According to various reports, both the champions will successfully retain their respective titles as WWE allegedly has some huge plans in place for both Braun Strowman and Bayley at WWE SummerSlam. It is rumoured that Braun Strowman could face ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and Bayley could go up against her current partner Sasha Banks or Alexa Bliss at the big summer event. A few fans are also speculating that Mr Money in the Bank Otis could cash in on Braun Strowman at WWE Extreme Rules 2020 and go on to face ‘The Monster Among Men’ at SummerSlam.

WWE Extreme Rules 2020: Braun Strowman vs Bray Wyatt announced 

Braun Strowman made his way to the ring and accepted that he felt ‘true fear’ when he met Bray Wyatt for the first time at a swamp. He said when he met Bray Wyatt, he had a snake in his hand. The snake bit Wyatt’s face multiple times, but ‘The Eater of the Worlds’ laughed when that happened. Braun Strowman took a long pause before saying that he’s not scared anymore.

Braun Strowman suggested that they go back to the same swamp to fight it out. Strowman claimed that he will break Wyatt’s body before dragging him into the swamp to let the alligators finish him off. The Monster Among Men then left the ring and it was later confirmed that Braun Strowman will defend his WWE Universal Championship against ‘The Eater of the Worlds’ Bray Wyatt in a Wyatt Swamp match at WWE Extreme Rules 2020.
