Despite making a slow start as The Fiend, Bray Wyatt seemed to be at the centre of things in the WWE. However, after the introduction of Uncle Howdy who seemed to control and torment Wyatt, things did not go as per plan and many were left confused.
One such man who was left confused by The Fiend's persona is WWE veteran Dutch Mantel. In a podcast, Mantell pointed out several issues with The Fiend. He also made a bold claim further in the podcast. Mantel said:
"The Fiend - I don't even know if he was a heel or a babyface! It was according to what his opponent was, I guess. But I never saw the purpose of him. He never drew any money, now he may sell some merchandise but if he just going to sell merchandise, let's keep him down on your card and don't try to push him into your main event because I don't think he's going to sell any tickets."
