8 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Aug 28)

Downs...

3. To The Fun House!

It didn't start off well.

Last week, Braun Strowman invaded Bray Wyatt's 'Firefly Fun House' and revealed that the set is housed backstage inside the Amway Center. That was a big letdown after a full year of pretending the place was some mystical safe house for Wyatt and his gang of puppets.

When Vinnie Mac instructed Adam Pearce to stroll down the hallway into the 'Fun House' and get Wyatt's signature, it felt like another misstep. WWE should not be treating Bray's wacky world as just another room in the corridor. That's ridiculous - why would they let some creepy crown prince of mayhem hang out so close to the boss?

The fact Adam bloody Pearce just waltzed into Wyatt territory is also rubbish. Remember this sort of thing when WWE kid on Wyatt's sanctuary is a safe zone for him and keeps his rivals at bay. They absolutely will do that again.
