#5: Braun Strowman relived his dark past after receiving a "gift" from Bray Wyatt
Now that Erick Rowan and Luke Harper are no longer a part of the WWE brand, The Wyatt Family's past came back to haunt the two remaining members of the cult - Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman.
The Monster Among Men appeared on "A Moment of Bliss" and Team "Little Big" (Alexa Bliss, Braun Strowman) reunited for a while. As the conversation went on, Strowman noticed a gift lying near the corner of the ring.
Having assumed that the gift was a sweet surprise from Bliss, Strowman unpacked it only to realize that it was Bray Wyatt who sent him a reminder from a haunted past.
The Black Sheep mask reminded Strowman of his allegiance with Wyatt, and the prop itself is nothing but a small part of a complex history between the two men.
This great segment went on to show how Bray Wyatt's battles are more concerned with the psychological realm on a platform where physical battles matter the most.
