The McMahon Family Is The Best Target For the Wyatt Family

To live up to the hype—the McMahon Family might be the only target big enough for the Wyatt Family.

When we first started hearing that “they're coming” I thought Chris Jericho would be a logical choice for a first feud with the Wyatt Family. Jericho knows how to get anyone over. He can be sympathetic and heroic. He stands for everything the Wyatts seem to be against based on their promos.

Jericho, however, is in a feud with Ryback and is always a scheduling variable with his other ventures, mainly Fozzy.

The Miz is another option for the Wyatts. He's an option because he's a babyface and he has lost a lot of relevancy in the last year, compared to what he once had (main eventing WrestleMania with The Rock and John Cena). However, The Miz can't get himself over as a babyface, and he wouldn't do any good helping get the new attraction of the Wyatts over.

Randy Orton is the third option only because he's just there. He isn't contending for any titles. He won't win Money in the Bank. If he needs something important to do, first Wyatt Family feud is pretty important. But Orton would be a disappointment.

A disappointment because there has been so much hype surrounding the debut. Raw ended last week with a video for them teasing they would debut tonight. USA Network is running commercials during the week promoting the debut.

Forget single babyfaces who should be the first feud. The family that's just as crazy as the Wyatts, just in different ways, could be the best option. The McMahon Family wouldn't be a let down if they were the target of the debut segment. It just so happens, Vince, Stephanie and Triple H are all advertised to appear in the ring at the same time when they give a job evaluation to Vickie Guerrero.

For weeks we've been hearing about sheep in wolves' clothing and fear. Is there anything that makes more sense than the Wyatt Family coming for the rich family that owns WWE?

Not saying it's going to be what happens, but it does seem to be the most exciting.

Update on Where the McMahon Family Angle Is Going, How It Factors into WMXXX

Just where is the current storyline with the McMahon family going? Many people are wondering the same thing.

Vince, Stephanie and Triple H have been all over WWE television in recent times, squabbling over one thing or another. Stephanie appears to be taking charge of the Divas Division if her recent confrontation with A.J. Lee is any indication.

They've also taken to making poor Vickie Guerrero's life a living hell. Yes, thanks to the McMahon clan, Vickie Guerrero, of all people, is now one of the most sympathetic people on the show.

These segments aren't great (a group hug? Really?) and just feel like filler for the most part. But, per one report, these segments are going somewhere.

Per Dave Meltzer in this week's (subscribers-only) Wrestling Observer Newsletter, things will really get going at SummerSlam and will likely culminate at WrestleMania XXX:

The planned main angle, and it will get bigger as SummerSlam approaches and explode at some point after that for Mania, is the McMahon family angle.

Interestingly, Meltzer also disputed the claims that the USA Network, which airs Raw, is pushing for the family's involvement:

The story that they are back on TV because the USA Network wanted it is really not the case. There have been times the USA Network has wanted Vince back on television, thinking Vince helps ratings, and usually he does, although this latest return has not, given Raw is at lower numbers than at anytime in 15 years...The McMahons are there because it’s what they came up with as the key thing for the next year in creating a Mania main event.

It remains to be seen whether or not the McMahons can churn out the "big summer angle" that fans expect. As Meltzer notes, they aren't really the ratings draws they used to be.

This isn't 1999 anymore. Is it a good idea to expect the family to carry television, and pay-per-view, in the upcoming year?
