>>9118472>WTF was the point of having Howdy attack Bray in the first place??To get Bray to give in to his vices. Bray is a junkie, only it's not drugs he's addicted to, it's feeling powerful. Bray told you himself that wearing the Fiend mask made him feel invincible and how intoxicating it was. He said wearing it caused him to destroy everything he loved, so he needs to be a better person now.
Howdy wants Bray to wear the mask and never take it off. He said it himself. Bray was reluctant but week after week the cracks started to show. He snapped at that mail guy that interrupted him. He snapped at the cameraman who got too close. Knight slapped him twice and tod him to shove his advice up his ass. The fans didn't believe Bray when he told us all he wasn't Howdy. Bray started to lose it but not enough, so Howdy attacked Bray as well.
That was the straw that broke the camels back. Bray stopped trying to be a better man and went back to his old habits. He brought back the rocking chair. He brought back the funhouse. He stopped telling the fans he loved them, instead he told his opponents to run and promised them a monster. He even went back to wearing a mask.
Howdy is playing Bray like a fiddle. He's teamed with him now because Bray's being a good little boy and wearing a mask and hurting people again. Howdy is doing the same thing with Alexa and trying to get her to 'revel in what she is' and bringing Lilly back.
People assume that Wyatt will be the leader of his faction, but it's Howdy. And the story will be everyone finally breaking free from Howdy.
(Howdy is going to be revealed as Bo Dallas, preying on his brother's fragile mental state to be the most successful member of his wrestling family. That's why Bray brought up being a Rotunda in Saudi Arabia.)
