3 things WWE must avoid doing with The Fiend

Bray Wyatt has been a hot subject of discussion in the WWE Universe ever since he brought his alter ego, 'the Fiend', to the forefront. At first, 'The Deleter of The Worlds' cut a lot of outlandish promos in his 'Firefly Fun House', which were critically praised.

At that time, one of the things that kept circulating continuously was the fact that Wyatt was about to bring something out of the box to us. After targeting Finn Balor on his arrival, the alter-ego of his targeted two WWE legends for no reason in the following weeks. This created an altogether different sense of excitement in the WWE Universe.

So far, The Fiend's demeanor has been very mysterious. He has been targeting veterans, and then surprisingly apologizing to them on social media. There have been all sorts of discussions about his new character.

Bray Wyatt is the only wrestler who can attract people in this kind of gimmick, in an age where kayfabe doesn't exist. He was a major driving force behind the resounding success of the Wyatt Family.

Here, in this article, I am going to discuss the things WWE must avoid doing with the Fiend to keep him relevant for long.

#3 Handing him clean losses

This would deteriorate his credibility

The character of The Fiend is that of a demon with dark powers. A wrestler, no matter how brilliant in the ring, is an ordinary person.

Repeated defeats from a normal person tend to deplete the credibility of such a demonic character, especially if the defeat is caused by a submission or pinfall.

The WWE Universe wouldn't buy into the defeats of a demon by a man. Thus, The Fiend should not be presented as an underdog but a dangerous monster.

So WWE management must think twice before they hand clean losses to Bray Wyatt.

#2 Making The Fiend wrestle too frequently

Bray Wyatt has been one of the best storytellers in the wrestling business

Bray Wyatt is undoubtedly a great wrestler. However, instead of the in-ring work, the character work done by the Deleter of the Worlds has always been more appreciated. He has been cutting excellent promos, and his sneak attacks have added a sense of danger and edge to his dark character.

By competing regularly, The Fiend will lose his novelty fast. So the WWE should make him wrestle only when it's must, and let him continue with his excellent character work. It may be a better option for him to fight on the PPVs, than doing it every week. This will give him a good chance to show his much-acclaimed charismatic side, keeping him relevant for long.

#1 Immediate rivalry with main card babyfaces

This wouldn't be good

The WWE Creative must not put The Fiend in the feuds with a big babyface Superstar in the near future.

The Creative should put him in the storylines with the mid-card wrestlers, in which he can torture them for a long time and make them look pitiable. If necessary, the opponents should be granted wins only via DQ, where The Fiend lets and disqualifies himself.

This will generate sympathy for his opponents, and prepare The Fiend's character for the main event. Him targeting more than one mid-card wrestler at the same time can also be a good option.

As we all know, the storyline with babyfaces won't end until The Fiend is defeated clean a few times. After being pinned by a babyface, the devilish character will lose its charm and people might not take any interest in the further storylines. So, the WWE should not show any urgency in this context.
