How The Fiend Could Affect These 8 WWE Superstars

1. The Undertaker

Given the dark and often sinister nature of their two characters, it seems like only a matter of time before Bray Wyatt and his 'Fiend' persona come face-to-face with the Undertaker. While Wyatt and the Phenom have danced before - WrestleMania 31 instantly springing to mind - that was before the Eater of Worlds unleashed The Fiend.

While tangling with the Deadman once more would clearly benefit Wyatt, it could similarly be a perfect scenario for an Undertaker who's winding down his in-ring career.

Should The Undertaker finally be about to call time on his career, having 'Taker go out with his American Badass persona would be more in tune with the real-life Mark Calaway. This would also afford the man behind the gimmick the chance to speak directly to his fans in a sincere fashion that's not bogged down by the usual "Rest... in... peace" shtick that the Phenom's promos are so often laced in.

The Undertaker is rightly placed on a pedestal by the wrestling world, yet he's somebody whose gimmick has often restricted him from being able to directly address an audience.

By reverting to something more akin to the American Badass or Big Evil - courtesy of The Fiend - it could afford 'Taker the chance to speak in a way more fitting to his real-life personality as he embarks on a swansong of sorts before calling time on one of the greatest careers in the history of the business.
