5 Superstars WWE can call upon to finally conquer the Fiend

Can the Fiend be stopped?
Can the Fiend be stopped?

Bray Wyatt has been unstoppable in the WWE ever since he harnessed his Fiend persona and the recently concluded Survivor Series event only served up more evidence of that.

His opponent, the 'new Daniel Bryan' even tried reverting to his roots and tapping into the energy of the Yes! Movement, but to no avail.

The Fiend was undeniable, as he has been since his unholy presence first started haunting the WWE.

The most riveting thing about watching the Fiend in action is that he has not, until now, displayed one discernible weakness. No finisher seems to keep his shoulders down for the three count and his ever-growing collection of scalps only seems to add to his impious repertoire.

He took the ominous red lighting from Kane. The mandible claw from Mick Foley. The WWE Universal Title from Seth Rollins. And at Survivor Series, he took Daniel Bryan's consciousness.

But where does it all culminate? When does the Fiend's reign of terror come to an end? Everyone who has stepped up to him, until now, has looked powerless to stop him.

Who does the WWE have to summon to finally bring the Fiend's unholy march to a halt?

This article speculates.

#5 CM Punk

CM Punk is strictly working with FOX and not the WWE...for now, that is, although almost every wrestling fan expects him to strap up his boots again at some point in time and make a return to the ring.

Some even speculate that WrestleMania 36 may play host to the grand comeback.

And if the Fiend continues leaving unconscious Superstars in his wake until then, having a megastar like CM Punk take him on at the event would present an intriguing clash of styles.

For one, CM Punk's ability with the microphone is unparalleled (as we're reminded every time he picks one up) and there hasn't been one opponent of his that he hasn't been able to get the better of verbally.

But will his verbal warfare have any effect on the hellish presence that is the Fiend? And will the Fiend be able to obliterate CM Punk's mental defences like it has done Seth Rollins' and Daniel Bryan's?

And for the fight itself, it's usually CM Punk who puts his opponents to sleep with his finisher. Could he have finally met his match?
