of Darkness (1996-1999) Ministry (1999) American Bad Ass (2000-2001) Big Evil (2001-2003) The Phenom (2004-2011) The Last Outlaw (2011-2017)
Look at that list for a moment. All different gimmicks, one character. All created by tweaking the previous one slightly. This is what they should do with Wyatt, tweak his gimmick - then, when it starts to become stale, tweak it again.

It will be interesting to see what they do with him. If they have him go old school Bray or an entire new character. I remember years ago after his husky Harris run on the main roster when he got sent back to fcw seeing a video of a live event where he was trying a new character where he was like a psycho killer/ leather face type gimmick. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. They might try that with him. But what ever it is I just hope this isn’t a sign that he will be getting his walking papers soon. I’m a huge Bray Wyatt fan.

Ive never understood why they dont repackage Bo Dallas as Bo Wyatt and team them. It would be more entertaining then anything either have done the past year.

You repackage a guy that has been lost in the shuffle with no feuds and is mid-card. You don't repackage a former WWE Champion!
I am guessing Bray just wants time off from the WWE. I am sure Vince hated that match anyhow and figures that if Bray is off TV for a while, nobody will remember and that match will probably never happen again in WWE anyhow so it doesn't matter.

Maybe he'll just become a character in the Broken/Woken Universe.
Hardy Boy Jeff Hardy and Brother Nero are two different characters....so, maybe Bray Wyatt just becomes one of Matt's disciples.

This if undertaker didn't evolve from the motrician gimmick he wouldnt have made it to through attitude era I kinda hope he joins Matt as a Broken Follower, that'd be pretty cool.

He doesn't need repackaging. He simply needs more realism and an actual motif people can understand.

He doesn't need repackaging. He simply needs more realism and an actual motif people can understand. Bray Wyatt was always just Azazel from the movie Fallen. He was relatively simple to understand imo. Sure, some of his demon speak was overly convoluted, but I think as a heel, people got the gist. He's been a ship without a sail on his own, though. So I don't think it's necessarily about finding a motif people can understand as much as it is about having a motif at all. I'm curious what he does with the Hardys. He's definitely shown he's best served with a stable around him, but this could make him a hell of a babyface if done correctly. They could be the anti-Decay, of sorts. Matt and Jeff can elevate him and you don't have to worry about what happens if they split because they all work as separate entities.

He'll probably use that Sister Abigail gimmick at some point that he was supposed to debut against Balor before he went down with that illness.

A country star gimmick, riding a tiny horse to the ring.

I wish he'd go back to the core of his character from NXT/FCW. That's the Wyatt I loved but when he came up to the main roster, they had no idea what to do with him. I wanna see more stuff like this:

I bet they make him come back as a cross dressing "Sister Abigail" so Steph & HHH can get the trans/pan/bi/whatever community on board.
