4 Reasons why Bray Wyatt is being groomed to be the next Undertaker

If you're a fan of professional wrestling and find joy in absorbing the process that goes into bringing it to life, then you're certainly excited about Bray Wyatt's horrifying re-introduction to the squared circle.

The former WWE Champion has taken the wrestling world by storm, with his barbarous demeanor as The Fiend running riot on both Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live.

His entrance alone became one of the most talked about elements of the Biggest Party Of The Summer, SummerSlam. The Fiend entered with such promise and left no stone unturned in mauling Finn Balor whilst putting all the others in the locker room on notice.

Judging by the reception the gimmick has been receiving, the commentary team took notice and immediately ignited the conversation of comparing him to the Undertaker.

Though the collation felt like a one-time thing, multiple rumors are now suggesting that WWE are indeed planning to keep Bray Wyatt as a special attraction on the main roster.

With legions in the WWE Universe now expecting the creative team to push Wyatt to his full potential, has the Chairman of the Board finally found his special attraction in The Fiend? Let's see.

Here are the four reasons why Vince McMahon wants Bray Wyatt to be compared to the Undertaker.

#1 Wyatt has stepped up at a time where the company desperately needs a legitimate Superstar

Even if WWE does not acknowledge the competition they are likely to receive from All Elite Wrestling, the downfall in ratings have coerced the management to take some critical decisions.

Be it bringing in Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff or pushing edgier stuff on television, Mr. McMahon certainly wants to keep their audience's invested.

Enter Bray Wyatt's Fiend. The gimmick has everything going for it. This hurt/heal sadistic side of Bray Wyatt is becoming a subject of tremendous appraise all around the wrestling world.

Bringing something as unique and as terrifying to the table as this, especially at a time when the company desperately needs to build a legitimate superstar, Wyatt's creative genius could very well be the solution to WWE's problems.

#2 Someone has to fill The Undertaker's shoes after he retires as an in-ring performer

Even if one can argue that there's nobody in the industry that can ever replace The Undertaker, The Fiend is certainly building a separate fanbase of his own.

He is terrifying, unforgiving, and a bit more intriguing than The Undertaker. Capitalizing on Wyatt's momentum could very well prove to be a game-changer for both WWE and The former Eater of Worlds.

Despite being one of the greatest to ever grace the squared circle, The Undertaker's credibility as an in-ring performer is starting to diminish.

His previous performances have been disappointing, with his last showdown against Goldberg receiving backlash from all around the world.

Considering that The Phenom is no longer the performer he once was, it would be ideal for Vince McMahon to slowly transition the Fiend into the second coming of the Deadman.

Wyatt definitely has some strong shoes to fill, but if provided with the right creative backing, the man could very well become the biggest star in the company.

#3 His entrance alone produces the same atmosphere as the Undertaker, if not better

While I may become an unfortunate recipient of your criticism, but Bray Wyatt's entrance as The Fiend is legitimately more terrifying and intriguing than The Undertaker.

One of the biggest elements required to ascend the credibility of a Superstar is his entrance and the way his presence alters the ambience of the arena.

Considering that The Phenom has ruled the squared circle for more than two decades, there's no superstar on the main roster who has come close to matching his level of stardom.

However, this could be possible with the Fiend. Wyatt carrying his own head as a lantern whilst struggling within himself during his entrance brings so much intrigue and hype to his gimmick, as well as the feud he's a part of.

This is definitely a testament to Wyatt's creativity behind-the-scenes and with The Fiend getting such striking comparisons with the Phenom, things could only get better for Bray Wyatt.

#4 There could be plans for The Fiend to retire The Undertaker

Ever since Bray Wyatt has transitioned into The Fiend, legions in the WWE Universe are expecting him to be pushed as an indestructible force on television.

With the Fiend likely to be presented as a special attraction on the main roster, the former Eater of Worlds could legitimately be the only Superstar in WWE, who could put The Undertaker to sleep.

Even though the likes of Finn Balor and Aleister Black could give us a suitable program with The Phenom, there's something about The Fiend that will match very well with the greatest performer of all time.

Considering Vince McMahon wants the two to be heavily compared, this could also be a way for the Chairman of the Board to push Wyatt, to eventually outshine The Undertaker at the Showcase of the Immortals and possibly retire him.
