#5. WWE lets Bray Wyatt relive his old persona, June 19th 2020

After Braun Strowman defeated Bray Wyatt at the Money in the Bank pay per view, one would think WWE would give Bray a rematch immediately. Unfortunately for the WWE Universe, this didn't end up happening, and Wyatt was off television for weeks seemingly without explanation.

Wyatt returned on the June 19th episode of SmackDown and discussed what activities he had been up to since his absence. One of them was raising the dead, which no one took very seriously. All that changed though, when Braun Strowman went to the ring to confront him and stood face to face with his former cult leader.

If nothing else, this episode started off with such an upbeat tone, that Bray Wyatt returning to his cult leader persona was a legitimate surprise. WWE also edited the clips together in a way that brought chills to the audience, and made them wonder what would happen next. The segment even opened the door to a trip down memory lane, which was nice to see again.

#4. WWE introduces Wobbly Walrus to the Firefly Funhouse for a one-time appearance, September 11th 2020

Wobbly Walrus might have only participated in one episode of the Firefly Funhouse, but WWE made it a very interesting one. This episode included Wyatt accidentally killing Pasquali the Persevering Parrot, and Vince McMahon demanding that Wyatt make changes to the popular show.

Those changes turned out to be Wobbly Walrus, who was a parody of Roman Reigns' advisor, Paul Heyman. The puppet had everything from Heyman's bald head, to his sleazy character. He even rambled throughout his opening lines, which prompted WWE to add subtitles to everything the character said.

In the end, this would have been a very interesting direction for the Firefly Funhouse to go in if they kept Bray working with Roman Reigns. Unfortunately for Wyatt, that never happened, and he was quickly switched to RAW during the draft. It wouldn't be all bad though, as Wyatt would find a new co-host in Alexa Bliss and the show would go on to be one of the most must-see segments on RAW.

#3. WWE finally spills the beans on The Fiend's origins, November 2nd 2020

WWE has gone into the origin story of the Firefly Funhouse several times, but never really filled in the blanks until the November 2nd episode of RAW. That's when Wyatt finally came clean and revealed that Randy Orton was responsible for the Firefly Funhouse and The Fiend character.

Although WWE themed the episode as a tribute to the RKO finisher, it soon became clear that Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt just wanted Randy Orton's attention. In fact, Wyatt kept flashing back to Orton destroying the Wyatt compound 3 years ago, which left him unable to contain his rage at his former friend.

This was all capped off by Abby the Witch repeatedly cursing out anyone that brought up Randy Orton's name, and even got told to put money in the swear jar. The segment ended with Wyatt claiming that The Fiend never forgets and Alexa Bliss revealing a new trick that forced Wyatt to put money in the swear jar as well.

#2. WWE introducing Friendship Frog to the Firefly Funhouse, November 20th 2020

You know things are going to take a dark turn when WWE gives Bray Wyatt the greenlight to talk about friendship, and that is exactly what happened here. It started with Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss talking up Bliss's matchup against Nikki Cross, when she was interrupted by a frog puppet.

While Wyatt and Bliss argued that friendship was evil, and that friends would only turn on you, the frog puppet proclaimed how great it is. This caused Abby the Witch to drop a perfectly timed f-bomb as the group was left to wonder who their uninvited guest could be. What happened next would be completely ridiculous.

The puppet introduced himself as Friendship Frog, and quickly drew the ire of Alexa Bliss for counteracting their narrative on friendship. Bray Wyatt proceeds to grab a giant mallet and squashes the frog several times while Bliss laughs hysterically. WWE finally tops it off with what can only be described as a hilarious video tribute to the fallen friend.

#1. WWE presents the first-ever Firefly Funhouse match, Wrestlemania 36

Although it wasn't like most of the segments on this list, John Cena versus The Fiend in a Firefly Funhouse match was still one the best things to air on WWE television this year. Not only did it show how far Bray Wyatt was willing to go to be as off the wall as possible, but it also played into the controversial history of John Cena within the company.

From rewriting John Cena's debut on SmackDown, to going back to Saturday Night's Main Event to draw a comparison between Hogan and Cena's egos, this match had everything. It even lightly played into Cena's role in backstage politics, and how it had helped his WWE career.

In the end, seeing the Doctor of Thuganomics come back was just the cherry on top, but it was cool to see Cena 'pass the torch' to The Fiend in a sense. It was also cool to see all the layers WWE added to this match, and how much creative control Wyatt must have had in this cinematic masterpiece. It was truly a bizarre series of events that left fans in awe at the magic that was created that night.
