10. Bray Wyatt

Yes, I know. Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family only debuted in July 0f 2013. Thus, ranking him after a calendar year could easily be confused with being a prisoner of the moment.

It’s not. It’s acknowledging that Wyatt is one of the most unique and refreshing wrestlers in recent WWE history.

Wyatt entered the main roster with a reincarnation of the overplayed psycho gimmick, but he’s transformed it into something unbelievable. In just one year’s time, he’s entered into programs with the likes of CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Kane and John Cena at Wrestlemania.

Now involved in a feud with Chris Jericho, Wyatt has gone from a promising superstar to one of the very best in the business.

What Wyatt does so well is methodically phrase his every word and action in a match or promo. Whether he wins or loses, he always comes out looking like a strong force both in the ring and in the mind of his opponent.

Even after just one year, Wyatt has already become one of the most memorable wrestlers of the century.

Properly executed mind games increase interest in every feud, and Wyatt’s one of the few who can still get that right. Such was evident in his attempts to get Cena to turn heel and Bryan to give in to the family’s ways.

Wyatt has to develop longevity to move further up this list, but he’s already one of the greatest heels of this generation.
