This week’s Friday Night SmackDown saw a lot of drastic events. Starting with the heel turn of Bayley to the shocking win of Jay Uso in the main event, things were fun to watch. Speaking of fun, Bray Wyatt and his Firefly Fun House made an appearance. Wyatt had some interesting news for all of us.
Bray Wyatt announces new guest for next week
“The Fiend” lost his Universal Title to Roman Reigns at Payback. However, Wyatt or Fiend did not make an appearance during the number 1 contender match for the title. He made his appearance before the match to deliver some “fun” news.

During the Firefly Funhouse segment, Wyatt revealed “The Fiend” is still sad as he “lost his favorite toy, again.” He is obviously referring to the loss of the Universal Championship last week. However, Wyatt assured the fans that he will welcome a new friend in the Funhouse next week.
Who Is Bray Wyatt’s New Guest?
The announcement sent the fans on a speculation spree. There are some theories going around Twitter and in WWE.
The first name to come to mind is definitely Alexa Bliss. After her encounter with “The Fiend,” Alexa is changing. Her hair, her attire, and even her demeanor are not the same anymore.
Right after the Funhouse promo, WWE dropped a massive hint. We saw Alexa Bliss apologizing to Nikki Cross for last week’s behavior. She snapped on Nikki last week and insulted her. This week, Cross accepted Bliss’ apology but Cross was visibly uneasy.

Apart from this, when Alexa left, we saw the shadow of a puppet above a piece of stage equipment. This puppet eerily resembles the Rambling Rabbit of the Funhouse. The puppet is known to spill secrets of the Funhouse but is stopped by Wyatt.

If Alexa appears on the Funhouse next week, it will definitely complete her character arch of Sister Abigail. If she does not, then it will be a lazy move on WWE’s part. After weeks of buildup and no outcome, fans will certainly lose interest.

Another theory says Braun Strowman will appear in the match to embrace his dark side. He could join forces with the Fiend to take down Roman Reigns.
It could also be a new puppet or a Funhouse version of a WWE employee (like Postman Pearce last week). Whatever happens, we need to keep an eye out for “The Fiend.”
