7 Potential Feuds For The Fiend After WWE SummerSlam 2019

Ever since the Firefly Fun House first debuted back in April, it has taken the wrestling world by storm, transforming Wyatt from a disappointing “what could have been” to a brand new, reinvented and massively over talent. He quite literally took a chainsaw to his old character, and decapitated it. From the looks of his SummerSlam entrance, he now carries it as a lantern to light his path to the ring. Now that is some great symbolic storytelling right there.

This reimagining of Bray has lead to some excellent angles and very well written character work so far. The Fiend made his in ring debut at SummerSlam and it was (sort of) exactly the squash match we imagined.

Finn will be leaving our screens for a while after this, and probably should've suffered a more hellacious beat-down. But we get what we get, and the entrance alone made for a great debut. Nevertheless the question becomes after this logical first step: how will WWE book him from here?

Remember that WWE’s booking is what killed Bray Wyatt and his family off the first time. Either that or creative trying to force him to crossdress. Either way, the result is the same. This character needs some worthy opponents, and he needs to crush them all with in his gloved hand aptly labelled “hurt”. But who does he hurt along the way? And more importantly, who will let him in?

Well, you wanted a fight Aleister. Although you may regret taking this one.

After Cesaro knocked on Black’s door and Zayn was squashed before SummerSlam even started, Aleister is a bit wide open right now. However, pitting him against Wyatt could be a bit of a momentum killer for Black and this push he is on. At the same time, with the aura Bray has created along with the buzz around it, it may actually further Aleister along.

The Fiend should probably be in a lot of squash matches after his match with Finn at SummerSlam. But allowing Black to look fearless up against The Fiend will sell his occult badass gimmick perfectly. Simply having the courage to look a bonafide horror movie villain right in the eyes? That will sell Aleister as a man to be feared as well.

And with Aleister quickly building a reputation as a 5 star match waiting to happen, this could be a good first test of The Fiend’s in ring skills. Yet at the same time we shouldn’t be testing him too much.

This should still end up being rather short, with Bray coming out on top. Think a sort of retelling of when William Regal put Goldberg to the test on his winning streak. This is one of those rare circumstances where Wyatt and his new character are so over, that even squashing people will put them over.
