#2 Why Bray Wyatt is most likely to answer Aleister Black's challenge at Extreme Rules

It was teased that Aleister Black's opponent would be revealed on SmackDown Live this week, but instead, Black appeared in another one of his mysterious (and somewhat incoherent) promos to everyone's disappointment.

However, we do know for a fact now that Aleister Black's challenger will eventually be revealed at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Fans had various names in mind for Aleister Black's potential opponent, but the situation has now evolved into a silly and unconventional premise. The fact that someone would knock on Aleister Black's door only to run away when he would open it sounds like a prank, which is not something that a high-calibre superstar like Randy Orton (one of the rumoured names) would do.

On top of that, Black's promo during last night's episode had several subtleties that hinted towards Bray Wyatt being the one to challenge him at Extreme Rules.

One of those hints was that Aleister Black mentioned 'purgatory' in the middle of his segment, and for those unaware, there were several nods towards the same topic embedded in the form of Easter Eggs in Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House vignettes as well!
