In addition to the main event of last night’s WWE Money in the Bank PPV being pre-recorded, it’s now come to light than another of the show’s biggest matches was likewise filmed ahead of time.

Via Paul Davis of Wrestling News, Bray Wyatt challenging WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman was recorded before the PPV went out 'live' on the WWE Network.

The reason for Wyatt vs. Strowman being taped was reportedly due to WWE having concerns over accidentally showing the puppeteers behind the Firefly Fun House characters on camera during the ringside action of the bout.

Elsewhere on the PPV, it’s also been revealed that there was at one point in time the suggestion of having a substantial part of the Money in the Bank ladder match take place in Vince McMahon’s office. As seen on the show, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles had a mild scuffle in Vince’s office, and the reason why this was only kept brief is that a) Vince didn’t want his office to be trashed, and b) Vince was concerned that somebody may damage the dinosaur skull that’s housed on his office wall.

For those wondering, said dino bonce was a present to Vince from his son-in-law Triple H.
