As you guys know if you follow my articles, the Firefly Fun House is my favorite thing not merely in WWE but in all of pro wrestling. And this is because this is one of the few things in the company that seems like it does not have the ugly stamp of WWE Creative ruining it.
We've known Bray Wyatt as a devious, evil, and sadistic individual in his previous run as the Eater of Worlds. And now, his character is far more complex and if I may be so blunt, a hundred times more interesting than his former avatar.

As is the case with a lot of Bray Wyatt's segments, you have to read between the lines to make sense of everything. Bear in mind that Bray Wyatt said that this was a special episode of the Firefly Fun House, so he wanted us to pay close attention.
And of course, the segment was special because of the cameo from the boss.
#5 Huskus The Pig Boy is Husky Harris
Bray Wyatt wasn't always the Eater of Worlds. Once upon a time, he was known as Husky Harris, a character that Bray Wyatt has claimed many a time did not truly represent and reflect who he was. And before he was the 'eater of worlds', he was the eater of...well, food!
Through this segment, Wyatt revealed that Husky Harris wasn't in shape and that he would not take care of himself and his health, gorging on things like chocolate. As we all know, WWE Superstars have to maintain a stringent diet and not go overboard with things like sweets.
This was a nice throwback character much like Abby The Witch and Mercy the Buzzard. All elements that brought us to the Firefly Fun House today!
#4 The transformation from Huskus to Bray Wyatt is revealed
So Bray Wyatt did not gain any measure of success as Husky Harris. However, he did garner a significant amount of fans and eyeballs as Bray Wyatt, a cult-leader based on Waylon Mercy, the old-school WWE Superstar from the 90s.
But how did Bray Wyatt go from Husky Harris who is a symbolic 'pig' to Bray Wyatt? He reveals the answer through a speech:
You know. Nobody's going to tell you this buddy, but one day, all this excess and this gluttony is going to come back to bite you in the tail. But one day, you could be great. One day, people are going to tell you that you're a genius. They're gonna say you have the whole world in your hands.
It is abundantly clear that Wyatt is talking about his transformation. Like I said, it's all about reading between the lines in every case.
#3 Vince McMahon is the devil
Many in the wrestling fraternity perceive Vince McMahon as the devil himself. Whether it is from the fact that he bought every single territory to create a business empire or even the fact that Dean Ambrose revealed all in the Talk is Jericho podcast, not everyone is necessarily a fan of McMahon's.
So it was amusing to see Vince McMahon show up as the special guest on the Firefly Fun House and even join Bray Wyatt for a dance. McMahon keeps himself in good shape and so it was all but natural to see him urge Huskus the Pig to get in shape during the segment.
Imagine how much creative liberty Bray Wyatt has in WWE. Not only does he get to write his own segments, but he can also involve the boss in them...the same guy who doesn't want his name mentioned at the WWE Hall of Fame every year.
This is awesome!
#2 Throwback to Vince McMahon's old-school dance
They say that Vince McMahon will never ask you to do something that he will not do himself. For a man who's spent the entirety of his adult life in the wrestling business, he has seen and done it all for sure. One of the things that he's never been averse to is dancing on camera for the benefit of the WWE Universe.
In this old-school video, you see legends like Jimmy Hart and Hulk Hogan make cameos as well. Hulk Hogan is rocking it up on the bass guitar, in what can only be described as a very old-school segment overall. Now if you watch this week's episode, you'll notice the similarities between the two segments.
Bray Wyatt has had various throwbacks in the past, especially to Waylon Mercy vignettes. This could be yet another tribute for discerning fans to potentially pick out.
#1 The Fiend is still lurking somewhere close by
I have had the pleasure of chatting with Matt Hardy during his visit to India and he told me that he wasn't a fan of the segment where The Wyatt Family tussled with The New Day inside the Wyatt Compound. This is because it just seemed way too serious and one dimensional and promised us that we'd see the evolution of Bray Wyatt soon.
I'm glad that this has finally happened and the Firefly Fun House is finally upon us. Now, while this week's edition of the Fun House seemed fun, bright, and cheerful, there were glimpses of a dark undertone at certain points.
Remember how we were introduced to a character called 'The Fiend' not long ago? Even the cheerful 'Muscleman Dance' tune had appearances from him.
Even though it may seem like a very happy-go-lucky gimmick, the Firefly Fun House is the darkest thing in WWE right now.
