#1. Bray Wyatt's WWE return segment had an alleged production botch

As great as it was from a visual standpoint, Bray Wyatt's return wasn't a flawless operation, as WWE apparently encountered an untimely production botch.

Before Bray Wyatt unmasked himself to a massive pop, the company added several layers to the story and had the characters from the Firefly Funhouse appear in the crowd to increase the anticipation.

Wyatt eventually came out holding a lantern as the entire arena erupted in unison, and everything seemed to have gone according to plan until the very last moment. However, the light in Wyatt's lantern hilariously went off seconds before he blew it out, and many fans quickly highlighted the noticeable botch.

The incident thankfully did not dampen the impact of Bray Wyatt's return, as he is the top trend in professional wrestling, with almost every fan appreciating how he was brought back in the aftermath of Extreme Rules.

The former world champion, however, might have more surprises up his sleeve...

#3. Did WWE book Liv Morgan to lose due to an impending character change?

Ronda Rousey defeated Liv Morgan to win back the SmackDown Women's title at Extreme Rules, much to the displeasure of a majority of fans.

Rousey choked out her opponent to regain the championship, but Morgan grabbed all the headlines after she bizarrely laughed while trapped in the match-ending submission move. The former champion wasn't her usual self even after the defeat, as the commentators noted the apparent change in demeanor.

However, Morgan's backstage interview after the match might be the biggest teaser regarding her adopting a darker character.

As you can see in the video below, a dejected Morgan did not answer any questions about her loss and showcased a few unfamiliar traits during the interview segment.

Liv Morgan's feud with Rousey was meant to make her a credible superstar, but the Extreme Rules defeat could lead to her transition to a more sinister gimmick. Her social media activity after Extreme Rules hints at something massive being in the works, and there is also speculation about Bray Wyatt's involvement.
