WWE News: Seth Rollins and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt rivalry

This terrifying form of Bray Wyatt has been terrorising WWE for quite a while. He made his debut at SummerSlam where he destroyed Finn Bálor and later punished WWE legends Jerry “The King” Lawler, Kurt Angle, and Mick Foley. Rollins then became the victim of The Fiend at WWE Clash of Champions and since then the two have been facing each other. Their rivalry grew when the duo faced each other at Hell In a Cell and despite Rollins winning the PPV via referee stoppage, Wyatt rose and Punished the champ. A few weeks after the PPV, Seth Rollins faced Roman Reigns in SmackDown only for the Fiend to interrupt the match. In return, Rollins invaded the Firefly Fun House and burned it to the ground. The two will face each other at Crown Jewel which is scheduled to happen on October 31, 2019, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
