5 ways Bray Wyatt can make his AEW debut: Rivalry renewed with ex-WWE star, new leader of popular faction

Bray Wyatt's next wrestling destination has become one of the hottest topics in pro wrestling today. The Eater of Worlds was arguably the most surprising WWE release this year.

At this point, a possible move to All Elite Wrestling makes the most sense, especially when Tony Khan's promotion has become a rising juggernaut in just two years of its inception. Given Wyatt's creative genius in and out of the ring, he could be a great addition to the already star-studded roster.

Numerous recent reports swirling have suggested his next possible move. Last month, fans expected Wyatt to show up on the Dynamite episode, produced as a tribute to his late friend Brodie Lee. However, that ended up becoming mere talk.

Fightful Select has reported that IMPACT Wrestling has shown interest in signing the former Universal Champion. Despite these reports, Tony Khan isn't likely to let go of soon to be the biggest free agent in the wrestling market.

Now, without further ado, let's take a look at five ways Bray Wyatt can make his AEW debut.

#5 AEW start making cryptic vignettes hinting at Bray Wyatt's arrival

Bray Wyatt holds a unique persona, which is why his AEW debut shouldn't be like every other ex-WWE Superstar arrival that shockingly showed up to interrupt someone in the main event.

If we recall any of the recent arrivals, be it CM Punk or Bryan Danielson, it was possibly the worst kept secret among fans. But Tony Khan will have the opportunity to build on the anticipation and hype surrounding Wyatt's debut.

The company can start showing cryptic vignettes on Dynamite episodes every week, thus keeping fans in bated breath. AEW certainly gives wrestlers significant creative control over their on-screen characters.

Wyatt may not have the rights to his Fiend character, but he could always bring something similar or even more spooky. Through vignettes, he can show a dark entity coming back to life.

When the time is right, Bray Wyatt could eventually show up and put the entire locker room on notice.

#4 Bray Wyatt can reignite his feud with Bryan Danielson in AEW

AEW could set the wrestling world ablaze by having Bray Wyatt target his old foe, Bryan Danielson. Both men have an enormous history with each other, dating back to their time in WWE.

Bryan, being an in-ring technician, tends to bring out the best in his opponents. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that The American Dragon played a pivotal role in making The Fiend an unstoppable force.

The Eater of the Worlds would need an opponent of his caliber to kickstart his All Elite Wrestling career, and there's currently no one better than Bryan. Their potential feud could take the internet by storm.

#3 Bray Wyatt confronts Kenny Omega or Hangman Page at AEW Full Gear

It could be a long shot, but Bray Wyatt confronting Kenny Omega or Hangman Page at Full Gear would give goosebumps to everyone watching. Even if Page vs. Omega hasn't been officially announced yet for next month's pay-per-view, the storyline direction has confirmed their next meeting.

The Cowboy recently won a Casino Ladder match to earn a shot at Kenny Omega's AEW world title. Regardless of who wins, the company could bring Wyatt to confront either of them. Tony Khan's promotion could end the show with a cliffhanger, sending fans into a frenzy.

The former WWE Superstar could be the next contender for the coveted title. With recent arrivals, one thing is for sure that exceptions are there in AEW. Moreover, a man of his stature would be a better fit into the main event scene right away.

#2 Malakai Black could meet the original face of fear in Bray Wyatt

Has AEW ever produced a storyline between two terrifying-looking wrestlers since its inception? The answer is no because apart from Malakai Black, there hasn't been another star of a similarly sadistic gimmick.

But that could change if Bray Wyatt joins All Elite Wrestling. That said, one of the biggest feuds the company could pull the trigger on would be between Wyatt and Black. It was a dream match for many fans when both men were working in WWE. Now, if destiny brings them on the same path again, their rivalry will be inevitable.

Even though both men aren't technically sound in the ring, their promo work and face-to-face confrontation will easily sell the story to fans. The Eater of the Worlds could also hand Black his first loss in AEW.

#1 Bray Wyatt becomes the new leader of The Dark Order

Bray Wyatt becoming the leader of The Dark Order would be a feel-good moment for AEW fans. Since the sad demise of Brodie Lee last year, the faction has been languishing without a proper leader.

Things escalated to such an extent that they gradually started to split until Brodie Lee's wife, Amanda Huber, interjected to settle their differences on an episode of Dynamite last month. Even though the group is back together now, they still don't seem to be on the same page.

The dissension in The Dark Order may kickstart again somewhere down the road. However, it could set the perfect time and place for Wyatt to pick up the pieces.

If there's any guy that fans would accept as the leader of the faction, it will be The Eater of the Worlds.

Wyatt and Lee worked together in The Wyatt Family, starting from NXT to the main roster back in the day. The former could give a fitting tribute by leading a stable that Brodie Lee created.
