9. Rey Mysterio's Secret Homage To Bray Wyatt
As already mentioned, performers all across the industry remembered the beloved Bray Wyatt in their own way in the wake of his tragic passing.
And on the August 25 edition of SmackDown, a show dedicated to both the former WWE Champion and the late Terry Funk, a certain masked legend opted to secretly pay homage to one of his former in-ring adversaries during a match against Grayson Waller.
A few fans online did actually manage to catch the marvellous Wyatt connection felt during one specific sequence in the bout, with Rey Mysterio nailing his young rival with Bray's trademark clothesline/senton combo.
