Bray Wyatt finally got his WrestleMania moment last night on the 36th edition of the 'Show of Shows' after he defeated John Cena in a bizarre Firefly Funhouse match. In what you could hardly describe as a match, Bray had complete control over Cena and his mind as the two recreated some huge moments from John Cena's past and their WrestleMania XXX rivalry.
It's safe to say that Bray badly needed this victory after losing his Universal Championship to Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown. With this one, Bray finally ended his losing streak on the 'Grandest Stage of them All' as he was 0-3 (win-loss) before this match at WrestleMania.
The rivalry between the 16-time World Champion and Bray Wyatt looks done and dusted. Bray surely has a lot of momentum after defeating him. Now the question is, who will be his next target? Moreover, will we see more Firefly Funhouse matches until the live crowd returns?

Let's take a look at five opponents for 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. Be sure to let us know your thoughts about the Firefly Funhouse match in the comments section below.
Note: These rivalries need not necessarily start immediately.
#5 Sheamus
Sheamus made his big return earlier this year on the first SmackDown of 2020. WWE had started airing video packages of his return and fans were expecting a massive push for the Celtic Warrior. Unfortunately, no such thing happened as Sheamus had a very mediocre f rivalry against Shorty G and quickly lost all his momentum, so much so that he couldn't even get himself a match at WrestleMania 36.
He is desperately in need of a big rivalry and WWE could make him the next opponent (or victim?) for The Fiend. Bray Wyatt and Sheamus have previously crossed paths on RAW a couple of times and while they don't have a very rich history against each other, both can still create a compelling feud. Of course, WWE could make it a filler feud as well.
#4 Roman Reigns
Before Goldberg shocked the world and defeated The Fiend at WWE Super ShowDown in February, the rumored match for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 was Roman Reigns taking on the sadistic alter ego of Bray Wyatt.
Of course, the plan changed and WWE tried to book a dream match between Goldberg and Reigns in a "Battle of the Spears", but the Big Dog pulled out of the match at the last moment due to concerns over his health.
Whether Roman will return after WrestleMania or not is something to be seen as health would be his primary concern and rightly so. But if he does return, we might be in for the feud which was supposed to take place on the Road to WrestleMania.
Reigns and Wyatt have a huge history against each other, be it as part of The Shield and The Wyatt Family or in singles action. It has been established that The Fiend is here to hurt those who have hurt Bray in the past.
#3 Jeff Hardy
SmackDown has seen some massive returns since the beginning of 2020 and one of the most recent ones was that of Jeff Hardy last month. With his brother Matt Hardy leaving the company and joining the rivals AEW, fans were wondering what role he will possibly play.
Now with WrestleMania in the history books, WWE needs more compelling feuds to maintain their TV ratings in the post-Mania period and they can do just that by booking Jeff Hardy and Bray Wyatt against each other.
Before Bray Wyatt made his return to WWE last year with this completely new gimmick, it was the Ultimate Deletion match in which Matt Hardy threw him in the lake of reincarnation. In the closing moments of that match, Jeff Hardy played a pivotal role in helping Matt defeat Bray and hence WWE has a great storyline to continue with The Fiend wanting to take revenge against the Charismatic Enigma.
To make things more interesting, Jeff Hardy could transform into his alter ego "The Willow" as well. These two supernatural characters going up against each other would be epic. Maybe we can get yet another cinematic style match between the two.
#2 Braun Strowman
One of the biggest winners coming out of WrestleMania 36 is the new Universal Champion, Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men came in as a last-minute replacement for Roman Reigns in his title match against Goldberg. While many were expecting the Hall of Famer to retain due to there being no proper build to Strowman-Goldberg, Braun shocked everyone and walked out with his world title victory.
With this massive victory, Braun Strowman has a huge momentum on his side and WWE would want to keep it high with a massive rivalry for him. And who better to do that than 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. It was Wyatt whom Goldberg defeated at WWE Super ShowDown to win the Universal Championship and it is only fitting for him to want a rematch against the new champion.
Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt also have a huge history against each other as Strowman debuted on the main roster as part of the Wyatt Family with Bray Wyatt. Last year on RAW, The Fiend attacked Braun Strowman during his rivalry against Seth Rollins, giving us a tease for this match.
Strowman, in some way, betrayed Wyatt by leaving his side and The Fiend would be looking to take revenge!
#1 The Undertaker
Ever since Bray Wyatt debuted his new gimmick last year, WWE fans have been expressing their desires to see a match between The Fiend and The Undertaker. While the two have clashed previously at WrestleMania 31, the Wyatt that we see today is the true "new face of fear" in WWE and it is only fitting for him to go up against the man who has been leading the force of darkness for so many years in WWE.
Both The Undertaker and Bray Wyatt had unique matches at WrestleMania 36. While the Dead Man took on AJ Styles in a Boneyard match, Wyatt defeated John Cena in a Firefly Funhouse match. Both these matches were shot uniquely with cinematic effects which made them two of the most talked-about matches from WrestleMania 36.
With the Dead Man looking to be in great shape and WWE utilizing the concept of cinematic matches to its full effect, can we see these two Superstars take on each other in a similar setting? WWE looks set to be having more empty arena matches for the next few months and having these two supernatural characters clash in a unique match would be great content for wrestling fans.
Would you want a Firefly Funhouse match or a Boneyard match between these two?
