#2 Have The Fiend confront Brock Lesnar

Why not have The Fiend confront Brock Lesnar out of nowhere?

At this point, there is essentially no chance of seeing Universal Champion Bray Wyatt square off one-on-one at Survivor Series, something that many fans have been hoping for and maybe even expected, since the last few years has seen the WWE and Universal Champions wrestle each other in a non-title matches at the November supershow.There is at least a chance of the two crossing paths, because even though they are on different shows, the pay-per-views are all cross-branded. In fact, with WWE having a penchant for capitalizing off of dream matches and building them up into blockbusters, it only makes sense for the company to have a confrontation, however brief it may be, sooner rather than later.

Not only will it make fans come absolutely unglued when the moment finally arrives (remember the time Bray Wyatt stood face-to-face with Triple H and the crowd went nuts?), especially with the sharp contrast in the their characters, it also allows the company a chance to script the narrative in a way that makes sense. If they do it correctly, it could be a way to cement The Fiend as a babyface, since that appears to be what the fans are clamoring for.

Think about it this way. Brock Lesnar, in the eyes of many fans, is the embodiment of everything wrong with WWE. He's a man that fans believe is only there to collect a paycheck, show up only when the money is right, and appear as infrequently as possible while still keeping the cash flowing in. If WWE had The Fiend call him out on all that and make his life a living hell over the next several months with his mind games, you have the foundation for a blockbuster WrestleMania match.

The fans are likely, at this point, expecting Lesnar only to interact with Rey Mysterio (and possibly his son Dominic) at Survivor Series. It also appears that Daniel Bryan may be the one squaring off with The Fiend. Having Wyatt come out of nowhere to attack, or even just stare down, Brock Lesnar once their matches are complete could be a moment that nobody is expecting.
