The Fiend personality followed the late wrestler through to his last appearances with WWE and the Firefly Fun House storyline, which also involved former Women's Champion Alexa Bliss.

Many consider this the best moment of the late Bray Wyatt's WWE career. He became the WWE Champion in February of 2017 when he stood tall inside the Elimination Chamber and defeated five other superstars to claim the WWE Championship.
