WWE has plans to feature Bray Wyatt tonight on Friday Night SmackDown and at the taping happening immediately after that will air next week.
Fightful Select reports that there are plans to include several pieces of Wyatt’s past. That was in the plans as of Thursday. One thing that was said was that they wanted to bring in the rocking chair that Wyatt used during his early years in the company. Also, there has been talk of The Fiend mask being ripped up by Bray or another talent.
Fightful added that a WWE source claimed that rumors about Wyatt vs. Reigns imminently starting a feud are false because “Where would we go from there?” It was also reported that another person in the company said they learned from the Fiend run. Seth Rollins has said publicly that the previous Fiend run was difficult on the people he worked with because The Fiend had to be booked to be indestructible, thus burying others in some cases. Others have said similar things privately.
As for the Wyatt vs. Reigns rumor, there was something said in the Wrestling Observer about those two names feuding but it wasn’t said when that feud could happen. Dave Meltzer wrote, “While it would be best to keep them apart for a while, the idea is Reigns vs. Wyatt could be the biggest program in a long time since Wyatt is so hot right now.”
