The Fiend Bray Wyatt hasn't been seen since his WrestleMania loss to Randy Orton earlier this year. During the match The Fiend's sidekick Alexa Bliss turned on him, allowing Randy Orton to pick up the win.
The Fiend has been missing since then, but it's not unusual for the supernatural Superstar to take periods of time away from the spotlight, building up suspense for when he'll next return and who his next victim will be.
There hasn't really been any speculation that The Fiend Bray Wyatt is set to return anytime soon, but given that we've got the Money in the Bank pay-per-view soon and then WWE's big summer show SummerSlam, there's every chance that he'll be involved given that it's all hands on deck.
But who would dare face The Fiend upon his return? Here are five return feuds we could see for The Fiend Bray Wyatt when he finally does return to WWE (if he even does)
#5. WWE RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss could find herself against a vengeful Fiend
WWE isn't too keen on doing anything intergender, but every now and then we've seen them relax their rules a little bit with Superstars like Reginald and James Ellsworth wrestling matches against female roster members.
A feud between Alexa Bliss and The Fiend Bray Wyatt would certainly make sense given her actions at WrestleMania and the fact that she's essentially stolen his entire character (with added hypnosis/mind control)
This could be one of the few times that WWE decide to do a feud between a male and a female Superstar, with the pair doing battle over the supernatural. These less realistic elements, plus the advent of cinematic matches, also mean that they could do a match between the two in a safe way.
A feud between The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss would open up a whole bunch of interesting conceptual ideas and ways forward, although with live crowds returning and fans already not massively keen on Bliss' current character, it might be a step too far for the WWE Universe, even if it is the most logical return feud for Wyatt.
#4. Nikki ASH is WWE's newest superhero and every superhero needs a supervillain like The Fiend Bray Wyatt
Nikki Cross' new 'Nikki ASH' character is a positive, bubbly, high-energy superhero character who's just trying to make the world a better place. This makes her the antithesis to The Fiend Bray Wyatt who is a demonic monster who wants to hurt people.
Every superhero needs a supervillain and The Fiend Bray Wyatt is the closest thing that WWE has to a supervillain. This makes the two conceptual sworn enemies and essentially means that the feud between the two would write itself.
Sure, we have the same issues we have with Alexa Bliss regarding WWE's reluctance to do intergender matches. But just imagine a cinematic match between superhero Nikki and evil Fiend. That would be amazing.
Plus, you have the added storyline elements of The Fiend taking Nikki Cross' best friend Alexa Bliss away from her and corrupting her into who she is now. So Cross could be out to, ahem, avenge, her lost friend.
#3. Could The Fiend Bray Wyatt have some unfinished business with Randy Orton?
When The Fiend Bray Wyatt first debuted he seemed like an unstoppable monster, nothing seemed to hurt him and many WWE Superstars like Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins fell in attempting to beat him after throwing everything they had at him.
Then we jump several months later to this year's WrestleMania where Randy Orton managed to defeat The Fiend Bray Wyatt with one simple RKO. Admittedly he had previously been set on fire by Orton, so perhaps he was a little weakened?
If there's one thing I'm certain of, though, it's that The Friend Bray Wyatt, who we saw shortly after his debut, wouldn't have let the fact he was brutally set on fire stop him from avenging those acts. So I'd be worried if I were Randy Orton.
And yes, he had a chance to avenge being set on fire at WrestleMania but Alexa Bliss took that chance away from him so there's definitely scope for The Fiend Bray Wyatt to consider things with Orton unresolved.
#2. The Fiend Bray Wyatt might want to win the Universal Title back from Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is having a fantastic run as the reigning Universal Champion but hopefully he hasn't forgotten how he won the world title from The Fiend Bray Wyatt using underhanded tactics.
Reigns won the title at WWE Payback 2020 against Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a No Holds Barred Triple Threat match. However, Strowman and Wyatt wrestled through most of the match between them as Reigns waited until the opportune moment to sign a contract entering him into the match and then he pinned Strowman to take the title away from The Fiend.
Given that Roman Reigns didn't directly beat The Fiend in the triple threat match, pinning The Monster Among Men and that Bray Wyatt didn't directly lose his title, there's definitely scope for the rivalry between the two over the title to be revived.
The only issue would be that Wyatt has been on somewhat of a downward trend in terms of how powerful he is in the ring whereas Roman Reigns has been going from strength to strength as The Head Of The Table, so it might not be the most competitive of matches.
#1. Could Karrion Kross and The Fiend Bray Wyatt clash over the dark arts
The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Aleister Black were the two real supernatural characters in WWE after Finn Balor stopped transforming into The Demon. However, Black has now left WWE and joined AEW.
But WWE now has Karrion Kross who has very quickly become NXT Champion and looks to be hot-shot towards the main roster sooner rather than later. Kross' character is, by his own words, a blend of realism and supernatural.
Kross' whole presentation is certainly leaning very much into the supernatural with his entrance, the hour-glass motif and his valet Scarlett who certainly has a mystical quality towards her.
So naturally, The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Karrion Kross would be a ready-made feud given they both have characters grounded in supernatural elements. Just imagine the scenes, Karrion Kross finally makes his main roster debut and then The Fiend returns to stake his claim as WWE's only supernatural guy.
