4. Bray Wyatt's Gift

Let it be known that Bray Wyatt is officially The Joker. OK, not "officially", though he is acting a hell of a lot like the 'Clown Prince Of Crime' from DC's Batman universe lately. Leaving new Universal Champ Braun Strowman a little gift is exactly the kind of sh*t-stirring psychological mind games ol' Joker would play on 'Bats'.

That 'Black Sheep' mask was a neat allusion to Strowman's history with Bray too. Also, as much as the banter on 'A Moment Of Bliss' was cheesier than a fridge full of brie (the cheese, not Bella), it somehow worked. It was believable due to Braun's big brother with muscles approach to his friendship with Alexa.

This was more fine work all-round.

Provided WWE handle this one carefully and don't make Wyatt look like a chump all over again (him repeatedly coming up short after making grandiose promises on the mic isn't a character trait anyone wants to revisit), then this could be a cool early-summer diversion.
