The Fiend is the ruler of the SmackDown Universe. The current holder of the WWE Universal Championship, he's been busy with Daniel Bryan. He faced Bryan in what was a renewal of their feud five and a half years ago, only in a different form entirely.

Apart from the red lights, the match was a masterclass of storytelling, with Daniel Bryan's character arc going to places that it's never gone before. However, the original plans at Survivor Series were not for Wyatt to face Daniel Bryan, but to be in a squash match similar to SummerSlam earlier this year.

His originally scheduled opponent? None other than The Miz. That's right. Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio had reported that the idea was for The A-Lister to face Wyatt at Survivor Series and it would have been a squash match.

However, for reasons unknown, that match was scrapped and The Miz became an interesting side character in the feud, a position that seems to have some long-term implications. We hope this rumor is true because The Miz would have been a good choice to get squashed but we're happy with how it turned out either way.
