#4 Vince McMahon's portrayal

Vince McMahon has shown that he isn't afraid to be a butt of the joke in the past, and he more than proved that when a crude caricature of him appeared on The Firefly Funhouse. Of course, McMahon's puppet has appeared multiple times on the dark kid's show parody, but it was his latest appearance that had fans talking.

Things started oddly enough, with Bray Wyatt acknowledging the rumors of him taking on Bruan Strowman or Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell. This prompted "McMahon" to rush in and berate him. Wyatt then asked the puppet to please calm down, and fed him money - presumably made from the earnings of his new gimmick gimmick.

Not only was this McMahon being able to laugh at himself for the first in a long time, but it also was a truly bizarre fourth wall breaker. It pretty much left The WWE Universe in a state of absolute shock and wondering what kind of nightmare fuel that the company had planned next.

In the end, it was probably one of the best meta moments of all time, especially since it plays on fans' opinion of McMahon, and could be the beginning of a reality-bending storyline.
