10 Unbelievable Wrestling Fan Theories
Analysing, amongst others, conspiracy-like structures surrounding the Fiend and Alexa Bliss.
Any fandom breeds tribalism.
The things that some people enjoy - people that are predisposed to flights of fancy - shape their identity. They grow loyal to something that provides them with an escape and ultimately, a purpose. That thing becomes of fundamental importance to their life. It can't then be bad, because by this warped point, the personality and the thing that person really, really likes are almost indistinguishable.
They then make sense of the inexplicable, using reconciliation as a coping mechanism almost. Everything has to make sense, even if nothing does. They're buying Fiend replica belts now, man. Those thousands of dollars can't have been spent in vain. The investment is too much. The Fiend has a secret urn that powers him and he forgot to take it with him to Saudi Arabia that one time. Yeah, that explains it.
Unfortunately for them, that's not how the real world works.
No, terrifying world-governing molester cabals don't operate out of pizza joints. No, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do not use robotic doppelgängers to fulfil their public commitments.
No, the Fiend doesn't change whomever he comes into contact with...
10. The Lore Of The Fiend
It is said that everybody the Fiend comes into contact with "changes".
This is a key element of - for f*ck's sake - the 'Lore of the Fiend', a mythology that by definition posits the theory that everything Bray Wyatt does is a well thought-out beat in an overarching story. Bray Wyatt is likely trying to make this a "thing," but WWE in its content factory era is as unwilling as it is incapable of such an ambitious endeavour. This works only as a homonym. The Law of the Fiend is the name of the entrapment project undertaken by the FBI, looking at the childlike state of Alexa Bliss.
Seth Rollins didn't turn heel because he came into contact with the Fiend. Well, he did, but that wasn't by some grand design. He pissed his pants at a clown mask and everybody thought he was a dork. He had to turn heel.
Daniel Bryan got a haircut and looked uninterested for some time. Braun Strowman, attacked on RAW in September 2019, was dancing with the New Day on SmackDown in December. The Fiend "changed" him into somebody "who just loves to entertain!"
Jesus Christ, man. In WWE, there are literally middle management figures more evil than the Fiend.
