After the Bray Wyatt promo, Braun Strowman was out for a match against John Morrison. Poor John Morrison seemed like a babyface given the way he was handled by the Universal Champion on SmackDown.

He was completely squashed and decimated by an aggressive Strowman, whose mannerisms, facial expression, and promo seemed to suggest that he was adding an edge to his character ahead of the Swamp match at Extreme Rules 2020.

Post-match, he cut a promo telling Bray Wyatt that he's "coming home" and gave a maniacal expression. Since it's a non-title match, we expect Bray Wyatt to win, even though we doubt there will be an official pinfall.

However, this could lead to a major character change. It may not be an outright heel turn, but the roles seemed to be reversed today as Braun Strowman came across as a heel while John Morrison took a beating like a babyface.

The Miz stared on helplessly. It's going to be a fun match to watch and we expect it to be the main event of the PPV on Sunday.
