#4 Vince McMahon is fully behind him

It's very clear even on-screen when Vince McMahon is personally behind a character. Being the mastermind of the company and the man who has been running things for nearly four decades, McMahon knows that it's character work that crowd gets invested in, not so much the in-ring ability of a superstar.

If there's a solid character that gets over, there's a high chance of him getting behind them. But Bray Wyatt and "The Fiend" are no ordinary characters. They're the brainchild of Wyatt himself and Braun Strowman even revealed that he hadn't talked to him in months because he had just "holed up" and was in his own world trying to create this new character.

It's a project that's rightfully been handled with a lot of care and it's clear that Vince McMahon is fully behind this as well. There were rumours that he is committed to making this new gimmick work and as long as Wyatt has the main man behind him, he's going to get pushed to the moon.

Either way, one must wonder how Vince McMahon reacts to these Firefly Fun House segments and the portrayal of himself.
