Another WWE pay-per-view, another cinematic masterpiece. Two, in fact, are set to be on the card at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules. The Eye for an Eye match, of course, and the Wyatt Swamp Fight between WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman and the Eater of Worlds Bray Wyatt.
For a year, Firefly Fun House Bray Wyat and The Fiend have shared the spotlight. However, after Strowman overcame his former leader at Money in the Bank, Wyatt did some soul-searching and found a link to his old self.
The Eater Of Worlds has returned, and at Extreme Rules, he plans on destroying the monster he created. Braun Strowman stated recently that he enjoys the chaos, destruction, and mind games that come with the territory of dealing with the old Bray Wyatt. It seems that he may have something up his sleeve at Extreme Rules.
Still, what can we expect in the latest cinematic match? We'll take a look at the possibilities right now!
#5 Erick Rowan returns to assist Bray Wyatt at Extreme Rules
One of the many WWE Superstars and employees released back in May was the Big Redwood known as Erick Rowan. The former SmackDown Tag Team Champion was on the run of his career back in 2019, and even toppled Roman Reigns in a huge PPV win for himself.
However, after a strange few months involving a spider, Rowan's momentum was squashed. Still, he's always maintained a terrifying aura about him, and his allegiance to Bray Wyatt was never really in question. With WWE bringing back a few of the released Superstars in the past few months, Drake Maverick who was later re-hired, and more recently Heath Slater, bringing in Rowan would be a great moment for fans of Bray Wyatt.
If Braun Strowman truly must battle his past this Sunday, it only makes sense that he'll have to face more members of the Wyatt Family at Extreme Rules.
#4 Braun Strowman battles the swamp at Extreme Rules
It's a Wyatt Swamp Fight alright, and Braun Strowman will have to face more than his old stablemates to escape Extreme Rules alive. Bray Wyatt has spread many tales of his time in the bayou with Sister Abigail.
Wyatt has often spoken about the lessons taught to him by her, including the behavior of various wildlife in the swamp. In fact, even Braun Strowman has backed up these events.
On a recent episode of SmackDown, the Monster Among Men revealed that he saw Bray Wyatt goad a poisonous snake into attacking him.
"As I looked towards the water, a water moccasin started to slide out of the water, slithering directly towards Bray's lantern. As I noticed this, I jumped up and quick wanted to stomp it to death but Bray stopped me. He said, 'No, no, no, no that's my friend.' I was confused. As I watched Bray Wyatt walk towards this snake, he knelt down and got face to face with it. As the snake coiled up, it lashed out and it bit Bray right in the face, and all he did was laugh. He laughed as that snake repeatedly bit him over and over and over. At that moment, I knew Bray Wyatt was the Devil himself."
The snake was his friend. The swamp is his home. As strange as it sounds, don't be surprised if Braun Strowman has to fight his way through a snake or two, and maybe even an alligator at Extreme Rules. After all, who doesn't want to watch Braun Strowman gator wrestle?
#3 Braun Strowman contemplates joining Bray Wyatt at Extreme Rules
The Monster Among Men refused to align himself with Bray Wyatt back at Money in the Bank. At Extreme Rules, though, he'll definitely have a tougher time turning down the man that brought him to the main roster.
In that same video where Braun Strowman spoke of the water moccasin attacking Bray Wyatt, he said he enjoyed being a part of the Wyatt Family. The big man has always enjoyed destruction and mayhem. In fact, it's what made him such a huge star following his separation from the group.
To go back to that place, to bring up all those old memories, it may stir something in the Universal Champion. At Money in the Bank, he seemed to nearly fall for Wyatt's mind games. At Extreme Rules, it very well could happen.
The question is, will Strowman be strong enough to resist? He may be physically superior, but very few are able to combat the Eater of Worlds mentally.
#2 Braun Strowman emerges from Extreme Rules victorious
What we're in the middle of is the story of Bray Wyatt, a man who wanted nothing more than to bring an old ally into the fold. At Money in the Bank, it wasn't about destroying Braun Strowman. It was about welcoming back, not just a monster that he'd created, but a friend. But now he seeks to destroy his former ally at Extreme Rules.
In fact, Wyatt was heard at Money in the Bank crying tears of joy when Strowman wore the sheep mask. He was happy that he didn't have to subject the Monster Among Men to the torture that The Fiend often puts his opponents through.
Still, Braun Strowman denied Wyatt. The host of the Firefly Fun House couldn't save his friend.
Well...there was one other chance. There are many faces to Bray Wyatt. Firefly Funhouse Bray, The Eater Of Worlds, and The Fiend. Their lethality can also be judged in that order.
Basically, the return of Sister Abigail's Bray Wyatt at Extreme Rules is another way of him holding back The Fiend. It's another opportunity to show Braun Strowman the right path and give him the opportunity to join him at Extreme Rules. To follow the buzzards.
Still, it won't work. Braun Strowman will tear through all the things that Bray Wyatt holds dear on Sunday, leaving The Fiend as the only remaining part of himself that can take out the Universal Champion.
Odds are, at SummerSlam, Bray Wyatt's worst fears will come true. The Fiend will destroy Wyatt's old friend.
#1 Sister Abigail returns at Extreme Rules
Bray Wyatt has all but abandoned his former life as a swamp stewing cult leader. The only traces left of the old Bray Wyatt can only be seen in the puppet entities that exist in the Firefly Fun House. Each puppet represents a piece of Wyatt's psyche and former personas. At Extreme Rules, we may see one of those puppets come to the aid of the Eater of Worlds.
Though we haven't seen nor heard of Sister Abigail in over a year, Abby the Witch has been a constant presence in the Fun House. Wyatt has, on a few occasions, been seen cowering away from Abby. In fact, most of the puppets have as well. Well, everyone but Mercy the Buzzard.
At The Horror Show at Extreme Rules, Bray Wyatt will need all his old tricks to best the WWE Universal Champion. Will Sister Abigail possess him in order to thwart Braun Strowman?
Bayley gives us a HUGE update on a top Superstar's upcoming return RIGHT HERE.
