It has to be said that Bray Wyatt as The Fiend is the best thing in WWE right now. He stole the show at SummerSlam after he beat Finn Balor, adding him to his list of victims. The entrance alone was one of the most creative on a WWE PPV in a long time.

There are going to be obvious comparisons made with The Undertaker, but that's very easy to see. He dabbles in the supernatural, plays mind games on his opponents, and practically "murders" them in the middle of the ring. But that's for another article.

But what's outstanding about this version of Bray Wyatt is that he's being painted as an unstoppable force. He's an amalgamation of The Joker, Freddy Kruger, and The Clockwork Orange's Alex. Vince McMahon has hit the bullseye with this disturbing character and it's going to hold the viewers' attention going forward.

So, in the weeks ahead, the WWE Universe is going to be in for something terrifying and amazing at the same time. Here are 5 WWE Superstars who could be The Fiend's next victim.


#5 Aleister Black

Aleister Black has had good matches of late, but he hasn't been in a clear feud where he could get over as a performer. That takes time and planning, and also depends on whether someone is truly connecting with the audience.

Since moving to the main roster, Aleister Black has had little to do on either brand. Sure, he had a "feud" with Cesaro, who he defeated, and he recently beat Sami Zayn on SmackDown as well.

While Aleister Black may primarily be part of SmackDown for the time being, nothing is stopping the promotion from staging a match between the two at Survivor Series. This is with the assumption that The Fiend stays on WWE Raw in the foreseeable future.

It's quite easy to see how they suit each other. Aleister Black studies the dark arts and his occult-driven persona is one that compliments the rampant unstoppable force of The Fiend. It's not a requirement that Black would have to win this match. As history has shown, WWE Superstars have gone over, even while losing.

#4 John Cena

John Cena is probably best described as an inactive part-time WWE Superstar. His movie career is taking off and he's making his mark on TV as a host of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? as well. But that doesn't mean he can't take a month off his busy schedule for a short feud with an old but terrifying foe in Bray Wyatt.

The story writes itself with their feud going back to WrestleMania 30. Some fans have said that Bray Wyatt should have gone over in that instance and would have solidified his character in the long run. But sometimes, things happen for a reason.

Taking into account that The Fiend has attacked WWE Legends in recent weeks, who better to join his list of victims than John Cena? Bray Wyatt wants his revenge and The Fiend is going to get the job done.

#3 Matt Hardy

One of the most important things in professional wrestling is storytelling. One story the fans might have forgotten about is Matt Hardy. While Matt Hardy has faded into the background, it's unclear whether Woken Matt Hardy will return to the limelight. The feud between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt didn't get the kind of attention it deserved.

Woken Matt Hardy is a strange creature that neither is comedic nor dramatic. The gimmick occupies a gray area that is entertaining. It does keep the viewer hooked until the very end. While Bray Wyatt was ''deleted" and became Matt's tag partner, there was a sense that Bray Wyatt was meant for a far more menacing role.

Having The Fiend go after Matt Hardy in his current "You Don't Understand" gimmick would be highly entertaining and something different than we ever have seen before. As Matt Hardy posts his social media messages, it's plausible to think that Bray Wyatt could get this version of Matt Hardy to come to his "Firefly Fun House" to truly be deleted.

#2 The Undertaker

A true dream match!

Anyone in the WWE Universe realizes that this has to happen. It makes perfect sense that The Deadman would take on the most terrifying entity in WWE since his debut all those years ago. Although it's unclear if and when The Undertaker will ride off into the sunset, this is a match that has to happen soon.

As The Undertaker gets older and isn't able to achieve the same kind of intensity in his matches, Bray Wyatt could offer a plausible route for The Prince of Darkness to pass the torch to a character that is worthy of carrying it forward.

Their match at WrestleMania 31 was a wash and didn't help the Bray Wyatt character at all. But things are different this time around. With the arrival of The Fiend, The Undertaker would take on someone who is far more deadly than he ever was.

#1 Seth Rollins

Although it's still early days, it feels like all roads lead to Seth Rollins. His match with Brock Lesnar was a great way to finish SummerSlam, and The Beast managed to make Seth Rollins the champion he was supposed to be seen as after WrestleMania 35. While one threat has been neutralized, another lies on the horizon.

Though it's debatable that The Fiend would be after any title, it's a still a great possibility for deep dramatic storytelling. Imagine The Fiend going after Seth Rollins in a personal way and truly trying to break him and bring him down to his level. It's what The Joker tried to do to Batman and it's something Bray Wyatt could do to Rollins.

Assuming the title changed hands, Seth Rollins would have to regain his confidence to battle The Fiend wherever and whenever. After SummerSlam, WWE could go in so many directions with this.

With WWE Raw about to hit the airwaves, don't be surprised if "Firefly Fun House" is the highest-rated segment on the show. WWE has the audience's attention and they want to know who's next on Bray Wyatt's hit list.
