5 Biggest rumors following WWE Crown Jewel: Bad news for former US Champion's career, Reason behind The Fiend becoming Champion & more

#4 Reason why Bray Wyatt finally won the Universal Championship

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt has succeeded in capturing the imagination of fans all across the world, and has become one of the most popular acts in WWE in a short span of time.

While many expected Wyatt to become the Universal Champion at Hell in a Cell itself, the company went for a faux finish which led to a severe backlash from the WWE Universe. However, the company rectified their mistake by making The Fiend Universal Champion at Crown Jewel.

This came as a surprising booking decision, as Wyatt winning the Universal Championship resulted in SmackDown having two World Champions, given the fact that Brock Lesnar was already signed to SmackDown and held the WWE Championship.

Cagesideseats had reported before SmackDown:

There’s some speculation that the Bray Wyatt Universal title win could be a set up for a big trade between Raw and SmackDown.

Brock Lesnar announced on SmackDown that he will quit the Blue Brand and be heading to RAW, which further heightens the possibility of a trade happening in the near future.
