Once The Fiend was introduced to the WWE Universe in 2019, Bray Wyatt continued to add many layers to the character following his debut in the Firefly Fun House. Wyatt created an alter-ego that helped him cope with the trauma and failures from his past. He had puppets representing past acquaintances from his Wyatt Family days including Mercy the Buzzard, Ramblin' Rabbit, and Abigail the Witch.

Each of those characters defined his earlier runs in the WWE. He always referenced Sister Abigail while also telling his fireflies to "follow the buzzards". Every person he targeted was someone that he had a prior history with in the WWE, starting with Finn Balor. From Balor to Seth Rollins to Daniel Bryan, each man fell to The Fiend.

That character's success is something that could feasibly be replicated by a female performer on the roster. It would allow that woman to be extremely creative in both storylines and presentation.

While it may or may not have the same success as The Fiend, it still stands to reason that a current female Superstar could see her fortunes increase if she was associated with the Firefly Fun House in some capacity. It could mean she simply shows up during the segments or she could take part in the current angles and have an alter-ego similar to The Fiend. Here are six women in WWE who could benefit from becoming a part of the Firefly Fun House.


#6 Ruby Riott

Ruby Riott already has an alternative look and was the leader of her former faction, The Riott Squad. She was the most complete star of the group but never really ascended in WWE's women's division. Riott has the potential to be one of the top women in the company but she just needs the backing of Creative.

Joining the Firefly Fun House, it would immediately raise her stock. She's decent on the mic and could expand her repertoire. Maybe she incorporates the reasons behind some of her tattoos. She could even revisit some of her history from NXT since she faced the likes of The IIconics, Shayna Baszler and many others down in developmental. She also crossed paths with Ember Moon. Then we would have the most obvious path in confronting Liv Morgan but on a darker level.

Riott has certainly proven that she's a solid performer that just needs the right opportunity to get a push forward. By portraying a character in the Firefly Fun House, her chances would increase exponentially.

#5 Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan's character in NXT was a basic babyface version of herself. She was routinely bullied but was a resilient underdog. When she debuted as a member of The Riott Squad, it allowed her to try out a heel character. Since she had the backing of Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan, Morgan acted like the little sister who would cause trouble but then run to her bigger sisters to protect her.

The whole trio caused some chaos backstage and in the ring, and the whole time, Morgan acted a little unhinged. Her new character, albeit a slight return to a more mature babyface, doesn't seem like a character that could best the top women on RAW.

Morgan has proven that she can pull off a rambunctious persona, so she could make a female character work if associated with the Firefly Fun House. She'd need a little help with her promos, but Wyatt is one of the best in the business at that. The visual presentation would be easy for the former Riott Squad member because she's had blonde, pink, and blue hair at various points. That's not even mentioning her trademark blue tongue that she used to work with.

A female version of Wyatt, or something similar, would certainly propel someone to a higher spot on the card, and Morgan is someone who could benefit from such a change. She might maintain her current direction but outside of picking up consecutive wins over Riott, Morgan probably wouldn't fare as well against Asuka, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, or Shayna Baszler.

#4 Chelsea Green

Chelsea Green made her name as the character Laurel Van Ness in Impact Wrestling. She initially started out as a character similar to what she is using in NXT. Van Ness was rich and got whatever she wanted thanks to her family's fortune. At one point, she wanted to marry Braxton Sutter but he declined the chance.

It was that rejection that spurned Van Ness to come out in a torn wedding dress and smeared makeup. She would cackle and scream every now and then but was still a good worker between the ropes. Pulling off a "crazy" character is hard, but Green proved that she could do it before she got to WWE.

I know that she's working as the focal point of the Robert Stone Brand and that's perfectly fine. The only problem is that it's not really any different than Charlotte Flair, Vanessa Borne, Aliyah, and other arrogant female personas in WWE. They all think that they are better than everyone with some even thinking so because of how they look. If there weren't other similar heels, then Green would have a great opportunity to stand out and move up the card.

If she switched things up to a variation of her "Hot Mess Van Ness" character from Impact, it could do wonders for her. She has already shown that she can pull it off and that she's willing to take risks to improve. Joining the Firefly Fun House would do both of those things for her.

#3 Asuka

Similar to Chelsea Green, Asuka had many different looks and personas before she joined WWE. She would dress in similar gear but have ghostly face paint or that of an evil clown. Her historic run in NXT saw her as the babyface NXT Women's Champion but she was a dominant force regardless.

Her heel turn last year rejuvenated her career and it allowed her to utilize some face paint and green mist. Why not lean even further into her pre-WWE history and have her paint her entire face in an imposing/scary visage? Very few women in WWE use face paint but Rosemary has proven that it can work and work well.

The Empress of Tomorrow is already one of the best in-ring workers in all of WWE, so the main obstacle would be the language barrier. She could either speak a little English in promos for the Fun House or she could continue yelling in her native Japanese. Another option could be to have Wyatt "interpret" what she's trying to get across.

Asuka also has history with practically all of the women on the main roster, so she could hang the pictures of her victims alongside the victims of The Fiend. She's extremely talented and could pull off anything thrown her way.

#2 Paige

This one is obviously a little different due to Paige not being an active member of the roster. She sporadically appears on TV and contributes regularly to WWE Backstage. But why couldn't she contribute as a member of the Firefly Fun House?

Paige is still a valuable and popular figure within the WWE Universe and the crowds pop whenever her music hits. She may not be able to contribute in a physical capacity, but she's among the better women on the mic. She could work on storylines inside Firefly Fun House segments.

A way to bypass physical participation could be to bring someone up from NXT to do her bidding. She could target someone on the roster and bring up any history they may have together. Her "Fiend" could attack whoever she chooses and do all of the dirty work.

The Firefly Fun House is still creative and intriguing, but adding a real-life character, and one backed by the talents of Paige, would make things all the more interesting. The Anti-Diva says she's retired from in-ring action and that's fine. It doesn't mean that she can't contribute in other ways. It's a shame she isn't being used in some capacity like she was when she managed the Kabuki Warriors. This could be a way to allow her to do something different.

#1 Nikki Cross

Alexa Bliss could also pull off this character because she's great on the mic and has proven to be a fan of cosplay. But she's already established and has a strong character of her own. Nikki Cross has had a good run since officially joining the main roster last year but has come across mainly as Alexa's good friend. There haven't been many layers to her other than that.

When she was a member of Sanity, she was one of the most unique Superstars in all of WWE. Cross was like an unhinged, feral being that didn't fear anyone or anything. She flung herself all over the place and even stepped up to some of the men in NXT, including when she consistently told Aleister Black that "she knew" who attacked him.

Her accent is thick but she's perfectly fine on the microphone. She's already proven that she would have the physical part of the act down in the ring. In promos, she would be perfect since she could return to acting a bit unhinged. Things could start by popping up in the Firefly Fun House. When she goes completely crazy is where her Fiend alter-ego could come into play.

Cross is already bubbly and friendly on the surface but has proven that when she is pushed or you attack her friend, she'll lash out. The former member of Sanity would see her stock increase exponentially but she'd still have the crowd on her side.
