5 Superstars The Fiend could target next after WrestleMania 36

Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt has had a tremendous year or so as The Fiend, which has quickly become one of the most interesting and multi-layered characters in WWE. Several top Superstars have fallen victim to The Fiend, from Finn Balor to Seth Rollins, and more recently, Daniel Bryan.

The Fiend has had one major hiccup in the last few months, his loss to Goldberg at Super ShowDown, which ended his reign as Universal Champion. But, The Fiend will have a high-profile match at WrestleMania 36 as he faces off against John Cena in a Firefly Fun House match.

We are certain that the feud with Cena will end at The Show of Shows; who could The Fiend face after that match?

Let's take a look at 5 Superstars The Fiend could target next after WrestleMania 36:

#5 Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy returned to WWE television recently after a hiatus due to injury and a few personal issues. The WWE legend, unlike his brother Matt, still has some time on his contract and he will most likely still be in WWE in 2020.

Hardy recently revealed that he wants to face The Fiend and that he has many ideas for a potential match with the former Universal Champion. During a recent appearance on The Bump, he was asked whom he would like to wrestle and this is what Hardy had to say:

“I’ve got a lot of crazy ideas and people who’ve asked me the last few months, ‘Who do you want to wrestle that you’ve never wrestled?’ and I’ve been just going, ‘Oh, Roman Reigns.’ But I keep forgetting, man, 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. I have all these crazy ideas that could move forward into this abstract world between the two of us, so definitely 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt is a huge dream match of mine.”

A feud between Hardy and The Fiend could be very interesting as the latter has used his opponent's personal life to weave stories for his Firefly Funhouse segments. While, The Bray Wyatt's association with Jeff's brother, Matt, before he became The Fiend could also be used.

#4 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36 against this year's men's Royal Rumble winner, Drew McIntyre. It will be interesting to see what WWE does with Lesnar if The Beast does lose the title. Lesnar without a top title means that he may not be used on WWE television, and we could see him taking a few months off.

One match that WWE will be foolish not to have this year is between two former Universal Champions - Brock Lesnar and The Fiend. WWE could have had this match last year at Survivor Series when Lesnar was the WWE Champion and The Fiend was the Universal Champion. Instead, Lesnar faced Rey Mysterio and The Fiend faced Daniel Bryan.

For Lesnar to face The Fiend, he will have to move to RAW, which is a possibility, considering the Superstar Shake-Up should happen soon. This is a match that could headline WrestleMania, but if WWE wants to bring back crowds and interest, they could possibly hold it at SummerSlam, in August.

#3 Braun Strowman

The Fiend and Braun Strowman faced off at Starrcade 2019

Braun Strowman is rumored to be Goldberg's opponent for WrestleMania 36 after Roman Reigns pulled out of the event. The Monster Among Men, who had a great 2018 and was pipped to hold aloft the Universal title when he was on RAW, didn't have a great 2019.

But, he could turn things around for himself this year, if he can win the title at The Show of Shows. If he does win, it would set it up beautifully for a feud against his former Wyatt Family partner, The Fiend. Wyatt and Strowman are close friends in real life and they could use that bond to put on a great story on SmackDown.

The two faced off at Starrcade in December last year, but that was a one-off match with no real storyline. A feud between the two could also help WWE eventually put on a match between The Fiend and Roman Reigns, which is what their final goal has been for a while now.

#2 Roman Reigns

Speaking of The Big Dog, a feud between Roman Reigns and The Fiend will certainly happen later this year. It seems that Reigns may not be on WWE television at least till the coronavirus pandemic dies down.

Perhaps this would be the perfect time for WWE to give The Fiend a break too as he has been on WWE television constantly over the last six months or so, and at the top of the card. This would give Wyatt time to reinvent and add new things to his character.

In an interview with Pro Wrestling Sheet last month, Reigns revealed that he would rather face The Fiend than Goldberg.

“From a completely honest standpoint, I would much rather face ‘The Fiend’. He’s busted his ass all year long for it. No offense to Goldberg, I think he’s a great performer, he’s a great Superstar, but I’m into the future right now.”

Reigns and The Fiend is a match that could be for the Universal title later this year, and perhaps SummerSlam is the perfect place for this match to happen at.

#1 The Undertaker

Another match that HAS to happen for The Fiend is against The Undertaker. A lot of fans have compared The Fiend's gimmick to that of The Undertaker, which is good enough reason for a match between the two to take place.

The Phenom, who faces AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, probably has just a few matches remaining in his locker before he calls it quits, and this is one that has to be at the top of his list.

There's already some back story that the WWE can use to set-up this feud. Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker faced each other at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 after Wyatt called out 'Taker. The Deadman accepted Wyatt's challenge and defeated him at The Show of Shows. Wyatt also attacked Undertaker's half-brother Kane, which is another reference that WWE could use.

This time around, The Undertaker could perhaps make an appearance on SmackDown and challenge The Fiend, in a reversal, of sorts. Although The Deadman is currently a part of the RAW roster, a part-timer like him can switch brands.
