#1. Former WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt/The Fiend

Bray Wyatt was released from WWE last month in easily one of the biggest surprises of the year. The man, also known as The Fiend, had been appearing sporadically on WWE TV in his final year in the company and was part of a feud with Alexa Bliss at the time of his release.

As The Fiend, Wyatt had been able to revive his career and won the Universal Championship on two occasions. The latter of which came in the summer of 2020 when he was able to defeat Braun Strowman at SummerSlam.

Roman Reigns made his return to the company and attacked the two men following their match. The Tribal Chief then took the Championship title that he should have won at WrestleMania.

Wyatt moved on to a feud with Randy Orton which led to him being off TV for a lengthy period of time before returning and wrestling at WrestleMania in April. This was Wyatt's last match for WWE since he was released from the company due to budget cuts on July 31st.
