So what actually is the purpose of the Fiend?

[Deleted]

If Funhouse Bray is equally capable of being completely destroyed the entire match just to jump up and win with one move then what does dressing up as a clown and turning the red lights on actually accomplish?

[Welfare Willis]

Making everyone think they're inside a virtual boy.

Bad writing?

He’s the Cactus Jack to Foley’ Mankind I guess.

[ayumidah]

yeah I really expected him to take all the offense, snap at some point, and then turn more vicious and start acting like the Fiend (I assume they can't do the entire thing because it takes time to get the mask and stuff on just right) but just beating Mike as Bray was... a choice.

Now he needs a Dude Love type of character.

Depends on who he's facing.

Funhouse Wyatt is best against Miz given it's related to his family and a guy like that's more terrifying to him than Clown Wyatt.
Clown Wyatt's best against most other superstars given it's not personal and more focused on scare tactics.

* takes off The Fiend attire slowly to introduce the friendly not dead yet ghost of Tugboat as Miz turns into The Scream painting *

The only thing this dude sells is merchandise.

Gotta be Husky Harris. Ties things think.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I'm sure he had a purpose at one point, that's been long lost to Vince McMahon and the writing getting his hands on it

Imagine working on something away from WWE TV for months only for it to debut with some of the most positive intrigue and feedback of the last few years... and then WWE happens... it really sucks for Bray.

This is the correct answer.

[A Platypus Rave]

It's more pointing out that the Fiend is really just part of a multiple personality thing and not necessarily a supernatural source.

I would have thought Funhouse Bray would be the Dude Love.

[Bub (BLM)]

I feel like Husky Rotunda just comes up with edgelord shit based on metal album covers and adult swim, but never bothers to ask "why?". Just like all his promos ever.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Wyatt...You don't have to put on the red light

[Perfect Timing]

Just debut muscle man dance Bray he could be the new Simon Dean.

[Pooh Carlson]

Realish answer... The Fiend is getting revenge on those that have wronged Bray in the past. But yeah, doesn't make sense that Bray beat Miz.

[Facetious]

The Fiend is Bray's Slipknot Gary stu

[Deleted]

What I don't get is that The Fiend destroyed Finn Balor yet every match since he gets his ass kicked.

Funny you should mention that. When they announced this match, I assumed they would just have the guy transform midmatch. It would actually be really easy because the Fiend outfit is very simple. In the stills from the match, I saw Bray was wearing the tank top under his sweater. You just need some tear-away pants and a velcro strap mask under the ring for him to slip it on a brief couple of seconds black out which they do all the time with him anyway don't they?
