9 Ups & 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Apr 30)

6. The Bray Replays

These Bray Wyatt Firefly Fun House segments are awesome, and may yet save the former 'Eat Of Worlds' from the inescapable hole it looked like his career had become, but there's absolutely no need to repeat them on SmackDown.

Wyatt is a Raw Superstar. He might change brands, but the YouTube uploads are branded with Team Red's logo. This makes a post-Shake-Up move unlikely, so why do we need reruns of the Fun House skits 24 hours after they've originally aired, complete with pointless shots of a lifeless crowd "reacting" to them?

The answer, dear readers, is filler. Pure, unadulterated filler, the kind that WWE specialise in, and will cram shows with until the end of time.
