#3. Hope is true: The Fiend to be protected for a future match against a "super guy"

Bray Wyatt has had a career resurgence in 2019 and has been the most protected superstar in the company, more so than popular names such as Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns, all of whom have tasted defeat at some point in the year.

The ultimate objective of giving a monster push to someone like The Fiend is ultimately for them to be defeated by someone down the line. However, there doesn't seem to be any plan for him to lose any time soon and rightfully so (which we'll get to it in another rumor).

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Wyatt is reportedly being protected for a match against a "super guy"

Right now, Wyatt should be kept apart completely from Lesnar for a long time. With the push they are giving Wyatt, they need to protect him for the super guy, and that’s Lesnar, not Reigns, although those would be the two key programs."

We're not fans of the idea of Brock Lesnar beating The Fiend but do note that the rumor only says that they need to protect him for Lesnar and not to lose to Lesnar. We hope this rumor is true and the two men inevitably face off in the ring.
