The Fiend, Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt has taken WWE by storm ever since debuting his fiendish character, which he used to devastating effect in a rivalry with Roman Reigns’ brother, Seth Rollins. While Wyatt couldn’t defeat Rollins inside of Hell in a Cell, he took the Universal Championship off The Architect at Crown Jewel, moved over to SmackDown, and turned that thing blue.

We’ve seen Wyatt and Reigns butt heads in the past, as The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family stands the test of time as one of the best faction wars of the modern era. But there’s something extra special about the prospect of “The Fiend” facing off against Reigns at The Show of Shows. This matchup would have even more hype around it than John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt, which admittedly ended in a dud. (Though not quite as big of a dud as Wyatt vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33.)

The builds to Wyatt’s WrestleMania matches are usually incredible, and Reigns can play his role perfectly here. He is the exact kind of guy The Fiend would love to face, since it seems like it’s impossible to get inside the stoic Big Dog’s head. But Wyatt rattled Rollins as The Fiend and will certainly find a way to push the right buttons in a rivalry with Reigns, which should bring out another side of the Reigns character.

Reigns would have to win this match, but, by the end, Wyatt will be so built up as a champion that fans will doubt if The Big Dog can pull this one off.
