5 Superstars Bray Wyatt shouldn't work with on his current run

After weeks of teasing, Bray Wyatt made his long-awaited return on last week’s episode of Raw. He returned in his Fiend persona, and it appears he has chosen Finn Balor as his first victim. Wyatt has some unfinished business with Balor after their previous feud came to an abrupt end, and it makes sense that Wyatt went after Balor on his first night back.

WWE has done a commendable job in reinventing Bray Wyatt after his previous character became stale because of some lacklustre booking. Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse segments debuted on the April 22 episode of Raw and the fans were hasty in judging Wyatt’s new character. However, the real face of the Firefly Funhouse began to unfold after a few weeks, and WWE has made Bray Wyatt look creepier than ever.

Now that Bray Wyatt is back where he belongs, WWE should be very cautious on how they handle his new character in the upcoming weeks. Bray Wyatt's initial gimmick became stale because of multiple reasons, and one of those is putting him in some lacklustre feuds.

WWE should be careful in choosing Wyatt's feuds if they want to make his current run a success. Here are five Superstars Bray Wyatt shouldn't work with on his current run.

#5 Braun Strowman

This would spell doom for the Fiend!

Braun Strowman made his WWE debut as a part of the Wyatt Family. He parted ways with Bray Wyatt after getting drafted to Raw as a part of the 2016 brand extension and the Monster Among Men has been booked like an unstoppable force ever since.

The last time Bray Wyatt and Strowman came face-to-face was during the build-up to the traditional Raw vs. SmackDown elimination match at Survivor Series 2016. If WWE decides to book them into a feud once again, we could see both Superstars falling down the card in no time.

WWE needs to book Bray Wyatt in a significant spot on the card as he will be a vital player in WWE's counter-attack to AEW's competition. With latest reports suggesting WWE is planning for a monster push for Braun Strowman under the watch of Paul Heyman, booking him in a feud with Wyatt would spell doom for both Superstars.

Both Superstars can't afford to put each other over, and the best thing WWE could do is to keep Strowman & Wyatt apart as long as possible.

#4 Aleister Black

It could become a revamped version of the Woken Matt Hardy feud.

Aleister Black has a similar cult leader gimmick to Bray Wyatt's original character and is starting to build some momentum as a part of SmackDown Live. While the fans have high expectations for Aleister Black's singles career on the main roster, it could take some time before WWE finds a more significant spot for the Dutch Destroyer in the Blue brand.

When they have two Superstars with similar characters on the roster, it's natural for the backstage writers to try to pit them against each other. However, it might not be the best idea to put Bray Wyatt & Aleister Black in a similar position.

The first reason is that Aleister Black's character doesn't have the depth compared to Bray Wyatt's and the second reason is that it could produce the same result as Wyatt's feud with Woken Matt Hardy. The feud could become stale in the blink of an eye, and we could see WWE ruining both Superstars by having them become a tag team.

#3 Roman Reigns

The Big Dog & The Fiend should stay apart for as long as possible.

Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt have locked horns in the past, and it made sense for the Big Dog to stay unfazed in front of the Eater of Worlds as the latter was just a cult leader playing mind games with his opponents. However, it won't be the same case with the new Bray Wyatt.

Bray Wyatt has changed a lot since the last time he went toe to toe with the Big Dog. His new character has all it takes to give the younger members of the WWE Universe their worst nightmares, but Roman Reigns is still the same guy.

Wyatt's opponents should show some fear in their faces to make him look like a legitimate threat, but we can't expect that from the Big Dog, can we? Reigns showed no signs of fear even while facing the Undertaker, so don't expect the Big Dog to be afraid if WWE chooses to put him in a feud with Bray Wyatt.

#2 Brock Lesnar

It's better if Lesnar & Wyatt never cross each other's path.

WWE needs to keep Bray Wyatt's new character safe for as long as possible, and if Wyatt is to take a loss in a match, it shouldn't happen unless the time & opponent are right. Until then, WWE should not even think about Wyatt taking a loss.

Brock Lesnar was the one to convince Vince McMahon to have Goldberg squash him at Survivor Series 2016, so he won't have any problems putting over Bray Wyatt. However, the problem is that we can't expect a Superstar to go over the Beast Incarnate without putting him over at some point during the feud.

While the Fiend wouldn't lose much momentum by taking a loss against Lesnar but if WWE makes a mistake in the way they book the loss, it could cost them the entire effort they put into reinventing Bray Wyatt.

#1 The Undertaker

This could be the last ride to hell for the Fiend.

The Undertaker will forever remain as the face of fear in the WWE no one can take that reputation from him by defeating him in a match. WWE tried that with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31, but it was only to give the Undertaker some redemption after his WrestleMania 30 loss against Brock Lesnar.

Bray Wyatt wouldn't gain much momentum even if he beats the Undertaker fair & square in the future as the Deadman has already had the most significant loss of his career against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33.

It would've felt like a passing of the torch moment had Wyatt defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania 31, but WWE chose to give that moment to Roman Reigns instead. So it wouldn't make much sense if the Fiend decides to target the Deadman once again.

Instead of trying to erase the Undertaker's legacy, Bray Wyatt should choose to build his own. That could be the best way to establish Wyatt as WWE's next face of fear when the Deadman hangs up his boots for good.
