At SummerSlam, Bray Wyatt returned to in-ring action as The Fiend in a singles match against a familiar foe in Finn Balor. The Fiend's terrifying entrance had the fans buzzing and the crowd was excitied to watch the monster in action. Balor suffered the fury of The Fiend in the worst way as the latter dismantled the former in very little time.

It's not only Balor that has suffered pain and agony at the hands of Wyatt. A bunch of Hall of Famers have been attacked by him. Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, and Jerry Lawler were all attacked by The Fiend with the Mandible Claw. Needless to say, The Fiend has struck fear in the hearts of fans and stars in a disturbing way. Within a matter of weeks, he has established himself as a formidable force.

Bray Wyatt has become relevant as The Fiend and fans have never been so interested in the heavyweight before. Firefly Fun House was received well by the fans, but The Fiend has left them in awe.

Given his stellar in-ring prowess and unique character, there are many intriguing possibilities for The Fiend. WWE has an extremely loaded roster with undeniable talent and charisma. Hence, many stars could prove to be great opponents for Wyatt's alter-ego.

With that said, let's take a look at 3 dream opponents for The Fiend.


3. "The Demon" Finn Balor

Although The Fiend ran roughshod over Balor in his debut match at SummerSlam, he is yet to face The Demon. Taking nothing away from the extraordinary man, The Demon is something truly special and mesmerizing. When Balor dons the demonic face paint and taps into his inner demons, he brings out a vicious and vile side of himself.

The Demon is one of the most protected characters on the main roster, which is why it is used so sparingly. Balor's alter-ego is undefeated on the main roster and has an extremely impressive resume. The Demon has never been pinned or submitted on the main roster and Balor has found so much glory and success while donning this unique persona.

The Fiend versus The Demon has the making of a must-watch rivalry. The two have similar characters and could play out to be a great story.

2. Aleister Black

Speaking of mysterious and eerie personas, Aleister Black is one of the most mystical characters on the main roster. He is a man of few words and lets his actions do the talking for him. An aura of darkness and mystique surrounds Black wherever he goes. The Dutch Destroyer is one of the most feared strikers in the world, and his mind-games always drive his opponents mad.

Much like The Demon and The Fiend, Black is one of the most protected stars on the main roster. The former NXT Champion is unbeaten on the main roster in singles competition, having defeated the likes of Sami Zayn and Cesaro.

Both Black and The Fiend love to play mind-games, both try to scare the living daylights out of their opponents and both are incredibly talented competitors. There are an abundance of similarities between the two. With so many similarities between Black and Wyatt, a rivalry between them sounds like a very interesting notion.

3. The Undertaker

No one has ever paralyzed the audience with immense fear as The Undertaker has. When The Phenom stands across the ring from his opponent, you could see Taker's opponent tremble and shudder in fear. Taker has long been considered as one of WWE's best stars and he is a definite future Hall of Famer, but his character is one of WWE's greatest creations.

Many like The Boogeyman, Kane, Papa Shango and Mankind have terrified fans across the globe, but none have had the terrifying the impact upon the audience like the Deadman has. However, Taker has finally found some competition in the form of The Fiend, who has instantly cast his dark shadow over the WWE Universe in a horrifying way.

According to recent reports, WWE is concerned The Fiend persona is "too scary" for the younger audience. That is how frightening and dreadful Wyatt has been as The Fiend. Wyatt and Taker have crossed paths before, and Taker emerged victorious in their one-on-one encounter at WrestleMania 31. Given their history together, there's no love lost between these two.

The Fiend versus The Phenom is a blockbuster dream match that would arouse great interest from fans. Taker could put over Wyatt, who could then take over Taker's yard as the Reaper.
