After a couple of weeks of strange vignettes, Bray Wyatt's latest character was finally revealed on this week's Raw and well, it was interesting, to say the least.

Wyatt's new character appears to be a strange cross between Fred Rogers and Pennywise, with the former WWE Champion being cast as the host of a creepy new TV show- 'Firefly Fun House'.

It remains unclear as to exactly when Wyatt and his new personality will make their in-ring debut on Raw, but one thing is for sure, the unveiling has certainly gotten fans talking.

At this stage, Wyatt's new character could go one of two ways, with the WWE Universe either lapping it up, or rejecting it totally.

The ambiguity of the character presents some interesting options for Wyatt going forward though, and getting his first opponent right will go a long way in establishing this new character.

Let's take a look at five superstars who could provide Wyatt with the perfect debut feud for his new character.


#5: The Miz

The Miz's recent run as a face on SmackDown Live helped to boost him up the card on Tuesday nights, and the company will want to try and keep some of that momentum going on his new home on Raw.

It still remains unclear as to whether The Miz is going to finish off his feud with Shane McMahon, but if that is not to be the case, then he could make the perfect debut feud for Bray Wyatt's new character.

The Miz's recent face turn has largely revolved around his transformation into a family man, and given the fact that Wyatt's new character appears to be a children's television host, these two characters could really help to build one another in the coming weeks and months.

Not only that, but both of these men are exceptional performers on the mic, and an extended program between the duo could really help establish them both as top level performers on the new Raw landscape.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Bray Wyatt's new character, apart from the fact that it appears to be absolutely insane, is that it looks as though it is going to have a degree of ambiguity in terms of being a face/heel.

At one point in the promo, Wyatt holds up gloves to his face, one which says hate and the other which says heal.

While having a character switch between being a face and a heel would be a bold move, Wyatt is more than capable of pulling that off, and a feud with Sami Zayn to cement that position could be a smart move.

Zayn's current gimmick is basically running down the WWE Universe, and having Wyatt come out to defend them,only to constantly switch between the two roles, could be fascinating to watch.

The two men are both excellent character workers and they would also no doubt be able to get the best out of one another between the ropes as well.

#3: Ricochet

With Aleister Black having been moved back to SmackDown apropos of nothing, his former tag-partner, Ricochet, is now left with no clear sense of direction on Raw.

The former NXT North American Champion came out on the losing end of a match with the newly renamed Robert Roode on this week's Raw and fans will no doubt begin to be fearing the worse for the former NJPW star.

What Ricochet needs is a high profile feud and one with a returning Bray Wyatt could provide him with just that.

Wyatt's character has certainly gotten people talking, and while neither man should really come out on the losing side of this feud, a run of matches with some clever booking could help give both men some momentum in their new homes.

It would also be a fresh match-up for Wyatt, who has effectively worked his way through every major feud he could have over the last five or six years.

#2: Eric Young

How do you solve a problem like Eric Young? The former Impact and NXT star has been totally wasted since being moved to the main roster, and to add insult to injury, his stable, Sanity, has been broken up thanks to the Superstar ShakeUp.

Not all hope is lost though. Young is one of the most charismatic performers on the WWE roster and his move to Raw may present the WWE with a chance to rectify his character.

Given the fact that both Wyatt and Young have both been booked as almost cult-leader style characters in the past, a feud between these two men could prove to be one that really helps both men get over with their new characters.

Even if Young is booked to come out on the losing end of this feud, at least fans will finally get a chance to see him doing something interesting on television.

#1: Rey Mysterio

From what we've seen of Bray Wyatt's new character so far, it looks as though he is going to be the kind of thing that children's nightmares are made of, and if that is the case, then children everywhere are going to need a superhero to come along and defeat him.

Wyatt and Mysterio are two of the most accomplished performers on the Raw roster, and at this stage in his career, Mysterio should be all about putting over other performers.

Wyatt is in need of a big win to get some momentum going, and having him defeat Mysterio over the series of a few good matches should help him achieve just that.

The two men are both incredibly competent in-ring performers and a feud between the two, especially one built around Wyatt's creepy new gimmick should be something fresh and interesting for both of these performers.
