10 Expectations Vs. Reality For WWE Royal Rumble 2021

10. How Does The Fiend Come Back?

Expectation:

It would appear that the Fiend's ghost is inhabiting Alexa Bliss, which seems mightily redundant since he was controlling her all along, was he not? Maybe ghost powers > mind control powers. Or maybe Wyatt and Vince McMahon are making this bullsh*t up as they go along.

So perhaps he's back, and this is it. He is Alexa Bliss now, and Randy Orton Vs. Alexa Bliss is the plan for WrestleMania 37.

This isn't true. Alexa Bliss will perform a ceremony of some sort to bring him back, or he'll just come back at the Rumble rematerialised. Or maybe, since WWE is mad keen on dated references, all of these metaphysical shenanigans will create some sort of storyline inspired by '80s body swap movies. Alexa Bliss can continue to portray The Fiend, and meanwhile, Bray Wyatt plays "Five Feet of Fury" Alexa Bliss and reform Team Little Big with the drowned remains of Braun Strowman #longtermstorytelling.

Or just maybe, as Wyatt himself alluded to on Twitter in the immediate wake of...his f*cking wake, we'll see a brand new supernatural extension of the charred character. Like Freddy Krueger or something. Burnt face mask. Red and black jumper.

WWE scriptwriters are in love with the word "bitch!", so it's not beyond the realms.

Reality:

The Fiend will return with his mask burned a bit.
