10 WWE Wrestlers Who Could Be The New Fiend

What's going on with MACE?

Right as WWE's schedule increased as pandemic restrictions eased, MACE found himself with less work than ever before.

RETRIBUTION typically found themselves examining the ThunderDome lights from flat on their backs, but they were featured as Raw's biggest losers nonetheless. Following their split, Mace went from tagging with T-Bar to...nothing. He last wrestled in November 2021, missing the entire Road To WrestleMania as well as the random post-WrestleMania push.

And speaking of those, remember that time a sock puppet buzzard burst forth from a box?

Unbeknownst to a bewildered Barclays Center crowd in 2019, this strange vignette turned out to be the birth of The Fiend himself. Bray Wyatt's final match, box-like-structure-and-all might have been just as daft, but few could have predicted the gooey middle at the core of all the lore. MACE may seem a random choice for developing Fiendish traits, but he's worn a mask to protest the ills of society before. Could the next one sport The Fiend's sadistic smile?
