5 things WWE could do with The Fiend in 2020

It's no secret that WWE struck absolute gold when they debuted The Fiend earlier this year. While the character has had a few stumbles here and there, momentum seems to be on his side. The company also seems to have some pretty big plans in store for this paranormal being in 2020, which should be very interesting to watch play out.

Wyatt's fans could possibly receive answers to some of the most crucial questions about the character's lore over the next couple months. WWE could even use the new creature to dive into the original Wyatt character's untold backstory, which was never really achieved in the vague and mostly undefined character that he portrayed beginning back in 2013.

With that being said and another calendar year almost upon us, here are 5 things WWE could do with The Fiend in 2020. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you want to see The Fiend do as the new year comes around.

#5 Use his healing powers

Will The WWE Universe finally see the extent of Bray Wyatt's healing powers?

One of the most intriguing pieces of The Fiend's character is his yet-to-be explored supposed ability to heal. Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, while The Fiend has been doing plenty of hurting, fans are yet to have even a glimpse of what his healing powers may be. It begs the questions of when WWE will actually do it and how it will all play out when they do.

While some might see this as one of the more obscure parts of his character, it does open the door for a plethora of possibilities down the road. Maybe it could even be what turns him babyface after a while and helps him interact with other Superstars when there is less focus on him.

Of course WWE is going to have to frame this power in a believable way and have it make sense to the overall storyline, but the company has proven themselves more than capable of that in the past.

#4 Recruit a Superstar to play Sister Abigail

Will WWE ever reveal the backstory behind sister Abigail?

Sister Abigail.

The old Bray Wyatt talked about her constantly and how she changed his life. He talked about how she empowered him to be the confident leader of The Wyatt Family and recruit others for their mission.. Unfortunately for the WWE Universe, they never got to see the company's real life version of her, which left some feeling unsatisfied.

It was almost like a crucial part of Wyatt's backstory never got to be told and thus the true depth of the character was never reached. Interestingly enough however, Wyatt debuting as The Fiend earlier this year could pave the way for WWE finally getting to revisit this part of his character.

Not only is that evident by the plethora of female Superstars currently available to take on the role of Sister Abigail, but also by what it would do to the overall lore. It could go a long way in answering some nagging questions about Wyatt's former identity and what role it plays in his current iteration.

In the end, there is finally a way for WWE to do it and they need to capitalize on it while they have a chance. They already did this with the amazing story they are putting on every week and the merchandise they are selling, so why not go just a little bit further?

#3 Bring back the original Bray Wyatt

What if WWE brought back the original Bray Wyatt?

Bray Wyatt stated in his very first episode of The Firefly Fun House that he used to be a very bad man. Whether that was WWE's way of mentioning his real-life issues at the time or just a nod to the inferiority of the former Wyatt, it is still something that needs to be followed up on.

In fact, between WWE already making clear distinctions between The Fiend and the Fun House version of Bray Wyatt, it makes perfect sense to keep rotating characters. At least that way, WWE has an almost endless array of booking options going forward and it also allows them to continue to add to The Fiend's polarizing behavior.

In all honesty, WWE needs to keep the intrigue of Wyatt going as much as possible and going back to his days as a dark woods cult leader would be a great way to do that. Maybe it will even help explain to fans what ultimately brought Wyatt to become the man he is now and add to the spectacle that is The Fiend.

#2 Feud with Demon King Finn Balor

Demon King Finn Balor versus The Fiend. Who wins?

The Fiend's first opponent in WWE was none other than Finn Balor and while the contest turned out to be nothing more than a glorified squash match, it could have planted a seed for something later. In fact, it could be one of the greatest dream matches of all time and might even help reestablish Balor as The Demon King.

If nothing else, WWE really needs to follow up on the events of SummerSlam in some capacity. Not only is that evident by the way that battling The Fiend has seemingly revived Balor's career, but also by the supernatural element WWE could incorporate into the match.

In the end, Demon King versus The Fiend is a great way to go back to where it began, help flesh out Balor's supernatural character and give The WWE Universe a dream match to rememeber.

#1 WrestleMania match with The Undertaker

Will WWE do this dream rematch?

The Fiend versus The Undertaker. Who wins?

While a lot of the WWE Universe might think this match may never take place, especially with The Deadman's age and laundry list of injuries, that doesn't mean it's out of the question. Furthermore, between The Fiend's whole character being heavily reliant on parlor tricks and The Undertaker's limited mobility, it could be a beautiful "passing of the torch" moment.

Sure, it might never be a technical masterpiece or even the match that steals the show at WrestleMania 36, but it doesn't have to do either of those things. Heck, this dream match just taking place would be enough to enthrall the WWE Universe and allow the company to showcase the best of both characters.

We would be able to see how The Undertaker responds to The Fiend's paranormal nature, something that he hasn't had to deal with in a long time, and that's enough incentive right there. On top of that, Wyatt lost to Undertaker in 2015 at WrestleMania in a match that many people thought he should have won, or at least believed that he was going to. That was their first chance at the "passing the torch" of being the Face of Fear. At WrestleMania 36, 5 years later, WWE has an opportunity to finally do it.
