WWE: Everyone lost their minds at the Firefly Funhouse Match

WWE presented a Firefly Funhouse match between John Cena and Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 36, but it wasn’t a match. It was a transformative experience.

When pro wrestling is good, it’s GOOD. Like, nothing even compares. And WWE‘s Firefly Funhouse match at WrestleMania 36 was a perfect example of how incredible wrestling can be.

John Cena and Bray Wyatt didn’t have a match in their pre-taped Firefly Funhouse match. No, Wyatt took Cena on an experience, using moments from his career and parodies of different eras of wrestling before eventually hitting the “Sister Abigail” and “Mandible Claw”. So Wyatt, as The Fiend, won, but it leaves us with more questions than answers about Cena’s own future.

Still, Wyatt more than made up for his loss to Cena at WrestleMania six years ago, exacting revenge on a scared, helpless Cena in the most brutal way possible.

And everyone watching at home? Well, we lost our minds at ALL the golden moments. Bray Wyatt using Nikki Bella’s theme song to mock Cena swinging and missing at him? Check. An Eric Bischoff impersonation? Check. The scary Vince McMahon “devil” doll? CHECK.

WWE Twitter – including Big E, because we ALWAYS need to know what E thinks at a time like this – lost their minds. In the best way possible.

Nobody can. It’s not possible to forget, and we will be reliving it for years and years to come.

Hands down. If Dave Meltzer doesn’t give it 20 stars, we’re switching to rating wrestling matches by throwing darts at a board, which is incidentally how some wrestling promotions book the ordrer of their matches at shows.

Hearing those words blare as Wyatt ended Cena was iconic.

Another wonderful take from Wrestle Features. The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles “Boneyard Match” blew us away on Night 1 of WrestleMania 36, and WWE even topped that on Sunday with Cena vs. Wyatt. We need more of these kinds of matches in the coming years, because they are absolutely genius and represent the best of what wrestling can be.

One day, EC3 will get his chance to do this with John Cena. One day.

Seeing the way everyone in the industry from writers to wrestlers has reacted to the Firefly Funhouse only seals this match’s legacy. A masterpiece!
