Bryan's official transition to the dark side was evident after the episode of AJ Styles's SmackDown breakthrough for the WWE Championship last week, but WWE doubled its opponent by making it a scathing promo on fans WWE. week, when he declared that the "Yes Movement" was dead. Even though fans cheered on Bryan in his championship game against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, this is a testament to Lesnar's hatred, and at a time when it's hard for popular superstars to be booed by the gentlemen, Bryan has become a despised villain in the space of a week.
Bryan would have been the one who would have pushed his heel up, but at the time of his turn, many asked: is it even possible that there be one? The story says no, as does the way fans respond to talented superstars, regardless of their heel or alignment. But Bryan does his best to prove that this trend is wrong.
Do not forget that the WWE tried, unsuccessfully, to make Bryan a heel once in the past. In 2012, at WrestleMania 28, Bryan lost his world heavyweight title against Sheamus in just 18 seconds. The objective of this shocking match was to make Bryan a nasty villain. Needless to say, this reservation has returned against us. Fans turned to Sheamus, the "Yes Movement" was launched, and two years later, Bryan was WWE's second largest merchandise seller and his most popular babyface. He became the WWE Champion in one of the most memorable moments of professional wrestling at WrestleMania. 30
Fast forward until 2018, just eight months after Bryan was allowed to fight again by a miracle, and no one could imagine that Bryan would be reserved as a stub, given that he had long been the prototype what you expect to see outsider of pro struggle. It was pretty obvious during Bryan's game against Lesnar at TLC. Despite his low impact on "The Beast" and his attitude outside the ring, Bryan was still the superstar he had been for five or six years. But with Lesnar in the rearview mirror, WWE and Bryan are doing their best to change one of the most obvious trends of 2018: that fans dictate who hoes and who are applauded, and that heeled shoes and traditional coat racks have to work extremely hard to be treated as such. .
This was perfectly illustrated by the current saga involving Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, three stars that can not really be classified as babyfaces or heels in their own right. WWE clearly wants Rousey to be treated like a foosball, but judging by what happened on Survivor Series, the company is obviously facing a difficult battle in this regard. Similarly, Flair had an unstable relationship with the WWE universe, which booed him for a week before cheering him the following week, while Lynch is a prime example of how and why. force a person with a heel to inadvertently turn it into a babyface top.
Now, WWE is on the same territory as Bryan, who plays, talks and even looks more like a stub, but plays so well in this role that fans might have a hard time responding to him as he's a traditional fight heel. But the madman, Bryan, already demonstrates that, if a superstar is talented enough (and especially if she is able to make a promo), he can return the fans against him with the right booking, no matter how popular.
In today 's WWE, some stars are leaning much more heavily towards one side of the babyface / heel alignment, with Rey Mysterio being a good example of someone who is almost a babyface. pure and Bobby Lashley excelling as a full heel. But with Bryan less than a year on the verge of being miraculously allowed to wrestle and just a week to do all that was necessary to return to the top of the mountain as a WWE champion, WWE uses what should have made it the face of the business. to turn it into the naughty No.1 clear on SmackDown instead.
Although Bryan still has shades of gray, he quickly wipes all the elements of the beloved version of The Babyface's "The American Dragon" and replaces it with a ruthless psychotic model that, in the blink of an eye, is already become the best villain of the blue brand.
