Bray Wyatt could retire the Undertaker once and for all in the coming months.

At Hell in a Cell, The Fiend will challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship inside the demonic structure. Bray Wyatt's alter-ego, The Fiend, has been wrecking havoc on RAW in recent weeks, and the destruction will only continue in the weeks ahead.

Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins are currently fighting during WWE live events, and their matches have ended in DQ on all occasions. The company isn't likely to put the championship on Bray Wyatt so soon, and Wyatt taking a loss in highly unlikely.

Considering this dilemma, WWE may look to have an odd finish between Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt, and a popular name just might return during the match.

Bray Wyatt previously faced The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 31, and was unsuccessful in his attempt to become the new 'Lord of Darkness.' What if The Undertaker looks to once again block Wyatt's attempt to unseat him as WWE's newest face of darkness?

We look at five reasons why the The Undertaker and The Fiend could cross paths at Hell in a Cell 2019.


#5: A Secret Message on Firefly Fun House

Could the 11:19 signify a showdown between the two dark personalities?
Could the 11:19 signify a showdown between the two dark personalities?

Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House segments have always been well-written and have clues hidden throughout the program. In a recent episode, Bray Wyatt fixed a clock, which was stuck on 03:16 (referring to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's iconic promo). After fixing it, the clock showed '11:19', which is the date The Undertaker wrestled his first WWE match.

Theories spread like wildfire, and led many to believe that a confrontation between Wyatt and 'The Deadman' was imminent. If that is the case, The Undertaker might interrupt the Hell in a Cell Match between Rollins and The Fiend. In doing so, he would kick off a brand new era of professional wrestling and the two men might clash at the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view.

#4: Revenge for his brother

The Undertaker's kayfabe brother, Kane, was the victim of a brutal assault by the Fiend last week on RAW. Kane returned to WWE programming after nearly a year, and helped Seth Rollins fend off The OC, Robert Roode, and Dolph Ziggler.

After taking out all five WWE Superstars, Kane tried to do his signature pose, but was interrupted by The Fiend. Wyatt hit 'The Devil's Favorite Demon' with a mandible claw to end the show.

This likely won't sit well with The Undertaker, who last teamed with Kane at Crown Jewel 2018 against Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

The Undertaker could return at Hell in a Cell to exact revenge for this unprovoked attack, and this could all lead to a full-fledged battle between the two. Bray Wyatt has destroyed several legends in the past few months and The Undertaker could join the long list of Fiend's victims.

#3: RAW needs stars

The Wild Card Rule will come to an end soon, which means the brand split will once again become meaningful. RAW and SmackDown Superstars won't interact with each other anymore and that could deprive one show of its top talents.

Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns are advertised for SmackDown events in the coming weeks, which might confirm their long term presence on the Blue Brand. This leaves Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and The Fiend as the only top guys on Monday nights.

The Undertaker returning for one final run could ensure that RAW doesn't take a massive dip in ratings, and is able to compensate for the loss of several top Superstars to Smackdown on FOX.

#2: The Fiend is a novelty act

The Fiend has been presented as an unstoppable force. No Superstar has been able to get the better of Wyatt's new persona and giving him a loss on a major show could effectively kill all his momentum.

The Fiend has wrestled just one match on WWE television, a win over Finn Balor at Summerslam. Ever since then, The Fiend has wrestled at live events and dark matches, but is yet to compete in a match on WWE programming.

Wyatt's mystique will be squashed, if Seth Rollins overpowers him and stomps his way to a win. WWE needs to protect The Fiend and keep the Universal Championship on Rollins. There is no better way than to bring back 'The Deadman' as The Fiend's newest nemesis.

The Undertaker has been used this way before. In 2015, he interrupted Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins to setup a feud with Lesnar. This could all happen the same way this Sunday at Hell in a Cell.

#1: A send-off for the ages

A final hurrah for the Undertaker?

WWE is often criticized for its inability to create new stars. At WrestleMania 35, Kurt Angle was defeated in the final match of his career by the unpopular Baron Corbin. This left many fans both unsatisfied and angry.

Hopefully, WWE doesn't make the same mistake with The Undertaker. Having spent nearly three decades with the company, 'The Deadman' deserves a proper farewell. The person who ends his career will become an instant legend.

WWE could kill two birds with one stone by having The Undertaker feud with The Fiend. The Undertaker could effectively pass the torch to Wyatt, and The Fiend might just become wrestling's newest macabre phenomenon.
