#2 Worst: Nothing major for Braun Strowman on SmackDown?

Braun Strowman did not have a major involvement on SmackDown this week. He only appeared in the parking lot at the beginning of the show. It's a bit surprising that they opted not to use their top Superstar and champion significantly on the weekly show, but to their credit, they managed to pull it off without him.

Even so, it doesn't send a good message to fans because of how lightly Braun Strowman's Backlash 2020 match is being taken. He is set to face The Miz and John Morrison in a Handicap Match for the Universal Championship and it's safe to assume that if Bray Wyatt didn't beat him for the title, The Miz and Morrison won't either.

This week showed that WWE isn't taking the feud seriously at all, but perhaps in their minds, they don't need to. After all, the marquee headlining match is going to be Edge vs Randy Orton - dubbed as "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever".

While we thought that Wyatt would continue his feud with Strowman, that doesn't appear to be the case. We're not fond of how lightly WWE is taking Strowman's next Universal title defense.
