Why It Sucked: The 'Wyatt Swamp Fight' nearly killed any excitement for more cinematic matches last summer.

WWE weirdly sandwiched an unwanted challenge for The Miz and John Morrison in at Backlash before returning to Braun Strowman's feud with Bray Wyatt. Oddly, their fairly tame effort at MITB before that was almost superior to this bells-and-whistles approach at 'The Horror Show At Extreme Rules'.

The production made the 'Swamp Fight' feel like a '90s episode of Goosebumps, and Braun's over-the-top facial expressions turned it into WWE's very own live action Scooby Doo - all one needed was Strowman to start saying things like, "Zoinks!" and "Jeepers!" for maximum banter.

Nothing about the brawl was satisfying. It was a misstep in a year seemingly obsessed with cinematics, and it shouldn't have headlined the pay-per-view. The fact WWE hyped this up as the second coming of 'Boneyard' pretty much says it all.
