5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown (Aug 27)

1. The Wyatt Family Is Stronger Than Ever

This week's biggest stars on WWE TV are the Wyatt Family because they look to be as stronger than ever. The addition of Braun Strowman is great for them due his powerful look and he fits the role as a powerhouse that will make the "Family" stronger. Bray Wyatt did a good promo talking about how Sister Abigail found Strowman for him and he called him "the new face of destruction." All Strowman has to do is stand there, look mean and he's going to get a big reaction out of people because he looks legitimately scary. Much like on Raw, the Wyatt Family dominated the duo of Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. That's exactly how they should have been booked because if WWE had Strowman get knocked down or sell anything, it would have been a big mistake. What this story has done is made Bray look like a bigger and more dangerous star. That's what Bray has needed for months now. His run as a loner didn't really work that well. As an "evil maestro" as Brennan called him, Wyatt is much more important. People will fear the Wyatt Family now, which is the perfect response for the man that calls himself the "New Face of Fear." This could be the start of Bray Wyatt's true ascension to the top of the roster as a main event performer. That's why this angle is so important right now.
