SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, August 7th, 2020: Riddle/Sheamus & Bray Heads back to the Firefly Funhouse

[Dale]

Matt Riddle set to put skills to the test against Sheamus
It has been trial by fire since Matt Riddle debuted on the blue brand, and The Original Bro will face another stiff test in a battle with Sheamus.

The newcomer has been targeted by King Corbin since his debut, as a King’s Ransom has been offered to humble the rising Riddle. Sheamus will look to take out his own frustrations on a first-time opponent after his loss against Jeff Hardy in their Bar Fight.

Can Riddle score another statement victory in his early run on SmackDown? Or will Sheamus quell his hot start?

Bray Wyatt heads back to The Firefly Fun House after attack on Alexa Bliss
After the shocking conclusion to last week’s SmackDown, Bray Wyatt will return for an all-new edition of “The Firefly Fun House.”

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt reemerged with a shocking attack on Alexa Bliss, as Universal Champion Braun Strowman remains missing. Wyatt had warned that the demonic creature was ready to be unleashed, and “The Fiend” set his sights on the helpless Bliss.

Will the “Firefly Fun House” host reveal the true motivations of “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt’s attack? And will he continue to tempt The Monster Among Men with his actions?

Sheamus/Riddle could be a lot of fun

Jeff Hardy looks to continue redemption tour against King Corbin
Jeff Hardy is on a mission to conquer his demons, and King Corbin has been happy to present him with an entirely new challenge.

As The Charismatic Enigma addressed the WWE Universe last week, Corbin disrespectfully entered to dampen Hardy’s spirits. Drew Gulak would stand up for the legendary Superstar, but Corbin would dispatch of the grappler in the ensuing showdown.

Can Hardy overcome the latest roadblock, or will Corbin deal his comeback a debilitating blow?

“The Dirt Sheet” returns with special correspondent Sonya Deville
The always engaging “Dirt Sheet” brings in one of the most controversial Superstars on the blue brand, as Sonya Deville will join The Miz & John Morrison this Friday.

Deville blindsided Mandy Rose last week as The Golden Goddess prepared for a date with Otis. After the initial attack, Deville grabbed a pair of scissors and gave her former best friend an impromptu haircut. Deville promised to ruin Rose, and the extreme makeover was another step in their bitter back-and-forth.

What will Deville have to say following her brutal attack last week?

Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown on FOX at 8/7 C to see The Miz and Morrison talk to Deville, who will share her thoughts on last week’s stunning encounter.
