Ever since the Firefly Fun House vignettes began to air, it became clear that WWE had something special in store for all of us. The transformation of Bray Wyatt into The Fiend did not disappoint, and in this article, I shall tell you what I believe it's all been leading to.
It is very clear if you read between the lines, that the Wyatt Family is priming for a return. It may all be guesswork and speculation for now, but I think there is solid evidence pointing to the same.
In any case, do let me know if you'd be happy to see a brand new Wyatt Family in WWE, or do you want to see The Fiend as a solo act, going forward? Also, whom would you like to see as a part of this heel unit, ladies and gentlemen?

#5 The metaphorical significance of the puppets
I doubt you guys need me to spell this out, but puppets on strings have been used through history as a symbol of a leader orchestrating his own devious ploys, and Bray Wyatt using puppets in his vignettes could certainly point to this fact. One has to remember that everything that Bray Wyatt says and does is symbolic, which pretty much confirms the fact that these puppets will be making an appearance on WWE television in one form or another.
So, what could be the ways that Wyatt is controlling WWE Superstars, making them the puppets that are carrying out his commands? Maybe he's the man behind the Roman Reigns attacks, informing Rowan what to do because Daniel Bryan's ally clearly spelled out that he was doing whatever he did, on behalf of someone else this past week!
#4 His hints in this week's Firefly Fun House
The Firefly Fun House made its return to RAW this week and it was a great success. It began with Bray Wyatt apologizing to Finn Balor for his actions and continued with him stuffing a whole heap of money down Vince McMahon's throat to keep him from protesting too much. Ultimately, he would make the following statements, much to my delight and amusement:
I've learned to embrace the virtue of teamwork. See. Yowie Wowie! My team, they help me cope with the pain!
Because everything that Bray Wyatt says is pretty much indicative of the route that his character will take down the line, I have a feeling that we're headed for him bringing a new Wyatt Family to the roster. Each character will don a part, whether it's Abby the Witch or Huskus The Pig, or even Ramblin' Rabbit. Each of them will likely serve the master and carry out his devious tasks, to make the product edgy and interesting again.
If you look at these lines in the context of the whole video, they make no sense at all, except if you attribute this meaning to them.
#3 The secret that Ramblin' Rabbit almost leaked to us
One of the sub-plots in the Firefly Fun House is the fact that Ramblin' Rabbit, a character who's come to life from the jaws of death as many times as The Undertaker, pretty much leaked the fact that something suspicious was going on with Bray Wyatt. And if the secret of the Firefly Fun House is stranger than the transformation of Bray Wyatt to The Fiend, I wonder what it could be.
I think it will be the fact that the souls of certain WWE Superstars have been trapped in these puppets, and Bray Wyatt can command them to do his bidding, unleashing his army upon the world. I mean what other bits of news could Ramblin' Rabbit possibly leak to us that would surprise us to any degree, I ask you?!?!
If you've seen the vignettes, you know that Ramblin' Rabbit has been asking for help, which could point to the fact that his soul has been captured by Wyatt. I fully expect this storyline to play out in the weeks to follow on WWE.
This may actually be the most complex plot in the history of WWE television, from what I can remember!
#2 The number of trios in WWE today
There is an abnormally high number of stables in WWE right now. You have The New Day, The OC, Randy Orton with The Revival, as well as The Undisputed ERA waiting in the wings to claim the top spot. If gang warfare is the route WWE wants to take, it makes sense for The Wyatt Family to enter the fray down the line.
Survivor Series is fast approaching and provided that The Fiend becomes the Universal Champion at Hell in a Cell, a dominant showing by the Wyatt Family may be the best way for the character to ascend to the next level in WWE. There's only so much you can do with The Fiend as a character on his own, but adding his own army of minions by his side will certainly elevate things to a whole new level. Shout out to my colleague Daniel Wood, who first suggested this possibility to me!
If you add everything up, especially the point about Bray Wyatt being a puppet master pulling the strings, then the whole picture just seems to come together, almost at once. Survivor Series could be the site where The Fiend takes over WWE.
#1 The number of supernatural-themed active Superstars currently sitting on the shelf
WWE has the most stacked roster in the company's history, but the shameful thing about this is the fact that only a handful of these Superstars are being used on TV. In fact, there's a whole bunch of active Superstars that even have a supernatural gimmick but have not had the chance to showcase their wares in weeks.
The Ascension are a unit that come to mind at once, who could be a valuable addition to the new Wyatt Family. Liv Morgan has also teased a brand new look, and it seems like she will be heading in a darker direction so she could be an interesting choice for the part of Abby The Witch.
Aleister Black had a great run as a tag team superstar but has since struggled to make it as a breakout singles star, unfortunately. I have a feeling that he could excel and thrive if he were made a part of this faction, going forward.
And there are also members of the erstwhile SAnitY and even others like Luke Harper who could be biding their time, waiting to make a huge comeback in this ne and improved Wyatt Family
