10 Modern WWE Moments You Totally Don't Remember

1. Braun Strowman Dances The Night Away With The New Day

The Fiend changes people.

Nobody is ever the same when they come into contact with him.

Seth Rollins was defeated by the Fiend at Crown Jewel was it? One of the horrendous propaganda shows. He was so mentally broken by the Fiend that he believed himself to be a martyr figure rejected by society (some wrestling fans giving him pelters for claiming that WWE was just great guys, stop complaining).

Daniel Bryan got a haircut and stopped caring as much about his creative direction.

Goldberg was "changed" into his old 1998 self, which wasn't ideal for the Fiend, since he was obliterated in three minutes at Super ShowDown was it? One of the horrendous propaganda shows.

Alexa Bliss seems to fancy him or something.

After being drowned by the Fiend and left to the alligators, Braun Strowman became a monster so uncaring that he almost plunged Alexa Bliss to her apparent doom.

Except that wasn't the first time the Fiend "came into contact" with Strowman, which most don't seem to remember, since this "changes people" thing remains a prevalent theory.

The Fiend attacked Strowman with the Mandible Claw on September 23, 2019. By December 27, a thoroughly unconcerned Strowman had a great time dancing with the New Day on SmackDown.

So there are two asterisks to this theory:

The Fiend changes people*

*so long as they're in a programme and not a one-off angle.

The Fiend changes people*

*except Goldberg (his Jackhammer looked much worse, if that counts?).
