Is the WWE bringing Bray Wyatt back as The Fiend at SummerSlam?

Wyatt, a superstar who enjoyed immense popularity within the WWE universe, saw his popularity decline because of WWE's questionable booking decisions. Wyatt's most recent in-ring action came against LA Knight at this year's Royal Rumble, the "Pitch Black" match, which drew criticism from fans, igniting the debate surrounding his future in the ring.

The third-generation WWE superstar last appeared before WrestleMania 39 as he feuded with Bobby Lashley. The 36-year-old's wrestling career has hit a temporary roadblock due to an undisclosed illness.

Since his hiatus, speculation has been rife about Wyatt potentially resurrecting The Fiend, his previous gimmick that had sent shockwaves throughout the WWE universe.

Recently, a hawk-eyed fans pointed out that Wyatt's profile image on the WWE website is showcasing The Fiend, hinting at rumors of a potential comeback. Unfortunately, this might be more a case of fans' wishful thinking than an actual hint that's been dropped by the WWE. The truth is, the image depicting The Fiend has been the same since Wyatt's return to the promotion last year.

But, that's not where the speculation ends. Recently, a video showcasing The Tribal Chief's return has caught fans' attention as it prominently includes Bray Wyatt. It's worth remembering that Reigns, during the Pandemic Era, won the Universal Championship over Wyatt at Payback 2020 with Paul Heyman at his beck and call.

Most recently, fans cleverly predicted John Cena's return at Money in the Bank to ignite talks of bringing WrestleMania to London when a video of Cena's comeback at Money in the Bank 2021 was uploaded.

This coincidence has led to further speculation that Wyatt's comeback might mirror Reigns if not see him feud against the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

At the heart of it all, the story of Wyatt serves as a stark reminder of the tumultuous and often unpredictable nature of professional wrestling. It's a world where fortunes can turn on a dime, where yesterday's outcast can be today's champion. The looming question is not just if Wyatt will return, but in what form, and with what impact? Fans can only hope that the WWE will utilize Wyatt's immense potential effectively. Should they fail, they risk alienating a legion of Wyatt's fans. But should they succeed, they could herald the resurrection of one of the most beloved and feared characters in recent WWE history.

This is the world of WWE, where the unexpected is the norm, and where, even in the throes of the most heated battles, you can always find someone forging their path towards redemption and resurgence.

For Bray Wyatt, perhaps The Fiend, that chance might just be at SummerSlam.

Coincidentally, Wyatt's former rival, Randy Orton, has been rumored for a comeback soon. It might not have happened at Money in the Bank, but it wouldn't be the worst idea to bring back both Wyatt and Orton at the Hottest Party of the Summer.
