5 WWE legends who need to return and lose to 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt is a character unlike any other in WWE. During Bray Wyatt's run as The Eater of Worlds, he was constantly compared to The Undertaker, even though there were many noticeable differences between the two.

The larger fanbase understood that there was a lot left to be desired, especially with the way WWE had booked Wyatt as a non-threat despite the immense potential being evident. Little did anyone know that it would take 8 months away for Wyatt to return in a big way - coming up with a new character altogether and then taking it to the next level.

The success was instant, with 'The Fiend' being the most captivating character on-screen. He's never needed to have 5-star matches and still doesn't. With a match against Goldberg coming to fruition, here are five other WWE legends who should return and put The Fiend over.

#5. Hulk Hogan

An interesting interaction between the WWE legend and Bray Wyatt

On the Valentine's Day episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Bray Wyatt had an interaction with yet another legend, Hulk Hogan. The two had a tense segment, teasing an eventual face-off.

While we admit it's unlikely and can understand many fans not wanting to see this match, it doesn't have to be a conventional one.

Hogan could have a match that runs just a few minutes where he gets squashed without needing to take any bumps. Since it isn't the 1980s or 90s anymore, the chances of him infamously politicking are slim.

It would be a great way to put The Fiend over and one that could result in another photo frame being added on the Firefly Fun House wall.

#4. Triple H

On the road to WrestleMania 32, Bray Wyatt (alongside Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman) had a brief but amazing confrontation with Triple H. They stared each other down while the crowd chanted "Yes!" and Wyatt grazed his hand against Triple H's WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

While Triple H's appearances could be decreasing and he isn't needed as much, he could still have a match against The Fiend. It would all come full circle as he should (and likely would), put Wyatt over.

Triple H has been relatively unselfish these past few years, losing to the likes of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. When he faced Batista last year at WrestleMania 35, many felt he was long overdue a win at the Show of Shows. That's a big change from the days where he was accused of burying Superstars.

Either way, this match would be a massive one and another major milestone for Wyatt in his career. There's still fear over the unrealized potential that The Fiend has.

#3. John Cena

John Cena's appearances have been decreasing by the year and his potential utilization at WrestleMania 36 is questionable. He's another legend who has shown nothing but generosity these past 4-5 years, putting over top talent on multiple occasions.

AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Finn Balor are some of the names he's helped in a big way during and after his transition into a part-time Superstar.

Having been on the top of the mountain longer than anyone in modern WWE history, he knows the value of giving back and he did that with Bray Wyatt in 2017 at the Elimination Chamber and two nights after, telling Wyatt "you're a real champ now" as he took the pinfall.

He beat Wyatt at WrestleMania 30 in a match that he shouldn't have, but he can still have a great feud with The Fiend - with the storyline taking a new form as compared to their rivalry 6 years ago.

Utilizing Cena against Bray Wyatt would be the best thing WWE could do and there's little doubt that Cena would put him over.

#2. The Undertaker

The Undertaker continues to show no signs of stopping. Although his appearances are more selective, he still keeps coming back for more.

If that is the case, there are few exciting opponents that he can face. It's pointless trying to get a "dream match" out of him with another old Superstar, as we saw how disastrously the Goldberg match at Super ShowDown in 2019 turned out.

The Undertaker has had a feud with Bray Wyatt on two separate occasions - a small one for WrestleMania 31 and another rivalry involving Kane and The Wyatt Family later that same year - where The Undertaker and Kane defeated Wyatt and Harper in a tag team match.

Although we're not fans of comparison between the two Superstars, there's no denying that the best way to use The Undertaker would be in a match against 'The Fiend'. Beating The Undertaker is something Wyatt hasn't done before and it would be a huge boost in his growing résumé.

#1. The Rock

Although it may sound wrong, if The Rock ever does return to the ring, he "owes" Bray Wyatt one. It's hard to forget their WrestleMania 32 interaction four years ago. It was in front of the largest wrestling audience ever and while Wyatt was originally scheduled to face (and presumably lose to) Brock Lesnar, he wasn't on any match and was used instead to confront The Rock.

During the segment, it was evident that Wyatt's popularity was through the roof but the night ended as most major nights did during that run - with his back against the canvas and face towards the ceiling.

It was another instance of his momentum being derailed. He turned face just a night later, but an injury changed those plans. We know that The Rock said he "quietly retired" from wrestling, but in this industry and with WWE, you can never say never.

If The Rock were to return, we would understand WWE wanting to put him up against someone like Roman Reigns - but facing The Fiend would make a lot of storyline sense as well.
