Admittedly, Bray Wyatt's 'Firefly Fun House' skits got old during his last run in WWE. The quietly terrifying feigned happiness of each one got diluted the deeper Bray got into his stint as The 'Fiend', but it was still nice to see 'Fun House' return on this week's show.

This will be remembered as a neat bit of build towards Royal Rumble provided creative don't lazily expect Wyatt to produce miracles with humdrum material every single week. Hats off to LA Knight for staring around the arena like, 'You guys seeing this sh*t?!' too. That sold this bizarre comeback in the best way.

Knight has grasped his opportunity, to say the least.

Wyatt visibly enjoys shooting these segments himself. They let him show off his range as a performer, and this reboot for 'Fun House' worked because he's been rushing through some of his older gimmicks lately. 'Firefly' might end up being the pick of the bunch.
