Only a few weeks ago, Braun Strowman replaced Roman Reigns in a match against Goldberg at WrestleMania 36. He faced him and won the match. Now, the new Universal Champion has started a rivalry against his former leader, Bray Wyatt.
Strowman is scheduled to face the Firefly Fun House version of Wyatt at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and fans are eager to know if the former Eater Of Worlds will regain the Universal Championship. It has been only a few weeks since The Monster Among Men won the Universal Championship and it's his first reign with a major title. Does that mean Wyatt doesn’t stand a chance to win the championship? Obviously not.
He can indeed defeat Strowman – although, it may seem unlikely. But still, here are five things that could happen if The Monster Among Men loses at Money in the Bank.

#5 The Money in the Bank winner challenges Bray Wyatt
Another interesting thing to note is that several Superstars will climb the corporate ladder to win the MITB briefcase. Something like this hasn’t happened in WWE before, and this is why fans are excited about the show. WWE doesn’t experiment with their product often but it’s good that they are at least trying to keep the fans engaged during these uncertain times.
If Bray Wyatt wins the Universal Championship at the ppv, the Superstar who becomes Mr. Money in the Bank could choose to cash it his briefcase on him. Here’s why.
One knows that Wyatt has a huge advantage in his matches when he is in his Fiend persona. But will he prepared for an impromptu match especially when he is competing in the Firefly Fun House version.
The Money in the Bank winner could wait until the right time to cash in his contract against Wyatt. This way, he will have an advantage over him.
Consider this. The Firefly Fun House Wyatt is standing after retaining the title when someone comes to cash-in. Certainly, it’s much easier to defeat Wyatt this way.
#4 Drew McIntyre vs Bray Wyatt at Survivor Series
Drew McIntyre fulfilled his prophecy when he defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 clean. He also kicked out of an F5 at one which even shocked The Beast Incarnate. This week on RAW, WWE confirmed that McIntyre will take on Seth Rollins after the latter agreed to face him at Money in the Bank.
If we assume that Bray Wyatt will defeat Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship, it opens up a possibility of McIntyre vs Wyatt happening in WWE.
For now, WWE hasn’t officially confirmed when Survivor Series 2020 will happen. But since it’s one of the Big Four pay-per-views, we can assume it’ll not be canceled. While I know that there are still a few months before Survivor Series could happen, it’s likely that once Wyatt wins the title, he won’t lose it until a few months.
If both McIntyre and Wyatt manage to remain champion until Survivor Series then WWE can surely book a Champion vs Champion match between them. Last year, WWE didn’t do this because Lesnar and Wyatt were champions but now, we can see this happening. Fans will love this match because these two haven’t faced each other on live television.
#3 Roman Reigns returns to challenge Bray Wyatt
Originally, Roman Reigns was going to face The Fiend for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36. But the plans changed for reasons we don't know about.
Goldberg defeated Wyatt at Super ShowDown and Reigns stepped up to challenge him instead. But then once again, WWE had to change their plans at the last minute as The Big Dog pulled out of the match due to the prevailing conditions and concern over his health. They replaced Reigns with Braun Strowman and The Monster Among Men dethroned Goldberg.
If Bray Wyatt wins the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank, it opens up several possibilities. One of them is the return of Roman Reigns. When The Big Dog comes back, he can lay another challenge for the title. This is a title that he did not lose in the first place.
This is the most likely thing that could happen. Reigns vs Wyatt is a match that could headline this year's SummerSlam. Until then, the genius behind the Firefly Fun House could sit on the sidelines or work against someone else for some time.
#2 Strowman’s momentum will plunge down
So far, we have only looked around the possibilities surrounding Bray Wyatt. But what about Braun Strowman? A loss to his former Wyatt Family leader will affect him.
It is a possibility that he will lose out on the momentum he has gained with his win over Goldberg. We know Strowman did not have a WrestleMania moment until he defeated the WWE Hall Of Famer and also, he was stuck in the mid-card for sometime.
It was a blessing that he defeated Goldberg but a loss to Wyatt early in his title reign could hamper The Monster Among Men’s momentum going forward.
Strowman has received an opportunity to showcase his skills to the fans after a long time. He can benefit WWE in many ways. All he need is some time and if he loses at Money in the Bank, it can have many consequences that the fans didn't even think of.
Will Strowman ever win the Universal Championship again? How will he recover from his loss? These are some questions that will be raised by the fans.
#1 Backlash from the fans
For one, Bray Wyatt is a heel, or at least that’s how WWE portrays him. And Braun Strowman is a face. But in reality, both are fan favorites.
Who would you want to win at Money in the Bank? Right now, fans are happy that WWE is pushing Strowman after all these years. They may not appreciate someone taking the title off him, even if the Superstar to do this is Wyatt.
He has gained momentum since defeating John Cena and he would do just fine without a title for a few more months. The WWE Universe may not like Strowman losing at the moment and it could create backlash. This is probably the best time of his career and WWE should take advantage of it.
Do you think Bray Wyatt will defeat Braun Strowman at Money in the Bank? Let us know in the comments below.
