Bray Wyatt was always pegged for a bright future in the WWE. However, his initial run left a lot to be desired, despite a run with the WWE Championship back in 2017. His character appeared to be stale. Fans claimed that his skills on the microphone were exceptional yet the promos he cut were all meaningless because he never picked a win. All this changed the moment he introduced the Fiend to the WWE Universe. He became one of the major attractions in the company, so much so that when he was released, fans clamored for him to return. They got what they asked for, at Extreme Rules, last year. However, Wyatt has yet to unleash the Fiend, although, that could change this week ahead of Royal Rumble 2023.

This is the final week of WWE television before we embark on the Royal Rumble. Bray Wyatt is set to face LA Knight at the Premium Live Event in a Lights Out match. This will be his first fight since making his return to the WWE, and fans are still unsure what incarnation of Bray Wyatt will turn up at the event.
The Fiend could appear on WWE TV ahead of Royal Rumble 2023
According to a report from The Wrestling Blog, there are talks about having a staredown between The Fiend and LA Knight this week. However, there is a concern that the fans may interpret this as Bray Wyatt permanently going back to the Fiend Character.
According to my source there’s one inductee to this year Hall Of Fame that people might not agree on it. He stated this person had a incredible career inside and outside of the ring, but he stated management feels people won’t agree with it, but will still get inducted

Their interaction may not take place at SmackDown despite being SmackDown competitors, however, and the reason for this may be the return of a certain legendary wrestler who Wyatt was thought to take over from during his first run.
