Bray Wyatt returned to SmackDown a few weeks back in his 'cult leader' persona. This was the gimmick Wyatt had when he was leading the Wyatt Family with Strowman as a member.

WWE have done a compelling job so far with the cinematic matches so it will be interesting to see what the Swamp Fight will bring for the fans. As per WrestlingInc, big things are in store for the match and WWE is leaving no stone unturned to make it a big deal.

Here is what Cagesideseats have stated:

According to Wrestling Inc, stunt coordinator Ellis Edwards is being brought in for the Swamp Fight between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. That match will apparently be taped next week.

There have been reports saying that WWE is contemplating getting the title off Braun Strowman. Former Universal Champion Bray Wyatt would be the perfect person to become the new Champion.
