Bray Wyatt has caught fire through his resurgent Firefly Fun House series.

Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House has taken the wrestling world by storm as the once-directionless WWE Superstar has quickly become the hottest act in the entire company.

Fresh off his home-run debut performance against Finn Balor at WWE SummerSlam, The Fiend is already nearing a world championship program as the latest Firefly Fun House episode confirmed he will be facing the winner of Seth Rollins vs. Braun Strowman—who will compete for Raw's Universal Championship at WWE Clash of Champions—at Hell in a Cell.

Wyatt deftly built anticipation for his debut through a series of still-ongoing vignettes dubbed the Firefly Fun House, and all told the series has amassed over 17 million viewers on YouTube. As is always the case, some videos have been more popular than others, with just about every video raking in the likes on YouTube as fans have truly responded to a gigantic risk on Wyatt's behalf amid a complete overhaul.

Wyatt has caught fire on WWEShop.com with the machine getting fully behind its resurgent star through the sales of everything from gloves, to masks and even a limited edition Firefly Fun Box that sold out immediately and is currently listed for well above its original price on the secondary market.

Wyatt can seemingly do no wrong, and in a company notorious for waiting too long to pull the trigger, WWE appears to have gone all in with Wyatt as he should be a strong favorite to capture his first WWE Universal Championship in what may only be his second match as The Fiend.

With plenty of time left for a fitting next pay-per-view appearance, Wyatt will have all the material he could ask for and then some as WWE heads into Hell in a Cell during what should be an eventful Halloween season.

#13 Rambling Rabbit Fears for Finn Balor in the Firefly Fun House—July 30, 2019

YouTube Likes: 13,000 (98% Like Percentage)

Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House video antagonizing Finn Balor was an important installment as it gave way to a darker turn for the suspiciously affable host in Bray Wyatt.

This video, ahead of The Fiend's SummerSlam debut against Balor, featured Rambling Rabbit positioned as a huge fan of Balor, yet one who was deeply concerned of what The Fiend would do to him. Rambling Rabbit quickly scurried away at the sight of Bray Wyatt, who performed an evil cackle after his quick search for the puppet was deemed unsuccessful.

The video essentially doubled as a commercial for an upcoming match between The Fiend and Balor, with footage of both WWE Superstars. As a result, the video ranks dead last in the series in terms of likes as there was limited storyline advancement beyond hyping a match.

#12 Bray Wyatt has a Warning for Finn Balor—August 6, 2019

YouTube Likes: 16,000 (98% Like Percentage)

The second-least liked video of the Firefly Fun House series featured the return of Huskus the Pig Boy (more on him later), who wasted no time binge eating an assortment of candy before Wyatt disingenuously praised his bravery.

Wyatt used the video to continue to taunt Finn Balor ahead of their aforementioned SummerSlam match. The video also featured more imagery of The Fiend, Wyatt's dark alter-ego.

The fact that Wyatt's "Funhouse" videos against Finn Balor registered relatively low amount of likes is peculiar as his original challenge to the WWE Superstar will be among the Top 3 in terms of likes registered. Wyatt's feud with Finn Balor was simple, well-executed and featured a strong payoff. However, two of the three Balor-related vignettes fall at the bottom of the list of most-liked episodes.

#11 Throw Your Cares Away at the Firefly Fun House—May 20, 2019

YouTube Likes: 19,000 (98% Like Percentage)

This installment of Firefly Fun House wasn't so much of an episode as it was a haunting montage. With limited original content from within the Firefly Fun House itself, the creepy video featured several children enjoying themselves before switching to shots of bored, seemingly desolate children.

The quick cuts between apathetic kids made for a striking juxtaposition against the happy-go-lucky theme music and was further hinting toward the fact that not everything was as it seemed withing the Firefly Fun House, originally fancied as a children's paradise.

"Throw your Cares Away" was an important video in the character development of Bray Wyatt as it confirmed that he was indeed a heel and despite the fun-loving vibes of the Firefly Fun House, it was nowhere near the charming safe haven that it tried to be to the naked eye.

#10 Mercy the Buzzard has a Disturbing Meal on Firefly Fun House—May 6, 2019

YouTube Likes: 22,000 (96% Like Percentage)

In the darkest episode of the Firefly Fun House to this point, the May 6 installment saw a cantankerous Mercy the Buzzard completely devour Rambling Rabbit.

While this appeared to be the demise of Rambling Rabbit, the puppet has since made multiple appearances inside the Firefly Fun House, including a cameo in the most recent episode where Rambling Rabbit was seen brandishing a "Help!" sign before being hidden by Wyatt.

The episode also featured an array of bored children, which quickly became a theme in the Firefly Fun House. Mercy the Buzzard's namesake appears to be an ode to Waylon Mercy, who was an inspiration to Bray Wyatt's original cult leader persona. Mercy was the first semblance of the Firefly Fun House, as the original teaser video showed him ominously popping out of a box inside a dark room.

#9 "The Fiend" is here to Protect us on Firefly Fun House—May 27, 2019

YouTube Likes: 24,000 (97% Like Percentage)

Two weeks after debuting the new-look Fiend character inside the Firefly Fun House, the follow-up episode saw Bray Wyatt interacting with Abby the Witch, named after Wyatt's longstanding relationship with Sister Abigail.

Sister Abigail begged to be put out of her misery as she is sick of being in limbo at the Firefly Fun House, yet Wyatt used the word "limbo" as a cue to perform a limbo dance while a pair of disinterested children held the bar.

Wyatt opened the episode with a handmade drawing of The Fiend on a paper plate, thereby humanizing the otherwise terrifying demon as a harmless mascot. This is only more chilling considering how eerie The Fiend would eventually turn out live.

The episode was further proof of Wyatt's descent into madness and even saw Wyatt—dressed as a doctor—diagnose Abby the Witch with bullying.

#8 Bray Wyatt has a Smashing Time on “Firefly Fun House”—June 10, 2019

YouTube Likes: 28,000 (96% Like Percentage)

This June installment of Firefly Fun House opened with Bray Wyatt breaking up a fight between Rambling Rabbit and Mercy the Buzzard, who had already developed a troubling history after Mercy the Buzzard ate Rambling Rabbit in a prior episode. In fact, Rambling Rabbit's defense for attacking Mercy with a fly swatter was "Mercy is trying to eat me again."

After Rambling Rabbit threatened to expose what's really going on in the Fun House, Wyatt physically assaulted the rabbit before smashing him repeatedly with a large mallet. This episode further established Rambling Rabbit—who was last seen brandished a "Help!" sign on the most recent episode—as the Firefly Fun House's fall guy. In a particularly violent scene, Rambling Rabbit's blood was turned into a jam called Rambling Rabbit's Bohemian Breakfast Spread.

Seemingly a rabbit with nine lives, Rambling Rabbit would go on to make future appearances in the Firefly Fun House.

#7 Fear is Power in the Firefly Fun House—June 17, 2019

YouTube Likes: 34,000 (97% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

The first highlight of "Fear is Power" was Bray Wyatt "gardening" by pouring water on what amounted to be a mound of dirt inside of a pot. This episode also featured a plea by Bray Wyatt and the entire cast of the Firefly Fun House to "join us" amid in-and-out imagery of worms in addition to the more dark and violent moments from the show.

Firefly Fun House also featured more footage of The Fiend just under a month after the character was debuted as the reveal of a secret from Wyatt.

As part of a running gimmick, Rambling Rabbit was shown wearing a makeshift splint on his right arm one week after Bray Wyatt smashed him to smithereens with a mallet. The fact that Rambling Rabbit was supporting the "join us" cause in spite of his treatment within the Fun House demonstrates obvious signs of Stockholm Syndrome.

#6 Do the “Muscle Man Dance” on “Firefly Fun House”—June 3, 2019

YouTube Likes: 36,000 (95% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

A popular episode in terms of viewership (it's one of seven episodes to clear one million views on YouTube), Bray Wyatt's wildly entertaining "Muscle Man Dance" also coincided with the debut of a "Boss" character. The "Boss" of course was a meta commentary of Vince McMahon, who appears with devil horns as a nod to his heel authority figure persona. The horns could also double as a veiled reference of the endless criticism he receives from fans and media.

This episode also sees the debut of Huskus the Pig Boy, a nod to Wyatt's original character of Husky Harris back in the early days of NXT. The boss threatens to fire both Wyatt and Huskus the Pig Boy if Huskus is unable to get in shape, prompting an all-too-hilarious Muscle Man Dance music video.

#5 Bray Wyatt Paints a Surprising picture on "Firefly Fun House"—April 29, 2019

YouTube Likes: 41,000 (96% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

Bray Wyatt captures his inner Bob Ross with an art-inspired episode where he paints a demonic picture of a house burning to the ground. This, of course, is an Easter egg for Wyatt's up-and-down WrestleMania storyline with Randy Orton back in 2017 that saw The Viper burn his house to the ground.

This was also the first and only episode to feature a word of the day, which ended up being "sociopath."

Sister Abigail appears in this episode almost as a cynical motherly figure who delivers tough love to the host by reminding him of his dark past.

This was just the second episode of Firefly Fun House, which provided even more hints of Wyatt's dark turn despite insisting all his problems were behind him.

In addition to receiving 41,000 likes, the episode also hauled in over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

#4 “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt accepts Finn Balor’s challenge—July 23, 2019

YouTube Likes: 46,000 (97% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

Though the remaining Firefly Fun House videos dedicated to Bray Wyatt's feud with Finn Balor placed in the bottom two, the revelation that The Fiend had accepted Finn Balor's SummerSlam challenge was among the most popular videos.

At over 2.1 million views, this video was the third-most popular of the entire series in terms of views as it was one of only three Firefly Fun House videos to clear two million views. Wyatt's zany children's television show is self-contained and rarely does he interact with WWE Superstars. Perhaps the novelty of a more interactive Firefly Fun House led to stronger numbers as The Fiend's storyline direction took a turn for the better.

This episode featured an overly enthusiastic Bray Wyatt flanked by Rambling Rabbit and Mercy the Buzzard, all of whom claimed to be humungous fans of Balor.

#3 Firefly Fun House Addresses Hell in a Cell Rumors—September 2, 2019

YouTube Likes: 46,000 (98% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

Though it just debuted days ago, the latest Firefly Fun House has already shot up the rankings to become the third-most liked video of the entire series.

In a very news-making appearance, Wyatt confirms rumors that The Fiend will indeed receive a Universal Championship match against the winner of the Clash of Champions main event between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman. The match would take place at WWE Hell in a Cell, presumably inside the titular structure although that has not been confirmed.

This episode also saw the "Boss" character reprise his role, once again threatening to fire Bray Wyatt before being subdued by Wyatt feeding him cash, which was representative of all the money Bray Wyatt has been making since debuting as The Fiend.

As hot as The Fiend has become, this episode should mark the beginning of a likely culmination in Wyatt's first-ever Universal Championship win.

#2 Welcome to Bray Wyatt’s "Firefly Fun House"—April 22, 2019

YouTube Likes: 73,000 (90% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

After weeks of teasing twisted puppet characters that clearly reeked of a Bray Wyatt, Wyatt's actual repackaging was beyond anybody's imagination.

Instead of returning to his head-on dark and creepy bona fides, Wyatt surprisingly popped back onto the scene under the guise of an exuberant children's television host. Puppets used to tease Wyatt's return were all featured as the debut episode of Firefly Fun House introduced Mercy the Buzzard and Abby the Witch.

Wyatt wasted little time adding a dark undertone to the vignettes, but the dynamic only enhanced what has quickly become the finest pieces of programming WWE has to offer on a weekly basis.

Though this video logged the second-most views and YouTube likes, it also garnered the most dislikes at 7,300 as some fans remained sceptical of Wyatt's reboot.

The creepiest moment came when Wyatt used a chainsaw to destroy a cardboard cutout of himself, symbolizing he had moved on from his old ways and was ready to start anew. Lucky for Wyatt, The Fiend and the entire Firefly Fun House series, fans were all to eager to start anew with him.

#1 Bray Wyatt reveals a dark secret on “Firefly Fun House”—May 13, 2019

YouTube Likes: 80,000 (97% Like Percentage)

youtube-cover

The most popular video of the entire Firefly Fun House series was, quite fittingly, the very first reveal of The Fiend character.

After playing a little hide-and-seek with the camera man, one of the first images of this installment was a return to a familiar theme as Rambling Rabbit was shown with a band-aid over his eye.

With fans fully invested, Wyatt teased a secret. "It's almost time for me to show the world what I've really been working on," said Wyatt, who parlayed canned, in-studio crowd participation into a dark reveal.

This was the debut of The Fiend's sure-to-be-popular mask, and even featured a brief sample of what turned out to be his already popular new theme music. Further enhancing the grim vibes was a creepy rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" playing in the background.
