Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown ended in chaos, as Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt were set to sign a contract for their Strap Match at the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Instead, though, The Fiend made an appearance, assaulting Bryan once again before making a show of signing his own name to the contract.
For a recap of how the contract signing went down, check out below and follow along with our live coverage of tonight’s SmackDown:
Bryan joins Michael Cole in the ring. Bray Wyatt appears on the LED board. Wyatt is trying to face Bryan the contract. The fax machine breaks. Bryan demands that Wyatt come to the ring now. Bryan calls Wyatt a sick man. Wyatt says he isn’t sick and that wasn’t a nice thing to say. Bryan says he sees through Wyatt. All Wyatt does is run. Wyatt says this is all about Bryan betraying him. Bryan won’t be facing Wyatt, so it’s only fitting that “He” sign the contract. The lights go out and The Fiend appears in the ring. Bryan and The Fiend trade punches. The Fiend puts Bryan in the Mandible Claw. The Fiend hits Sister Abigail. The Fiend rips Bryan’s shirt and whips him with the leather strap. The Field stabs himself in the hand and smears his blood on the contract to sign it.
The ink is dry as @WWEBrayWyatt
