Top 5 payoffs WWE could be heading for on the road to WrestleMania 37

#2 WWE might bring The Fiend back at Fastlane

Will WWE have The Fiend return at Fastlane?

WWE wrote The Fiend off television back in December last year. While many fans thought his return would come at the Royal Rumble, that didn't happen. Interestingly enough, the Men's Royal Rumble Match came and went without a word about The Fiend. Other than Alexa Bliss' presence on RAW, The Fiend has been quite absent for several weeks now.

While WWE hasn't given an official date for The Fiend's return, it seemed obvious that he would come back at the Royal Rumble pay-per view. He could have entered the Royal Rumble Match relatively late, eliminate Randy Orton, and go on to secure his spot at WrestleMania 37.

With that being said, combined with WWE's upcoming debut on Peacock in March, it now looks like the company will hold off on the return until then. At least that way, WWE could impress its new streaming partner, offer a legitimate surprise for fans, and hopefully come up with a good path forward for The Fiend.
