#1 To honestly book The Fiend as a truly unstoppable force
With all due respect to Daniel Bryan who's going to take on The Fiend at Survivor Series, we already know that there's no way he's becoming the next Universal Champion. The Fiend is red-hot right now and while some may say that he does not actually need a Championship around his waist, it just adds an air of credence and legitimacy to the man/supernatural being overall.
To have him appear as a mythical being who can vanquish everything in his path, I do believe that it is necessary for him to pick up a lot of high profile victories. Like Survivor Series, I do not think that the Universal Championship will change hands at WWE Starrcade either.
Which means that The Fiend is in line to score a comprehensive victory at WWE Starrcade when he defeats Braun Strowman clean in the middle of the ring with a mandible claw or by escaping the cage to remain the WWE Universal Champion. Sometimes, you just have to invest in a character strongly to have him appear strong.
Even if it comes at the cost of another strong character.
