10 WWE Wrestlers Who Could Be The New Fiend

9. Shotzi

Cody Rhodes Fiend

The green-haired SmackDown star's got a black heart, this much we know. Or we did, until WWE robbed her of a surname upon arrival on the main roster.

This needless change was made worse for the rationale dissolving just as rapidly. "Shotzi & Nox" was thought to be catchier than Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox, but this syllabic stupidity was rendered irrelevant after Nox was released following their call-up. Maybe all of this had something to do with Shotzi's heel turn on Sasha Banks as her singles run kicked off. Maybe, because WWE never bothered to flesh any of that out either.

Lined up like that, it's easy to see why Shotzi could easily veer off to that dark place. The same place that sent Seth Rollins off the deep end, sent Finn Bálor back to NXT and sent Alexa Bliss on to the swings. If WWE have any of that green goo left from the Shane McMahon/Braun Strowman angle last spring, her conversion would be complete.
