5 Survivor Series opponents for The Fiend now that Brock Lesnar is facing Rey Mysterio 

Who's next in line for The Fiend after Seth Rollins?
Who's next in line for The Fiend after Seth Rollins?

Despite what Finn Balor stated in his NXT promo, The Fiend is not just Bray Wyatt in a mask. The Fiend is the most exciting character from the world of sports entertainment today and everyone is curious to know what's next for him.

We were supposed to learn more about the situation until the whole Saudi Arabia situation happened and Miz TV with The Fiend had to be called off. But this still begs the question- whom will The Fiend take on in one of the biggest shows of the year?

One thing that's for certain is that he will be in action at Survivor Series. You cannot keep the Universal Champion off the card, in one of the Big 4 pay-per-view events, honestly.

Be sure to sound off in the comments and let me (in) know who you want to see take on Bray Wyatt at Survivor Series?


#5 Adam Cole

Adam Cole Bay Bay! The same man who defeated Daniel Bryan on SmackDown and took Seth Rollins on RAW was, in all likelihood, going to take on both The Fiend and Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2019. Such is obviously not the case with Brock Lesnar and Rey Mysterio going to war, as we learned on RAW.

But The Fiend could always take on Adam Cole because, having come up from NXT, he obviously wants to do right with the black and gold brand. How do 4 men compare against a Supernatural being who can kick out of multiple Curb Stomps? If this match were to happen, we would see how the Undisputed ERA compares to The Fiend and his powers of darkness and evil.

Adam Cole vs. The Fiend doesn't really sound like an exciting match, however. Which is why we have 4 other options as well.

#4 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman had to put a celebrity in Tyson Fury over at Saudi Arabia and as we've seen in the past, when something of this nature happens, Vince McMahon usually rewards you. There is no bigger reward for a SmackDown Superstar than a match against the Universal Champion, in the current scenario. And this is why I believe that Braun Strowman vs. The Fiend is a real possibility for Survivor Series.

To begin with, this is a great substitute match if we don't get Lesnar vs. The Fiend at the show. You replace WWE's most dominant powerhouse with the second-most dominant Superstar and you get this match!

It does help to a great degree that the two men involved in this match were once part of the same cult and therefore, they have an in-built program if WWE does decide to go down this route for Survivor Series 2019!

#3 The Miz

I do not necessarily think that this is a big match per se, but this is clearly the route that WWE was going to take before the whole Saudi Arabia fiasco happened. Anyone who shows up on Miz TV generally ends up becoming The Miz's next feud.

And then, if you were to examine the feud as such, you'd realize that it's not as bad a situation as you may think at first glance. The Miz is excellent on the microphone, and if there's someone who can bring out the best of Bray Wyatt on the microphone, it's, of course, The Miz!

Something we tend to forget with The Fiend's new persona is exactly how good Wyatt used to be with a live microphone. We haven't seen that side of the man in some time.

The Miz hasn't really clicked as a babyface but a feud with The Fiend may just change that.

#2 Roman Reigns

Sometimes, it just makes sense to put your biggest antagonist up against the biggest protagonist in your brand. I realize that it does seem like Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns are on the warpath at the moment, but Roman Reigns has just been kept out of the title picture for far too long. At a time when more people are cheering for Roman Reigns than Seth Rollins, WWE really needs to capitalize on the whole situation.

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt just makes a lot of sense, especially if you consider their history together. The two men have clashed in the past, but Reigns is a different man after his battle with cancer and so is Wyatt after adopting a new persona that the world has embraced with open arms. Reigns has also been out of the title picture for way too long.

Reigns brings out the best in Wyatt as we've seen in their previous encounters. Even if this match doesn't happen at Survivor Series, it's certain to take place somewhere down the line.

#1 The Demon King Finn Balor

A lot of people wrote in on our social media platforms asking why Finn Balor hasn't been a part of the NXT invasion. The answer may be very simple if you spare a moment to think about it.

Finn Balor was the first opponent for Bray Wyatt's new 'Fiend' persona, something that has gone on to haunt the company ever since, winning the Universal Championship in no time. The very fact that Finn Balor had to take a sabbatical after the loss to sell the injury speaks volumes about how serious it was supposed to look.

This means that the rivalry between the two men is far from over and it may just compel Finn Balor to bring out the darker side of his persona against The Fiend. We know that The Fiend has Balor's number, but can The Demon King defeat The Fiend you ask?

We may find out at Survivor Series 2019.
