There is no one like Bray Wyatt, who keeps his audience guessing everything about him all the time. Therefore, fans have aptly given the former WWE Champion, the title of visionary when it comes to his characters and gimmicks. Not only did he make The Wyatt Family interesting, but he also made The Fiend a merchandising giant for WWE. But everyone is confused about what he wants to do this time.
First WWE aired weird rabbit clips for his arrival. Then, he made his big return at the end of Extreme Rules. But since coming back, he only has put down LA Knight.
But that match also ended at a confusing point when Uncle Howdy jumped from high above at Knight and Wyatt just stood on the side. After that, he challenged Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley. However, he didn’t give us anything on that, this Friday. He just aired a clip that confused the fans even more than anything.

Fans are mixed about the confusing Bray Wyatt segment on WWE SmackDown
On SmackDown, a clip aired harkening back to Wyatt’s earlier creation, the Firefly Funhouse. But the show didn’t go as fans remember it. A red light, reminiscent of Wyatt’s Fiend matches, blasted through the room before we saw a kid playing with two of The Undertaker figurines. This was a direct callback to The Undertaker vs The Undertaker match. Also, a callback to the fact that Taker said something to Wyatt at Raw XXX.
Then we saw Wyatt, normally dressed, looking at his call out on SmackDown before the Elimination Chamber. After that, he played Bobby Lashley‘s segment from last week’s Raw. Then there was Wyatt, in his Funhouse attire, with Ramblin Rabbit. But Wyatt also said unrelated things before showing us the weather report. Here, Uncle Howdy was reading the news in a weird voice.
Soon after, a series of Can You Keep A Secret audios played with different music and voices. The video then proceeded to reveal the door to the Funhouse and showed a bunch of different images with no cohesion. In the end, Wyatt is in a different mask and he asks the audience, “If I told you a story, can you keep a secret?” which brought us to the end of the segment.
That backstage part really confused some fans.
so Bray is acting like Triple H?

Hard to follow is the most accurate way to describe this.
We’re being left with more questions than answers every segment. It’s more and more confusing and hard to keep up with. Feel like Bray made it a little too detailed this time. I love him but it’s hard to follow

Just another video segment of one of the most overrated wrestlers in recent memory. Such a snooze fest. 😴

Can we get the idea if only we dig a little deeper?
After watching my entire segment it makes much more sense. The major truths sprinkled is subtly. I do understand many people have no idea anything that's going on bust this is actually very direct at times. Nice

This fan and many others found this clip a bummer!
I love Bray. I loved the FFFH. I love The Fiend. But but since his return, it feels like every segment is a fever dream with no correlation to the other and it’s honestly a bummer.

Nothing, we watched absolutely nothing. What a waste these last 2 weeks. Although game show Bray looked hilarious

Still, having some hope is better than none.

Can Wyatt get everyone on his side with this creation? Or will it dwindle down and make Wyatt another afterthought in the wrestling industry? Only time can tell.
