Last night, one of the points I mentioned in my article about why The Fiend did not become the Universal Champion (link here) was because WWE did not want two part-time Champions leading both their brands. There were some comments with regard to the statement because technically, Bray Wyatt is not a part-timer, is he? But in a lot of ways, he is in the same category as Brock Lesnar.
WWE obviously wants The Fiend to only show up on certain occasions, with the lantern, and wrestle in the way that he does, which is no-selling every big move. He's not going to be wrestling every week on TV at all, and this was evident from the fact that he was left out of this show. Personally, I think that it's a wise move because it keeps him fresh and well, interesting.
And hence, The Fiend wasn't on TV on this week's show.
