And now, let's get the second-most obvious reason out of the way as well. Bray Wyatt has been attacking legends on RAW over the past few months. It started with Mick Foley and then went on to Kurt Angle and Jerry 'The King' Lawler, as well.
There is much speculation that Sting could be the next victim of The Fiend when SmackDown debuts on FOX this October. But I'm guessing that this is a trend that is going to continue until The Fiend attacks The Undertaker. And that could potentially set up a match for WrestleMania next year.
So, Kane was just the latest legend to eat a Mandible Claw from The Fiend and while the legend killer gimmick has been used by Randy Orton in the past, it has taken on a much darker and more ominous form with The Fiend, Bray Wyatt.
