Almost two weeks ago, reports broke out suggesting that Bray Wyatt a.k.a The Fiend is going to challenge for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell. Last week on Raw, Wyatt addressed those rumors in an episode of the Firefly Fun House. The character that plays Vince McMahon in the Firefly Fun House was fuming at Wyatt for revealing a spoiler.
Wyatt responded by showing Vince the money he has been making with his character, shutting the mouth of the boss in the process. Like everything related to Wyatt, WWE dealt with the rumors quite creatively. Right now, it looks like The Fiend is going to skip Clash of Champions as he doesn't seem to have an opponent. This decision certainly keeps the unpredictability around the character very high.
According to the rumors, it seems either Seth Rollins or Braun Strowman will face The Fiend for the Universal Championship. In this piece, we are going to take a look at the three reasons why Wyatt should challenge for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell and two reasons why he shouldn't:
#5 Should - Momentum on his side
Ever since Wyatt debuted his new gimmick with an episode of the Firefly Fun House, he has been the hottest prospect in all of sports entertainment. The writing of the character has been near perfect, everything from his demeanor to his way of wrestling has been spot on.
The Fiend has a lot of momentum on his side and that might have forced Vince McMahon into giving a Universal Championship match to Wyatt. If Wyatt challenges for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell, the WWE Universe would erupt.
The build-up to the match itself would be enthralling. The latest episode of the Firefly Fun House perfectly described the reason why Wyatt should get a Universal Championship match; he has been making a lot of money for the company.
#4 Shouldn't - It's too early
The most obvious reason why Bray Wyatt shouldn't challenge for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell is that it's too early for The Fiend to get a shot at WWE's biggest prize.
Every Superstar needs to earn a Universal Championship shot and frankly speaking, The Fiend hasn't earned that opportunity yet. He has only faced Finn Balor up till now and WWE should consider having many more matches before giving Wyatt such a big match.
Giving him a Universal Championship shot so early would be a huge gamble. Vince is known for making some irrational decisions, this decision of giving The Fiend a Universal Championship match could either turn out to be a genius move or a rash one.
#3 Should - Hell in a Cell is the perfect breeding ground for a character like The Fiend
Whenever someone has mentioned WrestleMania in front of you, The Undertaker would have definitely popped up in your heads. The same could be done with Hell in a Cell and The Fiend.
The two gloves you would have seen Wyatt wear has something written on them; it's hurt and heal. Now, Hell in a Cell is known for the hurt rather than the heal. So, everything sits well with the character of The Fiend for him to be made a dominant force at Hell in the Cell.
Inside a steel cage, The Fiend can be displayed as an unstoppable force. He could possibly go on an unbeaten run at the pay-per-view, just like The Undertaker did at WrestleMania. This could be another reason why Vince is tempted to give The Fiend a huge match.
#2 Shouldn't - Both Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt cannot afford to lose if they come up against each other
Braun Strowman is going to face Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at Clash Of Champions. To assume that The Monster Among Men is going to win the Universal Championship is a very long shot. The Architect is fresh from beating Brock Lesnar clean and that victory would not make any sense if Rollins ends up losing his match to Strowman.
So, if Wyatt comes up against Rollins for the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell, both these Superstars simply cannot afford to lose. Both of them are loved by the WWE Universe and any result would end up upsetting the fans.
Rather than hustling into the match between Rollins and Wyatt, WWE should rather wait for The Architect's momentum to die down a bit. That way, the WWE Universe would fully back The Fiend to win the Universal Championship whenever the time comes.
#1 Should - Seth Rollins needs exciting challengers for the Universal Championship
Barring a brief Universal Championship run for Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins has been the holder of WWE's top prize for a long time now. In that time, not once a Superstar has looked like a threat to The Architect's reign. Even Strowman doesn't seem to come across as a huge threat to Rollins and that tells you the lack of exciting challengers for the Universal Championship out there.
Rollins is the biggest babyface of the company right now and he needs someone to rival him, that is a top heel. Wyatt vs Rollins has the potential to be the biggest rivalry in WWE right now.
Having The Fiend challenge and win the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell could set up a long term rivalry between two of WWE's hottest Superstars. Also, Vince McMahon seems to be fully behind Wyatt. You can make that out by Vince's appearances in Firefly Fun House.
