5 WWE Superstars who created popular gimmick matches: Who invented the Elimination Chamber and MITB matches?

#2 Bray Wyatt created the Firefly Fun House match

At WrestleMania 36, we witnessed one of the most unique matches in WWE history, when John Cena faced off against Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Fun House match. The outing was more of a movie than an actual match, but it certainly did its job of entertaining the WWE Universe. It was later revealed that Bray Wyatt himself came up with the match, and he was heavily involved in the production.

The Firefly Fun House match was executed by WWE to perfection

Bruce Prichard and John Cena were also involved in the production of the match, and the final product came out way better than anyone must have expected. The match was essentially Bray Wyatt getting into Cena's head and the WWE legend witnessing the characters that he donned in the past, including the character he donned during his first appearance on SmackDown in 2002. Cena eventually lost the match, and Wyatt thus exacted revenge for the loss he had suffered against the 16-time World Champion at WrestleMania XXX, six years ago.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
