Sucks that Finn is gonna eat another loss here most likely, but all the babyfaces need to go over tonight

Man, Bray's return last year was so awesome. It's a shame that story kinda spun its wheels for 4 months. I was interested in where the Uncle Howdy stuff was gonna go, as it seemed Alexa Bliss was gonna get brought back in with Wyatt. The pop when he pulled the mask off was so great. I think part of the problem when he returned, wasn't he dealing with some kind of injury that limited what he could do wrestling wise? It's sad, him returning had so much upside, but so many wrenches got tossed into the works, that never let it really gain momentum.

I completely forgot Kevin is even there
Corey and Cole have been basically just talking to one another and even talking over him at times
I love it

Just curious, and sorry if this may be a little messed up to ask, but I wasn't a fan and was only a child when they died, but is this tribute episode for Funk/Wyatt different as to how they did it for Guerrero or Benoit? I don't remember much storyline aspects to the Guerrero tribute. They had matches and gave some tributes. The other was under completely different circumstances. Show was cancelled, Vince and commentary in an empty arena with highlight matches and video memorials from talents aired. WWE was holding some cards back that would soon become public, and 24 hours later he was erased from history.

Randy Orton literally attempted to murder the Undertaker on that show with Eddie’s car

Still love that first promo Bray had back. Just getting to see how much the love the crowd meant to him. Makes me smile to know, that he knew, how much he was loved by the fans.

I know it’s just a “Tribute Show” but beating Balor clean like that was pretty wack

No way Finn was going to win that match tonight given the circumstances.

Glad they ended the show paying respects to bray. In a way, I wish we could have had uncle howdy pick up the lantern and blow it out one last time, but what they did was great too.

That was a great way to end things. Seeing the 'fireflies' quickly light up just made me happy.

I'm so grateful that I got to see Bray perform twice in 2016 with The Wyatt Family, and once in 2019 as The Fiend.
AEW just aired a memorial graphic as Rampage started for Bray. Classy act.

Apparently Jericho paid tribute to Bray at the Fozzy show tonight, and the crowd sang 'He's got the whole world in his hands.'

Wish I got to see him after this last return but like you,I'm just glad I got to see him as many times live as I did. Only got to see him and Brodie together once but that's definitely gonna be a moment I won't forget. Incredible stuff tonight,so glad we got him back and he got that great moment with the fans on his return Smackdown. You could tell what the fans appreciation meant to him
