It was a long time coming, but Bray Wyatt is finally back on Monday Night RAW. Despite being gone for months, Wyatt had remained one of the company’s most discussed stars, thanks to his Firefly Fun House segments. Appearing this week, 'The Fiend' picked his target, and it was Finn Balor who felt the former WWE Champion’s wrath, being attacked by Bray following a loss to Samoa Joe.

Wyatt has been a fixture of WWE's main roster for nearly six years now, and over that time has faced plenty of opponents, though with The Fiend persona now present, fans can't help but wonder who The Eater of Worlds will attack next.

Here are five feuds for The Fiend Bray Wyatt after returning on WWE Monday Night RAW.


#5: Braun Strowman

The Monster Among Men may have gotten his big break on the WWE main roster back in 2015 as part of the Wyatt family, but a lot has changed since then. Splitting with the group the following year, Braun Strowman has made a name for himself as a singles star, winning last year's 50-Man Greatest Royal Rumble and becoming a fixture on Monday Night RAW.

Whilst Strowman was dominating RAW, Wyatt spent much of this time on SmackDown, where he would win the Blue brand's tag titles, before capturing the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber 2017. Being on different brands has robbed the WWE Universe of a major feud between the two, and with Wyatt now looking more sadistic than ever before, having him face off against his old protege could not only make for some great matches, but some fantastic storytelling as well.

#4: Finn Balor

So this is the obvious one. During his return on this week's RAW, Bray Wyatt targeted Finn Balor, fresh off The Extraordinary Man's Intercontinental title loss at Extreme Rules. Appearing out of nowhere in the ring, The Fiend levelled Balor with a Sister Abigail, in what was easily the highlight of this week's show.

Obviously, Balor isn't going to take this attack lying down and will be hungry for revenge next week. The two have feuded in the past and though their matches were good, their promos let the story down (look at Wyatt's reveal of Sister Abigail for example). With Wyatt now back under a much more vicious gimmick, hopefully these two former World Champions will not only deliver inside the ring, but have the war of words that they should've had in 2017.

#3: The Miz

Wyatt and The Miz are both masters of the mic and could do great things together.

A veteran of WWE TV, The Miz was already a bonafide star of Monday Night RAW when Wyatt first made his presence known in the summer of 2013. A former Tag Team, United States, Intercontinental and WWE Champion, the A-Lister sure has done plenty in his career, but has spent the majority of his time as a heel.

Now a babyface, Miz has settled into the role surprisingly well, feuding with Shane McMahon, but has been rudderless in recent weeks. Having the A-Lister feud with Wyatt could be great for both men, if done right. With Miz and wife Maryse expecting their second child, this could provide great material for The Fiend to work with, as the 'new and improved' Eater of Worlds could prove there is nothing he won't say to get into his opponent's head.

#2: WWE Champion Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston's emotional victory over Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 remains as one of the most feel-good moments in recent WWE history. The culmination of an eleven-year odyssey, Kingston's win was a long time coming, and since WrestleMania, the New Day star has defeated Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe to keep the gold.

With so many victories, fans are wondering who will be the one to take down Kofi, and the answer could be Wyatt. The pair have feuded in the past (though Wyatt had his family at the time), and to be fair, the Fiend is a former WWE Champion himself. His time with the title however, was only a few weeks long and there's no doubt that Wyatt is booked right, could be a great WWE Champion once again.

#1: Universal Champion Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is once again on top of the WWE, after finally cashing in his Money in the Bank contract to dethrone Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules. A huge win for The Beast, Lesnar is now a three-time Universal Champion, and though we know he will face the Architect at Summerslam, it's unclear who will challenge Lesnar next if he retains next month.

The answer, could be Wyatt, who despite attacking Finn Balor on this week's show, remains to be cheered by the fans. Together, Wyatt and Lesnar could tell a great story, as if the usually stoic Lesnar showed some nervousness about facing the Fiend, it would demonstrate just how demonic the new Wyatt is. Whether that means Bray would be the one to take the title is unclear, but a story between the two is best for business.
