What a week it has been for WWE. The promotion has pulled off two great shows this week midst of these tough times. One can only imagine how hard it must be for the Superstars in front of empty chairs. But they make it look so easy.
This week, WWE has given us two matches to dwell over. On Raw, AJ Styles challenged his WrestleMania opponent, The Undertaker to a Boneyard Match. As if that wasn't enough to get the world talking, on SmackDown, Bray Wyatt challenged John Cena to a Firefly Fun House Match at WrestleMania.
I know what you all may be thinking. What is a Boneyard Match? What is a Firefly Fun House Match? While there is no official word on these matches, we at Sportskeeda have got you covered. I repeat, these are assumptions and we have no proof that these ideas may materialize.
#5 The Fun House puppets
We have grown accustomed to Rambling Rabbit, Huskus the pig, Abby the witch and Mercy the buzzard who are constants in every Firefly Fun House episode. They have been with Bray Wyatt since day one of his reincarnation.
Since these four characters have played a huge role in shaping the Firefly Fun House episodes on RAW and SmackDown, it is hard to imagine them not playing a role in this match. They may be used to distract John Cena or get into the mind of the Cenation Leader.
We may even see some or all of these characters come to life. Maybe an NXT call-up or a Superstar from John Cena's past may play a cameo as these characters. When Wyatt is involved, there's no saying where his imagination may lead him.
#4 Circle of Life
This surely isn't the first time that Bray Wyatt and John Cena will be locking horns. But it will be the first time that Cena will be facing The Fiend. On an episode of the Firefly Fun House, when Wyatt was on the verge of explaining why he picked John Cena, Rambling Rabbit interrupted him and gave us the reason.
Six years back when these two Superstars faced off, Cena got the better of Wyatt. This, according to Rambling Rabbit, sent Wyatt into a downward spiral of failure and negativity in his personal and professional life. Wyatt says that he has forgiven Cena but The Fiend hasn't.
Wyatt also mentions the circle of life and says that no matter how bright one's days may be, dark ones are right around the corner. Since his loss to Cena has made such a huge impact on his life, it is only apt for Wyatt to send Cena through a similar downward spiral.
We can expect The Fiend to take Cena through a room of his failures in his personal and professional life. You can watch the video below to know what I'm talking about.
#3 Switching between Bray Wyatt and The Fiend
The Firefly Fun House is Bray Wyatt's playground. He knows all the ins and outs of whatever he has planned for John Cena. It shouldn't be surprising if we see some supernatural tendencies emitting from The Fiend.
A character as mystique as The Fiend does deserve a platform to showcase what he is truly capable of. What better chance for The Fiend to show the world that he isn't another wrestler with a scary-looking mask who shows up out of nowhere?
Expect to see consistent switches from Bray Wyatt to The Fiend to mess with the mind of John Cena. Taking Cena through the journey of The Fiend's birth would be a sight to watch for the fans.
We know how creative Bray Wyatt can get and if he tries to pull out all the stops, which he should since its WrestleMania, this match may be a visual masterpiece. This also give Wyatt a chance to build depth in his character and give the fans a peak into his mental state.
#2 The Fiend's victims
Since his return as The Fiend, Wyatt has caused pain and suffering to many Superstars. He has a wall in his Fun House dedicated solely to such victims. His victims include the likes of Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley and many more.
I'm almost certain that this match will not take place at the venue and will be pre-taped outside. In this case, during the match as and when Cena is made to go from one room to another, The Fiend may vanish out of sight and a legend such as Mick Foley or Kurt Angle may appear for a quick second telling Cena to run away.
Using legends that have fallen prey to The Fiend would only build him up further and depict him as a major threat to the WWE Superstars. Also, such mind games and trickery would not only confuse Cena but also would result in good television content for the fans. WWE has its own studio that it can put in use for this match.
#1 The Fireflies
During the first episode of the Firefly Fun House, Bray Wyatt made it very clear that the Fun House was a place where his fireflies could feel safe. He has reiterated this statement many times during the nascent days of the Fun House.
It is clear that Wyatt refers to his followers as fireflies, but who are these followers of his? We have seen kids in some episodes. So my best guess is that he wants the children to follow him.
What could be spookier than having these kids surround John Cena telling him to let The Fiend in? Cena would be confused and blindsided by such an act as he is a role model for kids and watching them side with Wyatt would be something he would have never imagined.
All of us are eager to know what this kind of match entails and the only way to find out is to tune into the WWE shows and WrestleMania. As always, follow Sportskeeda for all your updates.
