2. Sister Abigail nails it and defeats Finn Balor
One of the matches that has been heavily criticized until now has been the latest encounter between Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt. Wyatt has lost to Balor in both his human and demon forms. Ideally, that should have been the end of all this. However, creative would decide to torment us more and continue to punish Wyatt by having one more go at this.
To make it worse, they would turn up the knob on the ‘bizarre’ and turn this into a freaky affair altogether. The kind that makes you wonder, what were they thinking? However, the way I see it, there is some amount of potential to it. Wyatt transforming into Sister Abigail and the poorly edited lady voice made me cringe. Yet there is still some untapped potential to this. There is no doubt in anybody’s mind that both these men can absolutely nail it in the ring. It is the over-the-top antics and theatrics that could turn some fans away from all this.
Wyatt transforming into Sister Abigail will always be a painful sight. Having him dress like a dead woman and wrestle would be too much. Instead, why not let Abigail take a physical form of her own, instead of possessing Wyatt’s body? How about Bo Dallas for example? In addition to helping Dallas do something meaningful, he would also be able to work with his real-life brother.
Imagine the scene if Wyatt wrestled as himself in front of a confused crowd. Then, just as the Demon is closing-in on the win, the lights could go off and we could witness Sister Abigail in all her glory and horror standing right in front of Balor. (S)he could then simply feed the Demon to Wyatt to pick up a win for himself. Not only would this help to establish Sister Abigail as a believable entity, but it will also add some logic to this story. To be precise, it still isn’t too late to pull the trigger on someone actually playing the Sister Abigail character rather than Wyatt. They can still give an explanation that previously Abigail’s spirit had taken over Wyatt but now she has created a physical form for herself.
