Towards the end of this latest edition of SmackDown, the WWE Universe saw a familiar face from a rival company. The main event of WWE SmackDown ended in a very chaotic and scary manner.

Bray Wyatt hosted the Firefly Fun House and talked about Braun Strowman’s romance with Alexa Bliss. He would later say it is better to be built in rage and fueled by anger as love only leads to pain and suffering.

As Wyatt was speaking, The Monster Among Men attacked and knocked out Wyatt. The Brawl would continue backstage as Strowman’s assault would send Wyatt in an ambulance.

Even though Bray Wyatt was the one to go into the Ambulance, the person to come out of it would be The Fiend. Surprisingly, during this segment, the camera went on the WWE officials and one official was very familiar to the WWE Universe.

 

Yes, you are right, it is former Impact Wrestling star Sonjay Dutt. Dutt was a star in Impact wrestling for nine years across three stints.

He was an entertaining high flying wrestler and one of the first Indian origin wrestlers to make a name in the wrestling world. In fact, he has been an X division Champion in TNA.

Dutt joined the WWE on January 23rd, 2019. He works as a backstage producer and also helps in the scouting of young talent for the company.
