WWE SmackDown: 5 Theories why Bray Wyatt reverted to his swamp cult leader persona instead of The Fiend gimmick against Braun Strowman

#4 Cult leader Bray Wyatt saves The Fiend vs. Braun Strowman for SummerSlam

I need more of the Fiend in my life, hoping he shows up at Backlash to attack Braun. Got a feeling they're going to put the belt back on him until Roman comes back. pic.twitter.com/GGw6uBVToV

I know that a lot of fans were upset that Bray Wyatt vs. Braun Strowman was the big feud right after Braun Strowman defeated Goldberg to become the Universal Champion. A lot of people, quite rightfully, felt that Bray Wyatt vs. Braun Strowman was the biggest feud on SmackDown and should have been saved for a much bigger stage, like SummerSlam 2020.

They will be delighted to know that the clash of two unstoppable forces, Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman may very well happen at SummerSlam 2020 because of the way that the story has stretched out thus far. This current feud is clearly leading to a clash between Braun Strowman and The Fiend and SummerSlam feels like the ideal stage for something so titanic.

The unreleased story of Bray Wyatt's time at home is going to be a best seller one day#WWE #SmackDown

In this manner, WWE would have actually stretched the feud all the way from WrestleMania to SummerSlam but in a very creative manner, where at no point does it seem forced.

Compare this to the neverending feud between Roman Reigns and King Corbin.
