The Fiend may have a hidden weakness

The Firefly Fun House match this past weekend at WrestleMania was one that delighted members of the WWE Universe but it was as entertaining as it was informative. There is nothing that Bray Wyatt does by accident and it appears that the former WWE Champion may have revealed to fans what his one weakness actually is.

The walkthrough John Cena's WWE career proved that Wyatt's alter-ego thrives off the identity crisis that many WWE stars have had over the years and it was the main reason why The Fiend was able to defeat the man who was once known as The Doctor of Thugonomics.

As explained above, Goldberg was able to defeat The Fiend because he is the one opponent that Wyatt has faced that hasn't changed character throughout his career. If this really is The Fiend's hidden weakness, then there are a few current WWE stars who could exploit this newfound information.


#5. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio is currently over on Monday Night RAW, but given that at one point in his career The Fiend was attacking legends in the company, it's surprising that Rey Mysterio wasn't one of the names on his list.

If the theory regarding character changes is correct then it would be because Rey Mysterio has hardly changed his character in more than two decades, which would make him just as strong of a threat to The Fiend as Goldberg was.

Mysterio's gimmick is a simple one and he came to WWE in a time when the moves that he could do in the ring were enough to propel him to stardom. Mysterio has never even turned heel, which proves that he is someone who could challenge The Fiend in the future, if Wyatt's alter-ego ever decided to stray over to Monday Night RAW.

#4. Braun Strowman

The current Universal Champion has come a long way since the time he was spotted as a member of Adam Rose's Rosebuds in NXT. As a member of The Wyatt Family, he was the brute force that allowed the group to overcome the threat of The Shield, and as a former member of Wyatt's family, he would obviously be someone who could be The Fiend's weakness.

Since his departure from The Wyatt Family, Braun and Bray haven't crossed paths many times, but when they have, it's obvious that there is still a connection.

As noted, it appears that the weakness comes from the lack of trust in their own identity and Strowman is obviously happy with the character he has become. It would be a fantastic twist if Strowman was the one who was able to help Wyatt escape the Fun House world that he has been kept in by The Fiend, but since he's currently occupied with being the Universal Champion, it appears that this showdown may not come around for a while.

#3. Randy Orton

Randy Orton may be seen as a strange addition to the list since he has gone through several phases since he first walked through the doors in WWE. Orton was once known as The Viper, or The Legend Killer and is now The Apex Predator, but technically all of these nicknames are the same thing.

Orton has always been fixated on being the best, he comes from a family of wrestlers and of course when he first debuted in the company he knew that he had a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Accolades were needed to prove that he was good enough to continue his family's legacy and Orton has more than proved this.

As a man over the years, he has evolved but his character has remained the same, he's always been focused on being the best star in the company whether that's as a face or a heel. Orton has evolved, and in doing so he has proved that he is no longer struggling with his identity.

Once again, Orton is on Monday Night RAW, but The Fiend is his own entity and if he wants to head over to RAW then there are not many people who can stop him.

#2. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns hasn't been in the business for very long and when he first debuted in WWE he was known as Roman Leakee. Reigns later went on to find his feet as a member of The Shield, which was when he changed his name and adopted his current persona.

Whilst Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have gone on to have a number of personality changes in recent years ever since The Shield split back in 2014, Reigns has continued to portray the same character that he was seen as throughout their spree.

For a long time, Reigns wore the same attire that he did in the unit and still uses The Shield's entrance theme, which shows that even though at one point he struggled to find his feet and his real identity in the ring, he knows who he is right now.

Reigns technically has had the one change from Leakee to the persona he is known as today, but at the same time, the former World Champion looks happy with his current identity which means it's not something that The Fiend could use to exploit him.

#1. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is currently reeling after losing his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre and probably won't be seen on WWE TV for a while now whilst he heads back home for some downtime.

Whilst The Beast is at home licking his wounds following his WrestleMania loss, he can live safe in the knowledge that he is just one of a handful of current WWE stars who would be able to defeat The Fiend in one-on-one competition.

Goldberg is the only man to ever achieve this and it's because he had never thought about changing his personality. Brock Lesnar has never been seen as anything other than the beast that he currently portrays.

Lesnar has become so good at playing his character in WWE that he can now be seen as both face and heel by the WWE Universe at any one time. Whilst he is a very different man compared to the one who debuted in WWE in the early 2000s, this is merely an evolution of him as a person and so just an extension of the character that he always was.
