4 Mistakes WWE shouldn't make with The Fiend Bray Wyatt in 2019

If you go and ask any wrestling fan about the most exciting thing in all of WWE right now, the answer will be the same - Bray Wyatt's brand new character, The Fiend.

In professional wrestling, if you try and take a gamble, you either pass with flying colors or you fail miserably - there are no two ways about it. So, WWE took a huge gamble when Wyatt returned with the Firefly Fun House and it has paid off magnificently well.

Many were skeptical about Wyatt's new gimmick early on, but now, he is one of the hottest prospects in WWE. Right now, he is involved in a feud with the Universal Champion Seth Rollins. Both these Superstars are slated to face each other at Hell in a Cell for the Universal Championship.

Wyatt, in more ways than one, is defining what the current generation of wrestling fans love. He has put no foot wrong thus far and we hope that continues for a long while. But if it is to have an ever-changing impact on WWE, here are the 4 mistakes that WWE should avoid making in matters concerning The Fiend.

#4 Not making the new Wyatt Family

In his one of the most recent Firefly Fun House episodes, Wyatt spoke about how he embraces teamwork and that his team helps him cope with pressure. Right now, his team is a witch, a rabbit, a pig, and a buzzard.

But that episode clearly hinted at the possibility of making the new Wyatt Family. This simply has to be done by WWE. A family or a faction backing up The Fiend is bound to rule the company at some point in time.

Everyone knows how factions influence a brand and its productivity. Consider The Undisputed Era as the most recent example, as they are currently draped in gold.

Also, the Superstars who would join the new Wyatt Family will be elevated to a different level and that is the biggest reason why a faction around The Fiend is necessary.

The popularity of The Fiend can help other Superstars make their name. Besides, they would get a lot to learn from Wyatt and right now, there isn't a better Superstar to learn from.

#3 Giving him a Roman Reigns like push

The Mandible Claw in all it's glory

This is what many of you might fear. Vince McMahon has this uncanny nature of pushing a Superstar to the hills if he sees potential in them. While it's not entirely wrong, there are ways to go about it.

Pushing someone up the ladder like Roman Reigns was in 2017 is not the way to go about it. The Fiend has huge potential, but WWE should learn from their mistakes.

There was a time in 2017 when Roman was booed even if he said a single word. It wasn't entirely his fault though, as he simply had too much screen time and the writing around his character was simply plain.

In simple words, WWE should simply avoid making Wyatt the circus. Instead, he should be a part of the circus. As of right now, we cannot wait for Wyatt to show up on our TV screens, and if WWE wants us to feel that way for a long while, they should simply learn from the Reigns debacle.

#2 Stop him from going after legends

Let Him In!

Over the past couple of months, The Fiend has become a kind of a legend killer. The likes of Jerry Lawler, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, and Kane have already faced his wrath, and this is another thing about the character we love.

The funny thing is, we love seeing The Fiend dismantle the legends and you can make that out whenever the lights go off and The Fiend is about to appear. This is a thing which should be permanently embedded in his character and he shouldn't stop coming after the legends ever.

He doesn't come after random people, instead, there is a reason for it. In Wyatt's previous The Eater of Worlds' gimmick, he came in contact with every one of the legends mentioned above and that is the reason why The Fiend attacked them.

You would have heard Wyatt saying, "In another life, they took something very dear to me," in the Firefly Fun House. That isn't a simple line; that is the very reason why The Fiend attacks some Superstars only. This is a part of his character that WWE shouldn't abandon - The Fiend should continue his infrequent attacks on WWE legends.

#1 Not making him the Universal Champion

Bray Wyatt simply has to be made the Universal Champion

There are many reasons why The Fiend should be the Universal Champion by the end of 2019. One, the momentum he has behind him is absolutely incredible and WWE should hit the iron when it is hot.

Second, there isn't a more deserving Superstar than Wyatt that deserves to be made the Universal Champion. Another reason is that WWE needs a top heel champion as Seth Rollins has held on to his title for long enough.

The Fiend should be the Superstar to beat Rollins for the Universal Championship and this could happen as soon as Hell in a Cell. The Fiend as the Universal Champion is going to drive the WWE Universe nuts. Even though Wyatt is a heel, he would get a huge pop if and when he shows up with the red title hanging around his waist.
