Bray Wyatt has been one of the most intriguing characters in WWE in recent memory. Be it his complex yet brilliant long-term storytelling or his amazing promo skills, Wyatt seems to nail the "sports entertainment" perspective of WWE the best. Interestingly, one name that has always been associated with Bray Wyatt is that of Sister Abigail.
The question of who is Sister Abigail is much more complicated than it sounds. There have been multiple theories about her origin and role in Bray Wyatt's life. The grave of Sister Abigail has been shown on several occasions on WWE programming, hinting towards the fact that she is already dead.
There have been theories of Sister Abigail being the true source of Bray Wyatt's powers. But in 2017, Bray Wyatt did something very interesting as he transformed himself into Sister Abigail during his feud with Finn Balor, leading to the speculation that she is nothing but an alter-ego of Wyatt, just like The Fiend.
But WWE is at its creative best recently when it comes to the entire Wyatt Family feud. There is a possibility that we might finally see Sister Abigail appear at WWE SummerSlam. Let's take a look at five signs for the same.
#5 The cameo of Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigail
Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman took on each other last month in a Wyatt Swamp Fight at "The Horror Show at Extreme Rules". While the cinematic match wasn't very well received by many, there was one little cameo that everyone loved and became a massive point of discussion.
Yes, it was the the cameo of Alexa Bliss who appeared during the Wyatt Swamp Fight as the reincarnation of Sister Abigail to try to lure the Monster Among Men towards Wyatt's trap. The internet went crazy over the "dark side" of the former RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion. Everyone was talking about what if she indeed became Sister Abigail?
#4 The continuous involvement of Alexa Bliss in the feud could lead to her transforming into Sister Abigail
While everyone thought that the cameo of Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigail was a one-off, WWE took things to another level. On an episode of Friday Night SmackDown a few weeks ago, The Fiend appeared and attacked Alexa Bliss with the Mandible Claw, to seemingly send a message to Braun Strowman.
This was not all, as The Fiend tried to do the same thing again next week, only for Alexa Bliss to stop him and show signs of affection towards the sinister alter-ego of Bray Wyatt. Then Braun Strowman appeared and made a bold statement that he does not care about Alexa Bliss. This past week on SmackDown, we saw the Monster Among Men attack Bliss, only for The Fiend to make the save.
Now, with the continuous involvement of Alexa Bliss in the feud between Wyatt and Strowman, there are huge chances of her being involved in their match at SummerSlam this Sunday. And what better way to take this storyline forward then for Bliss to transform into Sister Abigail and maybe help The Fiend win.
#3 Sister Abigail to persuade Braun Strowman to join Bray Wyatt?
Sister Abigail was supposed to be the power behind Bray Wyatt and the entire Wyatt Family. Braun Strowman was also once in the Wyatt Family as the "black sheep" and hence should ideally have had altercations with Sister Abigail in the Wyatt Family compound.
Now, ever since the beginning of their feud after WrestleMania 36, Bray Wyatt has expressed his desire to want his "black sheep" back by his side. But time and again, the Monster Among Men has been firm in reminding his former master that he is a free man now and can't be controlled by Wyatt anymore.
So what could be the ultimate plan from Bray Wyatt to make Braun Strowman join him? Sister Abigail can be the one to finally persuade Strowman to "let him in" and join Bray Wyatt. Similar to what Wyatt tried at Extreme Rules, Alexa Bliss could again appear as Sister Abigail at SummerSlam to convince the Monster Among Men to join his former master again.
Braun Strowman might say that he does not care about The Goddess, but we all have witnessed the "love connection" between the two during their time as Team Little Big.
#2 A new Wyatt Family with Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigail
Ever since Bray Wyatt debuted his new gimmick of the Firefly Fun House with all his puppets, there have been speculations of whether we will see a new Wyatt Family. With the involvement of Alexa Bliss, it is more likely than ever that we might see just that with her as Sister Abigail.
Fans have speculated that Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, Rambling Rabbit, Huskus the Pig Boy, and every other puppet in the Fun House is a soul trapped, which could later be revealed as a new member of the Wyatt Family. In fact, there were similarities seen between a puppet and Alexa Bliss, leading to speculations of whether Bray Wyatt already told us about the involvement of the Goddess in the storyline long ago.
The newly formed alliance between Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss might just lead to a new Wyatt Family in WWE, with Strowman possibly joining them as well. There are so many interesting possibilities that WWE could explore with this new faction and add another level of intrigue to the character of Bray Wyatt and Sister Abigail.
#1 Perfect opportunity to debut Sister Abigail
Sister Abigail might not have made her official debut for WWE yet, but fans have wanted to see the character for a long time. There is a massive lack of supernatural characters in WWE today, especially after the retirement of The Undertaker, and Bray Wyatt is arguably the top contender to be the new face of fear (no pun intended).
Right now is the perfect opportunity for WWE to finally debut Sister Abigail. There have been several teases in the past with Wyatt himself once transforming into a weird-looking Sister Abigail alter-ego, but that never came to life as he got sick and was pulled from the show at the last moment.
But could Sister Abigail finally debut at SummerSlam? An interesting logic that WWE could go behind is to have the spirit of Sister Abigail take over Alexa Bliss (horror movie stuff) which could later lead to a cinematic match between Bliss and Sister Abigail. WWE could even throw us all a curveball and introduce someone like Nikki Cross as Sister Abigail.
The possibilities are endless and there is so much more WWE could do with the entire storyline. Keep a close eye at the Universal Championship match between "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman at SummerSlam 2020.
