WWE SmackDown Live before Clash of Champions: 3 signs that indicate towards The Fiend confronting The Undertaker

With RAW before Clash of Champions out of the way, only SmackDown Live remains before the PPV. The final episode before the PPV is set to dot the i’s and cross the t's.

RAW did a decent job to build up the PPV with some good segments. Stone Cold Steve Austin successfully managed to moderate the contract signing for the WWE Universal Championship and also laid out AJ Styles with a crushing Stunner.

On SmackDown Live, we could expect to see Randy Orton going another step in his feud against Kofi Kingston while The Revival could also confront the other members of the New Day, who are set to take on each other for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at Clash of Champions.

However, this article isn’t concerning any of that. This one is about The Undertaker coming to SmackDown Live and Bray Wyatt’s recent actions, which makes me think the latter will confront the former – by either attacking him (less probable) or by just standing face-to-face with him after turning the lights off (more probable) and here are three signs that indicate towards that…


#3 Undertaker is set to make an appearance

WWE announced that the Phenom will be present at Madison Square Garden for the blue brand and one can only wonder why.

The Deadman is not scheduled for a match at Clash of Champions and won’t have anything to add to the PPV with just a little under a week to go. After all, who can he start a feud against now?

So, what is the purpose of him coming to SmackDown Live before Clash of Champions?

His appearance indicates towards a confrontation between him and The Fiend, which would get the latter more over than ever before.

#2 The Fiend is the new Legend Killer

During the first decade of this millennium, Randy Orton was dubbed as the Legend Killer as he took down numerous legends in the business while making his way to the top of the mountain.

Right now, no-one deserves this nickname more than The Fiend. Recently, he took down Jerry Lawler with a Mandible Claw. He also attacked Mick Foley and Kurt Angle before that as his legend-killing list kept burgeoning.

With The Undertaker set to make an appearance on SmackDown Live, where he has nothing to promote, it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that The Phenom is going to be the next in line to receive something from The Fiend.

While I don’t expect him to be on the receiving end of a Mandible Claw like the others, we could expect a few mind games from The Fiend to the master himself. The Undertaker is known to use the darkness to intimidate his opponents and The Fiend could do the same with the Deadman before suddenly appearing in front of him and then suddenly disappearing.

#1 11:19

Bray Wyatt came out with a new segment of the Firefly Fun House on RAW in the latest episode. Everything that Bray Wyatt says and does has a meaning behind it – that has been a part of his character ever since he became Bray Wyatt.

On RAW’s Firefly Fun House segment, Abby The Witch complained about her clock being stuck at 3:16, blaming Stone Cold Steve Austin for it: “My clock has been stuck at 316 ever since Stone Cold stopped by.”

After that, all the members of Wyatt’s Fun House started chanting ‘stranger danger’ in unison before he yelled at them to stop it. He then took out the hammer and promised Abby that he would fix her clock, after which he hit the clock with the hammer and changed the time to 11:19.

Now, as I mentioned earlier, whatever Wyatt does has a meaning and 11:19 can’t be just a random number. As it turns out, The Undertaker debuted on the 19th of November in 1990.

So, is this a sign that he has now moved on from Austin and will now focus on The Undertaker’s appearance on SmackDown Live?
