WWE SummerSlam 2017: 5 Possible Finishes for Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor 

Many belts are on the line at the biggest show of the summer in Brooklyn this weekend, but one match is intriguing for a very different reason. Bray Wyatt, the eater of worlds has traditionally been known for tapping into his reservoir of darkness and summoning the forces of evil to win his matches. This time, he has compelled his opponent to summon his own inner demon in one-on-one combat, at the biggest show of the summer, once again (The Demon last appeared exactly a year ago). What happens when dark forces clash? We bring you 5 potential outcomes of such a massive, colossal contest.

#5 Wyatt defeats The Demon King clean

Eliminating the least likely possibility first

We would be very surprised if this were to happen, but we wouldn't entirely be opposed to it. Bray Wyatt has affectionately been referred to as 'The Eater of Pins' in the Internet Wrestling Community because of how seldom he actually wins. WWE actually allowed Wyatt to pick up a victory against Balor on Raw, without any heel shenanigans on the heels of him winning his feud against Seth Rollins as well. WWE could decide to make Wyatt look strong as a potential main eventer in the future and pick up a clean victory over Balor.

This would not make too much sense from a logical point of view, however, as it would totally undermine the Demon King character and destroy the equity of the gimmick. Therefore, we move on to far more likely scenarios.

#4 No contest, just pure, utter humiliation

This is far more personal than wins and losses

When Wyatt defeated Balor in the middle of the ring, he humiliated The Demon King by pouring a red, viscous liquid on top of him. Balor seems far more ready for revenge than he ever has been in the past. We are certain that his revenge does not just entail winning a wrestling match, but instead, involves humiliating Wyatt to the same degree as he humiliated Balor. There are bound to be mind games, and because of the limitations of a stacked card, there is a possibility that the match may not even begin.

Imagine this scenario. Wyatt walks to the ring, ready to take on whatever lies in store for him. Then Balor's music hits and we see the appearance of the Demon, up the ramp, sizing up Wyatt. Before the match can even begin, the floodgates open and Wyatt is drowned in the same blood-like liquid. This would protect both men and not have either have suffer a loss on such a grand stage as SummerSlam.

#3 The Wyatt Family reunites to defeat Finn Balor

It's not like the two men have much to do on SmackDown anyway!

Erick Rowan and Luke Harper have been off TV for such a long time that we sometimes forget they are even employed by the company. Since there's absolutely nothing for them to do on SmackDown Live, it might make sense for them to reunite with Wyatt one more time. In doing so, they could help The Eater of Worlds defeat Balor and establish this dominant stable as the guys who rule the roost on Raw.

This also makes sense because WWE is invariably heading towards a Shield reunion, at least from all the signs we have seen, and they will need credible opponents to work with. It also gives Harper and Rowan TV time and allows them to make good use of their immense talent. Harper especially is far too talented to just be sitting on the benches, without appearing on television at all.

#2 SAnitY aligns themselves with Wyatt to defeat Balor

Could we see this vicious team getting called up to the main roster?

Let's face it...Bray Wyatt is much better when he is hunting with a pack. There is a faction in NXT that almost mirrors The Wyatt Family when it comes to look, physique and sheer strength. This stable is called SAnitY, and they will take on The Authors of Pain at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. We could totally imagine them possibly losing the match and getting called up to the main roster, the very next night, to form an alliance with someone like them.

This could be the new Wyatt Family...a faction that Wyatt can lead from strength to strength before the characters are ready to branch off on their own.

You may think that this is a far fetched possibility, but when you think about it, it really isn't.

#1 The Demon King comprehensively defeats Bray Wyatt

This is probably how it's going to go down!

The crowd awaits with bated breath as Finn Balor's distinctive music hits. Only this time, it's the same man in a completely different avatar. He takes his time to arrive at the ring, but once he does, he is -- quite literally -- a man possessed. He makes short work of Bray Wyatt and defeats him in the middle of the ring. Finn Balor is back in a brand new persona that will make periodic appearances on WWE television thereafter.
