3 Directions The Fiend can go in after winning the Universal Championship

When Bray Wyatt made his WWE return earlier this year, as host of the creepy children’s television show, The Firefly Fun House, it quickly became one of the most talked about events in all of wrestling. Over the course of the show's first few weeks, Wyatt’s character dropped hints that the Firefly Fun House was more than what it seemed, and The Fiend began to appear, as Wyatt would shift between his two alter-egos. This would go on for almost three months before The Fiend first appeared in a ring, attacking Finn Balor.

After beating Finn Balor at SummerSlam and attacking several Hall of Famers including Mick Foley, Jerry Lawler, and Kurt Angle, The Fiend was quickly propelled into the main title picture when he attacked Universal Champion Seth Rollins at Clash of Champions, after Rollins' successful title defense against Braun Strowman.

However, at Hell in a Cell, the unthinkable happened. Not only did The Fiend fail to win the Universal Championship, but the match was stopped prematurely, shocking the WWE Universe. Rollins used a sledgehammer on top of a toolbox and several other weapons including steel chairs, and the referee was compelled to stop the match. Considering past Hell in a Cell matches have had more brutal moments where wrestlers have used sledgehammers, been thrown off the structure and onto thumbtacks, the outcry from the WWE Universe was more than understandable.

The Fiend saw redemption at the following Crown Jewel pay-per-view and managed to capture his first Universal Championship, despite taking a barrage of curb stomps. After winning one of the company's most prestigious championships, The Fiend now stands atop WWE's proverbial mountain, but one question remains: where does the Fiend go from here?

#3 Creating a new stable

The Wyatt Family

There have been many stables that have come and gone throughout the history of WWE. While many merely become an afterthought, there have been several that have left an impression on WWE forever including the likes of The Hart Foundation, D-Generation X, and Evolution, just to name a few. Furthermore, many of the wrestlers featured in these stables use their early success as a platform to move onto bigger and better things in their careers.

With that stated, there haven't been many memorable stables in recent years other than The New Day, The Authority, and The Shield. WWE could definitely use the formation of a new faction to spice things up creatively and Bray Wyatt is just the man to do it.

If one considers how developed and influential The Fiend’s character is, Wyatt is more than capable of recruiting a villainous stable to terrify the WWE locker room on a weekly basis. On one of his Firefly Fun House segments this year, several children were seemingly locked in a trance-like state, suggesting that The Fiend has the power and influence to make others join his cult.

Furthermore, if one takes into account that Wyatt, the former leader of The Wyatt Family, is no stranger to creating a stable, he could take advantage of his obvious leadership skills to ensure that he and his new Universal Championship will receive extra protection for years to come.

#2 Beating Brock Lesnar clean

Goldberg is one of a handful of wrestlers who have beaten Brock Lesnar clean.

When Brock Lesnar first debuted in WWE back in 2002, he was instantly dubbed ‘The Next Big Thing.’ After winning the King of the Ring Tournament and capturing the WWE Undisputed Championship by beating The Rock in the span of just four months, it was clear the nickname suited him well.

Throughout Lesnar’s career, he faced countless household names in WWE. From Triple H to The Undertaker, John Cena to Roman Reigns, 'The Beast' has vanquished them all. It should be no surprise that he has a fantastic win/loss record in the WWE, but what’s more important is he very rarely loses cleanly.

While it is unclear what will happen with Brock Lesnar, he recently 'quit' Friday Night SmackDown on the November 1st edition of the show to go and search for Rey Mysterio on RAW. While looking for Mysterio, Lesnar might just encounter the maniacal Fiend instead. A Survivor Series feud between the 'The Beast Incarnate' and The Fiend would be a highly attractive match for the WWE Universe. While The Fiend showed how formidable he was by kicking out of several Seth Rollins curb stomps at Crown Jewel, a clean victory over Lesnar would officially cement his dominance.

Fans have come to expect a Champion vs Champion Match at Survivor Series. With The Fiend and Brock Lesnar currently holding the top two championships on RAW and SmackDown, this scenario is a likely outcome.

#1 Calling out The Undertaker

A future match between The Undertaker and The Fiend?

When The Undertaker lost to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33, the WWE Universe were convinced that 'The Deadman' had announced his retirement after 27 years with WWE. The Undertaker left his ring attire in the squared circle and proceeded to make his WrestleMania 33 exit, as fans wondered whether they would ever see 'The Deadman' wrestle again.

The Undertaker returned a year later at WrestleMania 34 when he demolished one of WWE's biggest franchise wrestlers, John Cena, in less than three minutes.

Just like The Undertaker first struck fear in wrestlers and fans alike when he made his WWE debut nearly thirty years ago, the same goes for The Fiend. With his Firefly Fun House and terrifying ring entrances, Bray Wyatt provokes fear in those he faces and in wrestling fans all over the world.

The Undertaker has wrestled a limited schedule over the last few years, so an Undertaker/Fiend feud may seem unlikely on the surface, but it's still a highly anticipated scenario for wrestling fans who would like to see the most terrifying wrestler of a bygone era square off against the most terrifying wrestler today.

The two Superstars could have several interactions leading up to a huge pay-per-view match in the future. Just like The Rock and John Cena advertised their WrestleMania XXVIII match a year in advance, The Fiend and The Undertaker could do something similar. Considering how beloved both Superstars are, the WWE Universe would savor every moment these two come together.
