One of the most (un)desirable feuds going into TLC 2017 was that between Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor. The mid-card feud appeared to be centered on both men’s alter-egos and esoteric personalities, both of which appeared to be centered on some kind of supernatural powers.

WWE spent weeks having Balor play up this ‘Demon King’ alter-ego as some kind of ominous force, which Wyatt countered with an awfully-executed alter-ego of his own, which featured Wyatt with a distorted face and half-feminine-half-mechanical voice called ‘Sister Abigail’.

Clearly, if this match were to take place between ‘the Demon King’ and ‘Sister Abigail’ it would’ve been one of the most over-the-top and ridiculous gimmick matches of the year.

However, these plans never came to fruition, as Bray Wyatt was stricken with an illness that prevented him from wrestling altogether. Thus, to save TLC from being a complete debacle, SmackDown’s A.J. Styles wrestled Balor in Wyatt’s place. That match ended up being the best match on that show, and one of the best WWE matches of the year.
