John Cena sent a text to Bray Wyatt after watching The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles close out night one of WrestleMania 36 in 2020. John told Chris Van Vliet's 'Insight' show that he started to worry that their 'Firefly Fun House' bout might not top the 'Boneyard' brilliance before it.

So, Cena fired off a quick text to Bray telling him how "nervous" he was about how their chaotic match might turn out by comparison. John has saved that text to this day, because it's special to him and acts as a reminder that nerves aren't always the worst thing in the world.

Cena also noted how supportive Wyatt was throughout the whole experience. That's another reason why the text is still on his phone - he "wanted to thank [Bray] for being so brave and trusting me". The heartfelt sentiment was reciprocated, and both men enjoyed the end result of their 'Firefly' experiment.

It proved to be one of the wildest watches in 'Mania history, but is still fondly remembered by fans four years on. John remains "proud" of what he and Wyatt put together. He isn't ashamed to admit he was crapping his pants after seeing the intensity of 'Taker vs. AJ though!
