Hands down, this has to top this list! Bray Wyatt has been a creative genius for so long, but somehow his gimmick as the leader of the Wyatt Family failed to make a big impact, as he struggled to establish himself as a top Superstar. However, 2019 was his year to shine and dominate!

The RAW after WrestleMania aired a spooky vignette, which became the start of something huge. A few weeks later, Wyatt made his return with a completely new and bizarre gimmick of a fun-loving guy inside his Firefly Funhouse with his puppet friends.

The WWE Universe quickly fell in love with the hidden & terrifying layers of the character, as the smiling new Wyatt gave hints of a deep and dark secret inside of him.

What he revealed was a demonic creature, straight out of a horror movie, which we all know now as The Fiend. Wyatt, through his utter brilliance, quickly turned this initially-questionable gimmick into the hottest act in all of pro-wrestling.

The eerie atmosphere The Fiend managed to create with his SummerSlam entrance was the icing on the cake. Wyatt finally transformed into the new face of fear, one which he previously claimed to be.

At Crown Jewel, WWE showed their complete faith in the character, as The Fiend dethroned Seth Rollins to become the Universal Champion, starting Wyatt's second World Title reign.

Not long ago, it seemed Wyatt was done, but he's made a stunning comeback! However, the best part is that he's just started, as there's so much more to explore with this gimmick, and it'll be exciting to see what Wyatt has in store during the coming year!
