I'm just poisoned by it all, I guess. What should have been a much-anticipated reboot to a decent blood feud has been cut off at the knees by timing and the overall crappiness of WWE these days.
I'll probably watch Smackdown Live tonight just to see if Balor shows up for what's going to be the most ridiculous town hall of all time (and I was there for the "no confidence" BS), but nothing's going to change in any appreciable amount and Balor's jobbing out in all likelihood until he gets out of there.

I hope we haven't seen the last of Mr. Rogers Wyatt and the puppets, even if his return to Raw as The Fiend didn't inspire much confidence since we've seen him fail at being a scary heel threat in the past.

My thought immediately was we will see the Funhouse back next week and he'll play like nothing happened and/or with subtle nods to what happened Monday.

This feud sucked so hard the first time that Wyatt getting sick actively benefited Balor, so hell yeah let's do it again

this still annoys me... we haven't gotten to week 2 so maybe the cycle will be different but right now... we're still on step 1 of the Bray Wyatt Feud cycle only now wearing a pretty dumb looking mask.
1. Attack random person 2. spout vague nonsense 3. have match 4. regardless of outcome return to 2 if feud is not over or 1 if feud is over.
you know what would be better than that... LITERALLY anything.
hell with teh same setup... have Bray appear and hug Finn... it messes with the formula and expectations and can prove that this is a different Bray than what we've been watching do the same thing for f***ing years...
Or hey... don't have him come out randomly attack someone... have him come out for a match against a jobber to the Funhouse music... all smiling and happy and the closer he gets to the ring the music and his demeanor gets darker... like a combination of Waylon Mercy and Original Doink.

Hoping for the best but it seemed like vintage Bray. He could have at least gotten a new finisher.

He should do two feuds at once one as a heel ( the fiend) one as a face ( mr. Rogers). Next week he can attack baron Corbin.

The True Fiend was all the recycled feuds we suffered through along the way.

I will grant that I do think you could salvage this into something interesting if next week you break out of the usual Bray cycle. And I don't just mean Bray cutting one of his rambling nature of man promos but smiling and wearing a sweater this time.
I dunno what that'd be exactly but they certainly need to take it in a different direction from here. And also the smiley kid's show host thing definitely needs to be part of it in some way - it's what actually got this act so over to begin with and if it isn't part of the final equation then why the hell did we spend three months building it up?

As someone suggested, maybe kids show host Bray confronts Finn and acts oblivious to the Fiend’s attack, and tries to hug it out with him?

Hell ,if you want to mess with the formula ,just have Wyatt appear in his sweater form backstage outya nowhere Finn is ready for a fight. And then you have Wyatt hug.him"Yowie wowie , I changed Finn! " Finn says politely he doesnt trust him ,walks off as Bray gives that evil stare,later the Demon form of Bray attacks Finn. At least you have a reason and a setup

I love this idea to be honest, and Corbin's such a dumbass it wouldn't be hard to buy him falling for Bray's old corny tricks. I actually thought the best time to bring Bray back (as a face) was during the angle where Corbin was Constable and abusing his powers.
