#1 Breaking down the Braun Strowman-Fiend segments on SmackDown

What went down?
What went down?

There's a lot to break down from all of this on SmackDown, but we'll try to make it as short and crisp as possible. Vince McMahon was out to kick off the ThunderDome festivities, only to be interrupted by 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. Interestingly, McMahon disappeared and The Fiend was soon confronted by Braun Strowman.

One thing is clear as day - Braun Strowman is not a babyface anymore. He isn't a heel either, but he's certainly closer on the border to being a heel than he is as a traditional babyface. Either way, the two were interrupted by RETRIBUTION who surrounded the ring.

The Fiend disappeared, but Bray Wyatt appeared again later on in the Firefly Fun House. Braun Strowman became the third "outsider" to enter the Firefly Fun House (after Seth Rollins and John Cena) and it started a brawl that went backstage, resulting in Strowman shoving Wyatt down from a height.

After Wyatt was escorted into an ambulance, it stopped before it could leave and reversed back. The door opened and it was filled with smoke, with The Fiend emerging. SmackDown ended with The Fiend laughing hysterically. It was an odd ending, but it could be foreshadowing a title win for Bray Wyatt again.
