Braun Strowman returned for the final segment of SmackDown this week with a newly shaven head, and the Monster Among Men has turned his evil dial up to 11.
The Universal Champion called out "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt ahead of their match at SummerSlam, telling him he was going to "feast on his entrails." Instead, Alexa Bliss - who was part of a sit-down interview earlier in the night - made her way out to the ring to confront her one-time friend.
Bliss demanded to know why he said he didn't give a damn about her, before slapping him repeatedly in the face. Braun then grabbed her and hoisted her over his head while demanding that Wyatt come to the ring. When Strowman finally let Alexa fly (the lights dimmed so we didn't actually see her hit the mat), The Fiend's creepy music signaled his arrival.
The Monster then appeared on the screen as his laughter rang out around the PC.
Is this a double turn? It certainly seems that way. Strowman is clearly heel now however you want to look at it, and Wyatt did come to Bliss' aid, which suggests he's now a babyface.
Whatever the case may be, this Universal Championship match at SummerSlam on August 23 is sure to be worth a watch.
