Major Stipulation Added To Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt SummerSlam Match

The Braun Strowman-Bray Wyatt Universal Championship clash at SummerSlam just got a lot more interesting.

Their bout has been changed to a Falls Count Anywhere match, as announced on Talking Smack.

The stipulation was changed following Strowman's vicious attack on Wyatt during yesterday's episode of SmackDown Live.

Strowman attacked Wyatt in his Firefly Fun House, leading to a brief brawl backstage. The Monster Among Men then chokeslammed Wyatt off the top of a platform, and the latter quickly required medical attention.

But before the ambulance could take Wyatt away, it started backing up slowly. The rear door of the vehicle opened up, and The Fiend suddenly appeared as WWE personnel and officials looked on in disbelief.

There are some hints that WWE is starting to slowly turn Strowman heel, while Wyatt is being turned into a face. The latter has received plenty of favourable treatment from the fans since debuting his new alter ego, so it would be an easy transition to face if WWE wanted to go that route.

Strowman defeated Wyatt (wrestling as his regular self) in their first showdown at Money in the Bank. But the latter evened the score by defeating Strowman in a "Wyatt Swamp Fight" at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.

The Fiend has only lost cleanly once - to Goldberg in their Universal Championship match at Super ShowDown 2020. For what it's worth, Bet Online lists Wyatt as a -170 favorite over Strowman, who's a +130 underdog.

This Should Be A Grade-A Match

The buildup between the two former Wyatt Family members and friends has been nothing short of brilliant. WWE creative is smartly turning Strowman into more of a villainous character, and Wyatt's character remains compelling and exciting. The Falls Count Anywhere stipulation only adds more intrigue to what should be a thrilling Universal title match.
