One of the main showcases in this year’s Wrestlemania is the showdown between cult leader Bray Wyatt and the viper Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight championship. The match is getting a lot of attention heading into Sunday’s PPV main event not only because of its magnitude, but also rumors of the apparition of Sister Abigail. Sister Abigail, the maleficent kin of current WWE champ Bray Wyatt, is rumored to make her WWE debut on the greatest stage of sports entertainment at Wrestlemania 33 in Orlando, Florida.
The Wyatt-Orton feud has been building up for more than six months and there’s no better place to highlight SmackDown’s top rivalry than the PPV’s main event.
With a storyline this intriguing, WWE must have something special under their sleeves.
The much-awaited WWE debut of Sister Abigail might be the only missing piece for the match to become a memorable one. The character has long fascinated WWE fans for years, and WWE managed to pull it off without any of their superstars playing the role.
But now that Wyatt has officially blossomed into a main event player, the necessity of a walking, spitting version of Sister Abigail becomes a priority. The list of reasons why Sister Abigail should appear in WWE programming could go on and on. However, these three prove to be the most logical.
Wyatt needs new companion/manager
Randy Orton’s viper-liked plan to destroy the Wyatt Family cost Bray the allegiance of one of his most loyal minions, Luke Harper.
Now, that he has no followers/ minions around him, Wyatt absolutely needs another henchman to take his WWE championship reign to the next level.
Sister Abigail, roaming around the sidelines, will be a perfect ‘partner in crime’ for Wyatt in future big matches. She’ll be a useful ally in desperate times for Wyatt, fending off any threats of a potential title change.
Character’s huge marketing potential
In every time Bray Wyatt speaks of his evil sister, the more the WWE universe becomes curious of her. If WWE wants to monetize Sister Abigail’s increasingly growing popularity, it’s about time they convince someone to embrace the character. It doesn’t matter if she’s one of their underused female wrestler or an up-and-coming NXT superstar, just let her sport a despicable look and WWE fans will surely buy into it.
Complementary factor to Wyatt's dominance
Bray Wyatt told Crave in a recent interview that he really doesn’t know when Sister Abigail will appear in a WWE ring or event. He appears contented of the fact that he’s the only one who can see and feel her presence alone. Yet, there’s a side of him screaming for the presence of Sister Abigail character by his side.
"That's a challenging question and there's not a simple answer to it. I get a little confused. I don't know what is real and what isn't. That's just the nature of me. Can I say never? No, I cannot. Can I say for certain? No, I cannot. But I see her and feel her and that's as real as it needs to be," said Wyatt.
Sister Abigail will actually bring a whole new dynamic to Bray.
Like Paul Bearer to the Undertaker, the character will only enhance Wyatt’s character as one of the most unstoppable forces in wrestling today. Sure, Bray is already a good wrestler to stand on his own feet, but why not adding a complementary piece to the product. It does make sense, right?
