How many of you get excited the moment the lights start going out these days? I'm sure many! There was a thrill in the way Undertaker's "gong" used to suddenly hit the arena and WWE has done a great job in building Wyatt's sudden appearance similarly.
Tonight on RAW, we saw The Fiend appear out of nowhere to take down the Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle. The Hall of Famer was there as the special guest referee for Drew McIntyre vs Cedric Alexander, but unfortunately, The Fiend had other plans in store.
Not long ago, Wyatt attacked Mick Foley in the same way and took him out with his mandible claw on the RAW reunion. This makes Angle the third victim of Wyatt after Foley and Finn Balor.
In this article, let's take a look at the three reasons why The Fiend is attacking these legends. How excited are you to see him in action this Sunday at SummerSlam?
#3 Adds a sense of unpredictability to the character
Undoubtedly, Bray Wyatt has been an absolute superstar ever since returning with this new Firefly Funhouse gimmick. One of the biggest reasons for the huge success of the Funhouse episodes was the sheer unpredictability and out of the box thinking on it.
The introduction of The Fiend has been one of the best build-ups to a character in WWE in the last many years. He has been built and portrayed as an unstoppable force who does what he wants and when he wants.
With Wyatt not showing up on RAW last week, and his rivalry with Balor continuing on SmackDown, no one was expecting him to show up tonight on RAW, let alone attack a Hall of Famer. If there's one thing that this segment told us, it was that you never know when and where The Fiend might show up.
Who knows whether he will show up tomorrow night on SmackDown or not, but don't lose your hope until the very end of the show as The Fiend might show up anytime and anywhere, despite whatever is going on inside the ring.
It won't be wrong to call him the biggest superstar in WWE right now! What do you think?
#2 Helps build Bray Wyatt without Finn Balor being involved
Officially, Bray Wyatt's first match after his return is set to take place at SummerSlam when The Fiend takes on Finn Balor. With the two building their rivalry on the blue brand, letting Wyatt appear on RAW in this manner is a great way to build up his new character.
The fact that he is attacking retired legends and Hall of Famers is great booking from WWE as there's no way this would divert any attention from his ongoing rivalry with Finn Balor. There's no way any of these legends would call back Wyatt to attack them and start a feud of their own, hence these are just one-time attacks that serve only one purpose - build The Fiend as an unstoppable force.
Had it been any regular wrestler in their place, that would have started a parallel rivalry for Wyatt, which he is more than capable of handling, but as the old saying goes - something special should not be given too much.
#1 Bray Wyatt has been used to put over many legends in the past
Before Bray Wyatt turned into the vicious creature we know as The Fiend, he was leading the Wyatt Family, making false threats and calling himself the new Face of Fear. During this period, Wyatt locked horns with many legends and almost every time, ended up losing to them or putting them over.
Few of the biggest examples include the embarrassment at the hands of The Rock and John Cena at WrestleMania 32, losing to The Undertaker and Kane multiple times, putting over the likes of Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho, and many more.
Maybe this is the way for Bray Wyatt to take retribution for those losses and taking the favor back from the legends. The Fiend is one of the most popular characters in pro-wrestling at the moment, and there should not be any hesitation from WWE's part to use more legends to put this guy over.
