3. That WCW Easter Egg

Chucky vs. Bron Breakker for WrestleMania 38?

Only kidding, don't worry. The sarcastic little doll narrated intros for most of Havoc's important matches, and also handled the whole 'Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal' dramas. Towards the end of the show, Chuck also talked some smack about Rick Steiner. That was a neat little nod towards WCW.

Chucky and Steiner worked an infamous angle on Nitro back in 1998. WWE paid tribute to that here by having the doll suggest that Bron might be a "loser like the rest of [his] family". Perhaps the only downside to this banterous jibe is that it makes the Breakker surname all the more confusing.

If WWE are happy to acknowledge that Rick is Bron's father, then why not just called him Steiner? That annoying gripe aside, this was a fun Easter egg that didn't eat up too much time on the show. Old school fans would've got a kick out of it.
