5 Current WWE Superstars worthy of challenging for the Universal Title

#1 Bray Wyatt "The Fiend"

When the WWE history books are rewritten, we will look back at the career of Bray Wyatt and it will tell a story of a WWE Superstar who refused to quit. Despite the struggles of poor booking decisions and gimmick assignments by WWE's powers-that-be, Bray Wyatt continued to ride out the storm and it appears he is finally reaping his reward.

Bray Wyatt was destined to be a success. With a legendary family lineage which includes Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan, Mike Rotunda, and Barry Windham, it's safe to say wrestling runs through the veins of this this-generation star.

Wyatt has been patient and allowing "the process" to play out and it does look like Bray is on the verge of a monumental push. While Bray may not be featured on television every single week, the build continues to what appears to be a WWE Universal Title opportunity. Wyatt is a Superstar who doesn't need to be on TV each week. He has become a feature attraction, so-to-speak and having him on television every week might prove to be too much, thus watering down his monstrous image.

As we previously reported, the venue that is hosting this year's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view has posted what appears to be a spoiler regarding a potential title shot between whoever holds the Universal Title at that time, versus Bray Wyatt.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
