4 Biggest questions about Bray Wyatt's new gimmick

It has been almost nearly a month since Bray Wyatt introduced us to his new "Firefly Fun House" gimmick, leaving behind the cult leader of the Wyatt family. Bray's new gimmick has been an instant hit among the fans with him showing us a completely new yet even more sinister side of his.

With each passing week, the Firefly Fun House segments have been adding more and more layers of darkness to Bray's new gimmick, but this week Bray did actually reveal his big secret - the scary monster inside his head that he claims to have control over.

The whole WWE Universe is very excited to see where this all is leading to, as Bray's new character has so much potential to be one of the best gimmicks in WWE in a long time. But with so many hidden details in his segments, fans have a lot of questions about this gimmick.

#4 Will there be a stable with Bray as the Leader?

Will we see the Firefly Funhouse characters come to reality?

It has just been a few weeks since Bray Wyatt has introduced us to his Firefly Fun House, but the characters like Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, and Ramblin' Rabbit are already very popular among the fans and WWE Universe.

There has been a lot of speculation of actual wrestlers playing these characters and forming a stable sort of with Bray Wyatt as the leader. While that certainly can be a possibility as we have previously seen Bray excelling as a cult leader with the Wyatt Family.

Few of the top contenders to join Bray as per fans are Luke Harper, Nikki Cross, and Eric Young. With Nikki seemingly getting past her crazy gimmick and aligning with Alexa Bliss on RAW last week, it seems pretty clear that she won't be a part of this for the near future. Luke Harper and Eric Young, on the other hand, are nowhere to be seen on WWE programming for quite some time now.

With Bray revealing his demonic side on RAW this week, his character seems to be schizophrenic and from the looks of it, he'll be attacking his opponents behind this scary mask.

His dual-personality character might be an indication that Bray won't be leading a faction and the Firefly Fun House friends would just be in supporting roles to develop Bray's character and reveal new layers beneath the friendly guy that Bray is trying to portray right now.

#3 Which brand will he appear on?

Will he be brand exclusive?

Currently, the Bray Wyatt vignettes have been airing both on RAW and SmackDown. Each week we get to see a new video on RAW, and the next night SmackDown shows the same video again.

One of the biggest questions, and a very genuine one here, is whether Bray will be appearing on RAW or SmackDown once he makes his in-ring debut. Though with the new "Wildcard" rule, the brand exclusiveness isn't really that big of a deal, Bray being assigned to one brand won't suit his character.

Bray is closest to the supernatural characters that we once got to witness in WWE, like The Undertaker, Kane, Boogeyman, etc. With him supposedly playing a half human half demon character, it would be strange to see him follow the brand separation rules.

I can still see Bray mostly appearing on RAW after he debuts, but him appearing occasionally on SmackDown would be a good boost for the blue brand.

#2 Is he a Heel or a Face?

Can this monster looking creature be a face?

Naturally, if we consider the new scary monster-looking appearance of Bray that he revealed on RAW last week, the common consensus would be that he will be playing a deadly heel whom everyone would fear.

But this is the best part about Bray's new gimmick that there are so many hidden layers of his character that there is a possibility that he might even be a face who unleashes the monster whenever things go out of hand.

Before unleashing his Demon, Bray told us that there is still some darkness left in his mind, but he can control it now. If this is indeed true, he might actually be a babyface. But we'll have to wait whether Bray controls his Demon or it the other way around!

There are plenty of ways Bray's character can be developed, and I'm very excited to see which path does WWE choose. Let's all cross our fingers and pray that WWE does not mess this up.

#1 Who will be his first target?

The new face of fear?
Ad

The most interesting question of them all that fans have started to speculate is after all this hype and vignettes, who will be Bray's first target?

WWE has surely introduced him with a bang on TV with this new gimmick but maintaining this same intensity is as important. It will really be a tough task for WWE to decide who to let Bray face first. His first feud itself would give us an indication as to whether WWE can make this gimmick work for long or not.

While there are still no proper confirmations, Bray Wyatt has teased a feud through one of his tweet against Samoa Joe.

This reply of Bray to one of Samoa Joe's tweet related to his feud with Rey Mysterio at Money in the Bank might be an indication of Bray's first feud. If this indeed is true, can he appear after Joe's match this Sunday at Money in the Bank?

While him facing Joe would be a good start, but there is one feud that I personally want to see him in. And that is against The Lord of the Dark forces - The Undertaker. Bray has had a feud with The Dead Man previously, but he pretty much jobbed to him.

A proper feud against The Undertaker with Bray coming on top could be a proper "passing the torch" moment from the Dead Man to the new face of fear in WWE.

This feud could certainly be started when Undertaker appears at the Saudi Arabia event next month to take on Goldberg. It'll be exciting to see Bray playing mind games with Taker and beating him in his own game.

Where do you think this whole Bray Wyatt thing is leading to? Let me know your thoughts and views in the comments section below.
