Survivor Series is done and dusted, and the show produced some extraordinary matches. From the traditional Survivor Series matches to the title matches, every match lived up to its hype. NXT continued its momentum from NXT WarGames and the developmental brand won the battle for brand supremacy in its very first attempt.

WWE's World Champions didn't face each other to crown the best champion in WWE. Instead, they defended their titles individually. Reigning Universal Champion The Fiend put his title on the line against Daniel Bryan at Survivor Series. The two men delivered a fantastic match, but the champion was victorious in his first title defense.

TLC will be the next pay-per-view for WWE, and is scheduled to take place on December 15th. It remains to be seen who could be the next challenger for the Blue Brand's most coveted prize. In this article, we will examine three possible post-Survivor Series opponents for The Fiend.


#3 Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan already faced The Fiend at Survivor Series and the possibility of a rematch can't be ruled out. While their Survivor Series bout was a normal match, WWE could add a new stipulation, if they cross paths again at TLC.

Bringing back his signature 'Yes' chant at Allstate Arena, the five-time WWE Champion has made clear that he is a babyface now. Since The Fiend is an evil monster, it makes sense for the two to have a lengthy feud, especially knowing that both Superstars are extremely dexterous in delivering awe-inspiring matches.

After launching an attack on Daniel Bryan, The Fiend began the feud two weeks ago, but the rivalry didn't get enough time to develop. Known to deliver exciting promos, both Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt could do an even better job, if they extend the feud until TLC.

#2 Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston should not be a surprising name here, considering he lost the WWE Championship not long ago. Having dropped the WWE Championship on SmackDown's FOX debut, Kingston didn't get his rematch. Within a few weeks, Kingston (along with Big E.) managed to win the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, punching their ticket for Survivor Series, where The New Day came up just short in securing a victory for the Blue Brand.

It has been an incredible year for the former WWE Champion, who started KofiMania earlier this year. The New Day member made history at the Grandest Stage of Them All, where he won the WWE Championship by besting Daniel Bryan. As a fighting champion, Kingston defended the belt many times, keeping it around his waist for six months, until he ran into Brock Lesnar, who ended KofiMania last month.

Kofi Kingston still has momentum and is certainly one of the biggest names on SmackDown, making him more than qualified to challenge for the Universal Championship. Spreading the power of positivity, Kingston is a babyface, who is well-liked by a legion of fans. The Fiend, on the other hand, has been targeting WWE's good guys since making his debut a couple of months ago, and it would not be surprising, if he goes after the former WWE Champion.

#1 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman, former member of The Wyatt Family, could be an ideal man to have a rivalry with his former mentor, who has completely altered his persona. When Strowman made his main roster debut, he was a member of Bray Wyatt's Wyatt Family, making his mark as the stable's powerhouse. Although The Fiend is in contrast to the 'Eater of Worlds,' their previous association can't be forgotten.

Swapping brands last month, Strowman started a colossal rivalry with heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, and the two men crossed paths at Crown Jewel. Following the highly anticipated bout, 'The Monster Among Men' represented Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, where he was eliminated by count-out before his team eventually won the match.

Braun Strowman doesn't have a feud after Survivor Series, but he could have one in The Fiend, if the latter goes after the former. As a matter of fact, The Fiend attacked Strowman a couple of months ago, taking him out with a vicious mandible claw. Furthermore, Braun Strowman is already advertised to wrestle The Fiend at WWE Starrcade, and the live event is set to take place on December 1st in Duluth, Georgia.
