The big question may finally be answered! Bray Wyatt is set for a major return on WWE.

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt faced off against his Braun Strowman back at Money in the Bank. We haven’t seen him since, and many are growing to miss his devilish smile.

The big question that needs answering is- Where is Bray Wyatt? The once creepiest man in WWE along with his occult-centric group have all taken a dip the last year.

With the possible exception of Braun Strowman, it has been a rocky road for the other members of the Wyatt family.

Wyatt couldn’t find a proper storyline to fit into after his clash against Daniel Bryan. The huge feud was filled with gritty encounters.

WWE can’t find a purpose for Wyatt and the occult-themed gimmick wasn’t working anymore. It was way past its selling point

WWE then decided to change the look of Wyatt by introducing ‘The Fiend’. This character has a very strong statement in terms of appearance and the mask is terrifying.

This gimmick took off at the start. WWE had hoped for the same audience response as the “Demon Bálor” gimmick and costume.

“The Fiend” or just Bray Wyatt?

The crowd liked it at first. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt’s feud with Braun Strowman was the perfect platform to establish this persona. However, since Money in the Bank, we haven’t seen Bray Wyatt.

WWE may have wanted to take a break to figure out where he stood and accordingly set him up. But now the rumors seem to predict a major comeback for Wyatt.

Braun Strowman is set to defend his championship in a 2-on-1 Handicap match against The Miz and John Morrison. Rumors are that Wyatt may appear after this match, that will set up the next feud.

It is unclear whether Strowman will win or lose the Handicap match. Either way, it will be a glorious return for Bray Wyatt.

The biggest question we have to face here is if we’ll be seeing “The Fiend” return or Bray Wyatt himself.

If the rumors are true, we could see him at Backlash. Whether it’s “The Fiend” or just Bray Wyatt, we will be seeing that evil smile again. a
