Prior to his hiatus from WWE owing to ill health, Bray Wyatt last faced LA Knight. The two would be engaged in a heated feud for months, before finally battling it out Royal Rumble 2023. And, similarly, another iconic opponent of Bray Wyatt was Finn Balor, against whom the ‘The Fiend’ made his in-ring debut.

The revamped version of Wyatt, also known as The Fiend began his first rivalry on the main roster against Finn Balor. Thus, Triple H pitching The Fiend’s first rival against Bray Wyatt’s final rival is some kind of poetic justice.

No sooner was the match announced, that fans got emotional and took to social media to react to the announcement. This also shows the respect Wyatt held in the eyes of WWE management as they chose to pay a poetic tribute to him.
