Predicting a push for the guy who won WrestleMania 36's most praised match isn't exactly bold, but 'The Fiend' is well and truly back.

The middling reactions that have met his post-Hell In A Cell output were blown away in an outrageous, outstanding meta-bout with John Cena, as WWE struck upon the perfect way to utilise Bray Wyatt's creativity in their new cinematic universe. It ruled, and Bray hasn't been this hot since destroying Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2019.

Get ready to Wyatt to become a fixture once more, though not necessarily in the Universal Title scene. With the Firefly Fun House match, WWE created a monster that can exist in his own wild world adjacent to anything else in the company, bringing guys like Cena over for the big, cinematic epics. Continuing down this road means Bray won't need the title. That he ever did in the first place is debatable, of course, but they've struck gold now: why not roll with it?

Already WWE's biggest merch-shifter, Wyatt could prove a vital audience-grabber in this realm. Imagine being a child and seeing the Cena "match" for the first time. Instant captivation.
