6 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Champion set for major heel turn, Unexpected star to lead battle against RETRIBUTION? (July 14th, 2020)

#5 The creepy final segment of SmackDown and what to interpret from it

Braun Strowmān

There is a lot to unpack from the final segment on SmackDown this week. While Braun Strowman - now bald, went to confront 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt, he was met by his good friend Alexa Bliss instead.

Alexa Bliss was on two segments with 'The Fiend' in the last two weeks of SmackDown and it seemed to traumatize her character. She was in a sit-down interview where she was asked about her personal relationship with Braun Strowman and it ended abruptly when she was asked about a possible romantic connection between them.

Throughout their SmackDown promo and segment, Braun Strowman refused to look at Alexa Bliss right in the eyes. Paranoid, he reaffirmed her that his comment last week saying "I don't give a damn about Alexa" was true, though she didn't seem to believe it was. The tensions boiled over, with Braun Strowman certain that 'The Fiend' changed her as he did to everyone who went through him.

He was on the receiving end of slaps and he even picked Bliss up to toss her away, but 'The Fiend' showed up and suddenly, Strowman was gone. SmackDown ended with Braun Strowman on the screen maniacally laughing while 'The Fiend' did the same.

It was quite an interesting ending, foreshadowing a seemingly-inevitable heel turn for Braun Strowman soon.
