On this week’s WWE SmackDown, Universal Champion Braun Strowman invaded Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House and attacked the former WWE Champion.
On this week’s WWE SmackDown, Universal Champion Braun Strowman did what many superstars, including John Cena, Daniel Bryan and others were unsuccessful in doing. Strowman successfully invaded Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House and attacked the former WWE Champion to hype up his upcoming match against ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. The two are scheduled to face each other in a Universal Championship match at WWE SummerSlam 2020 which will take place on August 23 (August 24 for Indian viewers). According to fans, The Fiend will win the match, but the feud between the two superstars will continue for a couple more months. Some speculate that Braun Strowman could challenge The Fiend for a rematch at WWE Payback, which is scheduled to take place a week after WWE SummerSlam 2020.

WWE CEO Vince McMahon opened this week’s show and welcomed fans to WWE ThunderDome. As he started talking about the future of WWE shows and WWE SummerSlam 2020, the lights started to flicker and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt appeared in the ring. Braun Strowman came to the aid of Vince McMahon, but before the brawl between the two rivals could begin, Retribution arrived. The Fiend disappeared, leaving the WWE Universal Champion to get beat down. The WWE SmackDown roster then made their way to the ring and saved The Monster Among Men. After Retribution backed off, Strowman attacked Drew Gulak and Jey Uso out of frustration.
