#4. The Fiend being used sparingly

Does it seem like The Fiend is getting used less and less?

While WWE has continued to do Firefly Funhouse segments with Bray Wyatt over the past couple of weeks, the company has seemingly ceased any use of The Fiend. In fact, The Fiend didn't even appear at he TLC pay per view, which was chalked up as WWE wanting to showcase Wyatt's other persona. There might be other implications behind that, too, however.

This might be the start of WWE using The Fiend sparingly, which is a great idea, and for multiple reasons.

First, it makes when he actually does appear all the more special and unpredictable. Secondly, it allows the company to stop and start the storyline at their convivence, and go back to the drawing board if they need to.

If nothing else, its the absolutely perfect reset button and it allows WWE to use his surprise appearances to their advantage. WWE clearly knows they have something big with The Fiend - something they are going to be able to get a lot of mileage out of. So why would they waste their time trotting him out every single week and turning the character stale?
