5 Things WWE Should NOT Do With New Universal Champion Braun Strowman (& 5 Things They Should)
9. SHOULD NOT - Book A Feud With The Fiend Bray Wyatt Soon
WWE hit a masterstroke by allowing Bray Wyatt to use his creative ideas on the screen. The NXT graduate reinvented himself on TV with the Firefly Funhouse segments, and then he introduced the world to 'The Fiend'. The alter-ego of Wyatt has picked up significant wins against Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, and John Cena in his brief existence.
He has a ton of momentum behind him after his victory at WrestleMania 36. Thus, the writers have inserted him in the main event picture once again. A feud between The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman looks solid on paper, but the problem is, the writers would find it tough to pick a winner here.
'The Monster Among Men' has recently won the belt. His Intercontinental Championship reign was disastrous. So, Vince McMahon needs to book him as a credible champ. At the same time, booking him to win a match against 'The Fiend' might turn the fans against him. The wrestling community had earlier witnessed how the company had no idea what to do when they put Wyatt in a rivalry against the then Universal Champion, Seth Rollins, in October 2019.
Their Hell in a Cell match proved to be one of the worst in history, and when 'The Man Of 1,000 Truths' finally became the champion, many fans deemed Rollins as an over-pushed guy. Thus, Vince McMahon should not add Braun Strowman to that category. The two SmackDown Superstars can trade title one day, but not now, at least.
