6 Ups & 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (25 Oct)
3. ...And This Is A Failure That Will Never Ever End
The Fiend probably won't even be in the top five most evil people in attendance next Thursday night when he challenges Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship in a match that apparently "can't be stopped for any reason", but his friendlier alter ego Bray Wyatt looked thrilled to be back in a rebuilt Firefly Fun House this week. Much like the shoddy second go at this set, his optimism is probably misplaced.
The message was about as clear as it could be thanks to the instant reincarnation of a dilapidated Rambling Rabbit - Seth can't burn or kill what's clearly already dead, but then he shouldn't have really been allowed to enter was was clearly existential so that's all too little too late.
Tip-toeing dangerously close to the completely f*cked Bray of old, this was another inelegant and inefficient use of a character that hasn't yet returned to the rails after spilling clean off them at Hell In A Cell. WWE might not be able to fix what they've broken here, even if The Fiend brings the red belt to the blue brand after his grand Halloween showdown.
