#2: Being a special attraction in WWE leaves more room for creative development

The Fiend's sporadic appearances so far have allowed Bray Wyatt to project and develop his creative ideas in the gaps between.

Wyatt didn't immediately appear on television right after the original set of Firefly Fun House episodes ended. Instead, WWE began to subtly reference the character, by peppering appearances of his Fun House puppets in the background of Raw and SmackDown the following weeks.

He took time to let the ideas grow, as Wyatt's fans kept anticipating his return during RAW and SmackDown Live every week.

Similarly, WWE's decision to not let The Fiend appear on RAW and SmackDown Live following SummerSlam 2019 irked a lot of viewers in the beginning, but it paid off fruitfully as we got to see him manhandle Jerry "The King" Lawler on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW.

Had this been the case during Bray's original run as part of the Wyatt Family, his previous character would have been more successful, to say the least.

Therefore, Wyatt's sporadic appearances not only allow his creative ideas to grow, but it also increases his status as a modern-day special attraction in WWE.
