The Universal Championship was on the line at Money in the Bank, where Braun Strowman defended the belt against Bray Wyatt. Filled with drama and twists, the match certainly lived up to the hype. Interestingly, Strowman turned the tables playing mind games during the bout, which helped him to be victorious.
As it is the very first encounter of their feud, it is likely to stretch after Money in the Bank. Whether Bray Wyatt himself or his alter ego, The Fiend steps up to challenge Strowman, it remains to be seen. This article analyses five reasons why Braun Strowman should face Bray Wyatt again after MITB and five reasons why it should be The Fiend.
10 Bray Wyatt: Incredible Storyline
Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman have a history, as the latter made his main roster debut with The Wyatt Family. The past certainly haunted Strowman in this feud, and it was visible during the build-up of the Money in the Bank match.
Strowman was continuously referred to as the black sheep of The Wyatt Family. As a matter of fact, Bray Wyatt claimed that Strowman betrayed his former stable. With such an intense storyline, the rivalry has garnered attention, and it must continue.
9 The Fiend: Monster Vs Monster
The Fiend has become the most terrifying man in WWE, since making his debut last year. Bray Wyatt's alter ego has had many preys, including some past legends. Strowman, on the other hand, is called the Monster Among Men.
With that in mind, a battle between two monsters would be a dream match for the fans. Strowman might have an upper hand with his strength, but The Fiend is the indomitable one.
8 Bray Wyatt: Braun Strowman Could Have A Longer Run
Despite being booked as an intimidating monster in his main roster career, it took Strowman a few years to win his first world title. Even his first world title opportunity came abruptly because Roman Reigns backed out from WrestleMania 36.

As the holder of the Universal Championship, Strowman has been impressive thus far, and he certainly deserves a good run. If he faces Bray Wyatt instead of The Fiend, he might retain the belt again.
7 The Fiend: Exciting For The Fans
Without a shadow of a doubt, The Fiend is one of the greatest creations of WWE in recent years. Whether the frightening look or the unpredictability of the character, Bray Wyatt's alter ego is on a different level.
With the return of The Fiend in the squared circle, for the first time after WrestleMania, the fans might find the Universal Championship storyline more stirring.
6 Bray Wyatt: More Exposure Of Bray Wyatt's Character
From the day of his debut on the main roster, Bray Wyatt has been a twisted and dark character. While his previous gimmick is astounding, his current one has set a different standard in WWE.
Although the fans have seen The Fiend for a majority of the time in the ring, the same can't be said about the Bray Wyatt character, who has wrestled only twice since last year. If the feud continues with Bray Wyatt, the fans should be able to see more of him.
5 The Fiend: The Fiend Needs To Win Back The Universal Title
The Fiend looked unstoppable after winning the Universal Championship. However, his awe-inspiring title reign came to an end against Goldberg, who slew the monster and became the Universal Champion at Super ShowDown.
As he is in the Universal Championship picture again, he should be aiming to win it back. After an emphatic victory over John Cena at the Grandest Stage of Them All, The Fiend shouldn't find hard to become a two-time Universal Champion.
4 Bray Wyatt: More In-Ring Promos
Whenever The Fiend fights an opponent, Bray Wyatt delivers promos from Firefly Fun House for the majority of the time. However, the scenario changes with Bray Wyatt, who makes appearances outside the Firefly Fun House.

For instance, Bray Wyatt showed up outside his house while having a feud with The Miz last year, and the same thing occurred against Braun Strowman. Continuing to fight as Bray Wyatt would allow him to offer some more in-ring promos.
3 The Fiend: Bray Wyatt Character Already Had A Title Shot
Bray Wyatt already received a title shot at Money in the Bank, where Strowman retained the belt fair and square. With that in mind, he doesn't deserve to have an opportunity at Backlash.
Bray Wyatt should bring back his alter ego if he faces Strowman again. As a Bray Wyatt portrays The Fiend as a completely different personality, he should be the rightful opponent for the Monster Among Men.
2 Bray Wyatt: To Strech The Feud Till SummerSlam
SummerSlam, the biggest show of the summer, is just three months away. A number of blockbuster matches take place at SummerSlam.
The Fiend can't afford to suffer a defeat. If Bray Wyatt faces Strowman a couple of times, the fans can witness the ultimate big match between The Fiend and Strowman at SummerSlam.
1 The Fiend: To Get Back The Momentum
Goldberg might be one of the dominant men in professional wrestling, but a myriad of fans expected him to lose to The Fiend at Super ShowDown, considering how the latter had terrorized WWE. The Fiend's momentum was derailed after the loss in Saudi Arabia.
Although The Fiend beat John Cena at WrestleMania 36, it was more of a cinematic bout. The Fiend not only needs to get back in the ring but also requires getting back momentum with a victory over Strowman.
