Bray Wyatt is arguably the best thing going in WWE right now. Ever since he has introduced us to his new gimmick of Firefly Funhouse, fans have been extremely interested in this new character. These segments are continuously being called as the best part of RAW since the last month.

After introducing us to the friendly, fun-loving version of himself with a lot of demented hidden layers, Bray finally revealed the true monster inside him on this week's RAW, which he claims to have control on. While we have to wait and see whether Bray can control this monster or it's the other way around, this new gimmick has sure struck the right key with the fans.

After almost a month of these Firefly Funhouse segments, fans have started wondering who would be Bray's first opponent. With the reveal of this scary looking monster, the speculations have started arising as to how will Bray make his in-ring debut.

In this article, let's take a look at 3 Surprising ways in which Bray could make his in-ring debut.


#3 Come face-to-face with Braun Strowman

Can Bray get back with the Monster he once introduced?

Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman have a long history, as Braun debuted on the main-roster under Bray as a member of the Wyatt Family in 2015. While it was not before he started his singles run on RAW after the brand split that he started gaining popularity among the fans, but the fact is it was Bray who introduced us to this monster.

Ever since the dissolution of the Wyatt Family, fans have been wondering when these two former teammates would clash, and while we have seen some teases here and there from WWE, these two are yet to have a proper feud.

Braun Strowman has lost a lot of his momentum, thanks to some constant poor booking of the Monster Among Men. Vince and WWE have somehow not been able to use him to his full potential. He has been in countless Universal Championship matches and still hasn't been able to get his hands on the big red strap.

With him being out of the MITB ladder match, his stock in WWE seems to be going down steeply and WWE looks out of ideas for the former Monster in the Bank. But can Bray Wyatt show him the light once again and save his career?

What if Bray confronts Braun on a RAW after Money in the Bank and tells him that he is tired of looking at Braun's misery and wants to heel him and offers him to join him again. Braun could then initially refuse, which would lead to Bray using his "hurt and heel" theory to first take out Braun only to forgive him later and make him his follower again.

Braun Strowman siding with Bray could just make this all situation even more interesting.

#2 Take-out Samoa Joe at Money in the Bank

While this might not be the rivalry that fans have been predicting, but Bray Wyatt in one of his recent tweets teased a feud between him and Samoa Joe. In the tweet above, Samoa Joe is giving out a message to the challenger for his United States Championship this Sunday, Rey Mysterio and his son Dominic. Bray interestingly replied to his tweet as seen above.

If this is indeed an indication for his first feud, then Bray might actually appear at Money in the Bank after Samoa Joe's match. Now, this can be done in so many ways, but WWE will need to think it out properly as they can't afford to mess with the red hot Bray Wyatt right now.

If Bray does feud with Joe, the most logical question is - will it be for the United States Title? While fans have long been complaining about Bray not getting proper title reigns, but I believe this new gimmick of his is not one where he'll directly go behind a title, that too a mid-card one.

This new Bray Wyatt is all about "Hurt and Heal", and maybe he would hurt Joe with the intentions of healing him eventually. While a victorious first feud against Joe would be great for Bray, one has to wonder how good will that be for Joe who just recently has started to be taken seriously by WWE management.

#1 Attack The Undertaker after his match in Saudi Arabia

The feud between Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker during the build-up for WrestleMania 31 was a great opportunity for WWE to build a huge star out of Bray and legit make him the "new face of fear" in WWE by letting him go over The Dead Man at the Show of Shows.

Instead, WWE decided to give the veteran a win to better his record after Lesnar broke his undefeated streak at WrestleMania a year ago. This feud which had immense potential ended up doing almost nothing for both the characters and in some way gave us the hint that WWE is not yet fully invested in Bray.

With this new gimmick of Bray Wyatt, it is a great chance for Vince to fix this mistake of his by giving us a proper feud between these two dark forces. The mind games between Taker and Wyatt can produce some really scary and thrilling segments, something which we hardly get to see in WWE these days.

The best way to set it up will be to let Bray attack The Undertaker after his match with Goldberg at Super ShowDown next month, and build-up a proper rivalry between the two, leading to a match at SummerSlam, only this time it will end with Bray overcoming the Dead Man and establishing himself as the new face of fear.
