3 Reasons why The Fiend Bray Wyatt is ready to become Universal Champion, and 3 reasons why he might not be

Wyatt isn't ready #1: He's too popular for a heel

Fans love the Firefly Funhouse so much they chant "Yowie Wowie"

Okay, we can all blame the New World Order for setting the precedent that heel wrestlers can be 'cool.' It was the Monday Night Wars, after all, and anything that worked was going to get pushed to the moon.

The same story could be found on RAW, where Stone Cold Steve Austin was a tremendously over babyface, despite the cheating, drinking, cursing, and giving non-wrestlers Stone Cold Stunners left and right.

But the times have changed, and a more traditional divide between face and heel is the norm in pro wrestling--or it was, until Bray Wyatt made his return with the new Firefly Funhouse character.

At Hell in a Cell 2019, Seth Rollins is supposed to be the babyface hero, but it's expected by most people that Bray Wyatt's The Fiend character will enjoy most of the crowd support. This isn't a desirable, or maintainable, practice to continue.
