In the UK, Bray Wyatt's return segment did not go for WWE as planned.

In April 2019, Bray made his long-awaited return to WWE screens as the host of The Firefly Fun House after being out of action since August. But while fans in America and the world watched him re-debut as a Mr. Rogers-like TV show host with creepy undertones, Sky Sports completely missed the promo in the United Kingdom.

When the first segment of the bizarre Fun House aired in America, fans in the UK were treated to four whole minutes of the Raw logo on display on their screens instead. It didn’t air as producers for Sky Sports remarkably thought it was an advert and didn’t cut back to the live feed – which goes to show how well done The Firefly Funhouse segments were.

As everyone was talking about it the next day, Sky Sports tweeted - ‘It's divided opinion in the Sky Sports WWE office this morning, but what did you make of Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House?’. Fans in the comments were quick to point out they didn’t have an opinion cause Sky Sports botched it completely. The network then followed their first tweet up with a second, issuing an apology for forcing fans to miss the debut that had been teased over the past few weeks, blaming it on ‘technical difficulties’ and then went on to promise that the segment would be part of later reruns of Raw for fans.

You have to wonder: what did the Sky Sports producers think The Firefly Fun House advert was promoting?
