5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Royal Rumble main event possibly spoiled, stunning end to Fiend contract signing

#4 There will be blood

The only good part of the show was the contract signing which closed a less-than-average episode in a great way. It was the only impactful segment of the night and it should come as no surprise when two world-class performers like Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt are in the ring.

It was a contract signing with Daniel Bryan out in the ring with Michael Cole. Bray Wyatt appeared on the screen, with Bryan urging him to stop running and come to the ring to sign the contract.

Wyatt made an interesting point by saying that it's going to be The Fiend and not "Bray Wyatt" that Bryan is facing, it's better that the former comes out. And that's exactly what he did - with Michael Cole fleeing from the spot immediately.

Wyatt would attack Bryan and sign the contract... with his blood. He stabbed his hand with the pen and smudged the blood over the contract. It was a stunning end to the show and regardless of the stipulation, there will be blood at the Royal Rumble 2020.
