Wrestling Wrap Up: Bray Uses Undertaker and Kane’s Powers
As we head into Survivor Series - a PPV event that used to be one of the "Big 4" and has since all but dropped its original gimmickry and become just another show amongst the rabble - it looks like Bray Wyatt's now capable of utilizing Kane and Undertaker's respective powers for evil.

Now he's been granted the power of impractical pyro!
