This week’s WWE SmackDown saw a recap of The Wyatt Swamp Fight which resulted in the ‘drowning’ of WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman. This was followed by The Fiend’s attack on Alexa Bliss last week on SmackDown.

Following this, Wyatt was back in the Firefly Fun House where he addressed the WWE Universe from. He claimed that what The Fiend did to Bliss last week was purely Strowman’s fault as The Monster Among Men wasn’t there to stop the maniac on SmackDown.

Wyatt then teased an appearance from The Fiend later in the show. That is exactly what we got as somewhere halfway through the show The Fiend arrived as Bliss sat in the middle of the ring.

The evil WWE Superstar almost applied The Mandible Claw to the former RAW Women’s Champion, but she managed to stop him with just one touch. This was followed by Strowman’s appearance on the big screen as The Monster Among Men revealed a new side to him.

Strowman claimed that he did not care about Bliss and claimed that the only thing he cared for was destroying Wyatt. The Monster claimed that he was pushed to his breaking point and it was impossible to contain his evil now.

This was a great promo from Strowman that now hints towards his heel turn, something that Wyatt had been trying to get out of him for some time. It will be interesting to see how WWE books this angle on SmackDown heading up to SummerSlam.
