Bray Wyatt update
There are conflicting news sources on where the former Bray Wyatt is headed. Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live says that he doesn't believe Wyatt is headed to AEW and will likely sign with Impact Wrestling. Fightful however reports that sources close to Wyatt are saying he's not headed to Impact.
We say: We are more inclined to believe the Fightful report, which also doesn't say that he's joining AEW, only that he's not going to Impact. Since he didn't show up at the Rochester episode of Dynamite last week, we'll just have to wait and see where he lands.
Backstage reactions on FTR namedrop on SmackDown
Edge mentioned the real names of FTR members Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler on last Friday's episode of SmackDown, and it seems as though there are no negative reactions to him doing so. It apparently did not bother any people in management, and it was unlikely that he was going to get any heat for doing that. (Source: Ringside News)
We say: Whether it's true or not, we seriously doubt Edge was going to get reprimanded for mentioning his two close friends, especially if it makes sense for the angle.
