The Fiend was officially drafted over to SmackDown following his interference in the opening match-up. He became SmackDown's second pick and the fourth overall pick - quite an impressive spot and a huge boost from three years ago.

He's now back on the brand where he thrived the most and FOX Executives have to be thrilled about the fact that they get one of the biggest stars in the company is a huge boost for them and their ratings.

While some may have anticipated it, it's still a bit surprising that Wyatt got a huge boost in his spot from a few years ago. One has to wonder why WWE decided to shift him to SmackDown and what awaits him on the blue brand.

Hopefully, it's a lot more success and not being in a dead-end storyline like he was with Seth Rollins. The assumption is that Rollins will be staying put on RAW because Roman Reigns is on SmackDown and RAW needs a top babyface. That match effectively concluded the Fiend-Rollins feud.
