Maybe have Bo at some point do a Firefly Funhouse tribute segment sure he could pull it off.

And the Smackdown Preview was just released. The Federation continues on... What a heartless corporation. Won't even give the locker room time to grieve. Gotta get that FOX ad money. Where did you see that? If you go on the official website, the only preview released so far for Smackdown came before they announced Bray's passing, and there's been nothing since then.

Man, this one hits me hard. We're almost the same age. I missed peak Wyatt Family, and came back to wrestling around the time they were more of a midcard act. Bray was one of the most creative and compelling characters ever in wrestling for me, but it felt like things barely scratched the surface in terms of the stories that could have been told or what his characters were capable of. Such a crushing loss for the industry and everyone who knew him.

I really don’t see anybody (no Bo, no Alexa) doing a Firefly Funhouse segment for the next years. Maybe somewhere down the road as a tribute. So many untold stories and ideas must have been in his mind. WWE was not the same without him. His comeback had so much potential… Such a waste.

So was the Mountain Dew match with LA Knight his last one? The last one on television, yes. However they did a few more on houseshows if I remember correctly. It’s pretty save to say that LA was his last opponent though.

There is a special type of numbness to these events - those who pass who are young & even active - that being a fan of pro wrestling from a young age has given me & I wonder if others are feeling that as this day has gone on. Lost so many young stars over the years, I think back to the early 00s and recall my emotions being much more raw. Perhaps when I see my brother, this will hit me more emotionally. Just a awful tragedy for him & his family - hope they’re taken care of.

Think before you type Apologies. Wrestling Headlines published the existing Smackdown Preview late. I will think before I type next time. Wise words my friend...wise words.

Going to the Smackdown tribute show tonight, RIP Bray. Hell of a talent, gone WAY too soon.

Guys,
Please be respectful when posting. If you are unable to do so, DO NOT POST. It's that simple. No trolling, no disrespecting, no fighting, NO BS. Thank you, JS

I really wanted em to return soon as well ffs... it sucked that he missed this year's WM39.
He seemed like a great guy in real life, many wrestlers paying respect is good to see.

Been replaying Bray’s career in my mind all day and the words to the promo song with his Mania match with Taker really hit hard today
“Last night I had a real bad dream that you left me…”
Man… this really sucks

He should have lived long enough to retire and then to coach or be in creative until he decided he was ready to leave. So very sad. Fly high Bray.

I found out last night whilst drinking with friends, we were absolutely gutted and poured a shot for him and played his theme song. Such sad news ☹️

I remember I was at a Smackdown show with him and Harper on card. He faced Roman in street fight. I shouted something(I can't remember) and he laughed. Absolute class act. RIP

Man I don't think a wrestlers death has ever affected me so much, I haven't stopped thinking about it all day. Braun's tribute was really touching and left a massive lump in my throat.
I seen someone also post Windham's tribute to Brodie Lee:
"This isn't how it was supposed to be, it was supposed to be us fat, bald and useless running Wyatt Family spots in high school gyms in our 70's."
😢
