5) Bray Wyatt
Another name who I didn’t think of initially was Bray Wyatt. An interesting rumor making the rounds has caused me to change my mind.
The rumor comes from a Reddit user, who previously shared some correct information prior to the Money in the Bank PPV. The user correctly posted exactly what was going to happen with Charlotte Flair winning the Title, followed by Bayley cashing in on her. They have followed it up with a post about Stomping Grounds. Here is what they posted about Bray Wyatt as the potential special guest referee:
So, as always, feel free to not believe this if you want. However, one of the main names I’ve heard being considered for the referee spot this Sunday is Bray Wyatt.
The main idea is that it will ultimately play off of the Hurt/Heal gloves. The thought being thrown around right now is that he will “listen” to the heal side of things and make the count for Seth, but then hear the hurt side and attack him post match.
One of the reasons some don’t want him to be used as the ref is that they don’t feel he should be injected into the main event scene immediately as it would lead to them either having to have him win the Universal title soon after a return, or risk him not winning it and losing momentum right off the bat.
Bray would definitely be an interesting choice if it happens. Would put him right into the Universal Title mix.
4) Bobby Lashley
Another option for referee would be for Baron Corbin to choose his buddy, Bobby Lashley.
Lashley and Corbin have been working together on RAW for the past several months. They have been separated for the past few weeks but it has been established on WWE television that they are somewhat of a team.
It would make sense in the storyline for Corbin to bring in someone like Lashley to try and help him win the belt. Since Corbin gets to pick the referee, I have to include Lashley here.
