We are back and with the Swamp Fight between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman at Extreme Rules, we are going to take a look back at their match from Money in the Bank.

WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt

It was all Braun early, sending Bray (sweater wearing Bray, not the Fiend version) to the floor, into the ring steps and into the ringpost.   He crushed Bray with an Avalanche in the corner.   He charged Bray on the floor but Bray sidestepped him and Braun crashed into the announcer's table.  The Piggy Puppet popped up in the crowd, cheering on Bray.  I wonder if he's going to start betting with MJF.

Wyatt attacked Braun and beat him on the floor, then tossed him into the ring for a two count.  He sent Braun into the ring steps on the floor.    Bray brought him back into the ring and prepared to attack but was nailed with a big right hand.  Bray nailed him with Sister Abigail but Braun kicked out at the very last second.  He went for Abigail again but Braun broke free and nailed a big chokeslam.

Strowman nailed an Avalanche in the corner and tossed the challenger to the floor.  Braun charged and smashed him into the barricade.  Braun tossed him into the ring but was kicked down to the floor.  He rose up wearing his black sheep mask from the Wyatt Family days.  Bray acted like he had found the old Braun again and told him that this time, everything will be perfect.  Braun dropped to his knees in front of Bray.  Bray embraced him.  All the puppets celebrated that Bray had brought Braun "home" again.

Braun slowly took off the mask and showed that he wasn't part of Bray's group by stomping the mask.  Bray tried to get him to listen to him but Braun powerslammed and pinned him.

Winner: Braun Strowman (Retains Championship)
