7 Ups & 8 Downs From One Year Of Bray Wyatt’s Fiend In WWE
1. WrestleMania 36's 'Firefly Fun House' Match
A controversial pick as the top 'Up'? Maybe.
The 'Firefly Fun House' match between Bray and John Cena at WrestleMania 36 was a total giggle from beginning to end though. On the surface, it was a rekindling of their feud from five years before. Beneath that, it could've been construed as a commentary on anything from WWE's obsession with physical appearance to how Wyatt has fit like a square peg might in a round hole over the years.
There was so much going on here. Both Cena and Wyatt played multiple characters across the surprisingly-short 13 minutes they were afforded, and that shorter length ensured the madness never outstayed its welcome. Bray's workouts, references to the nWo, throwbacks to Cena's debut - it was all present and correct.
The 'Fiend' reappeared in time for the finish and was presented as a difference maker for Bray. That's why this must be considered his crowning achievement since introducing the character. Wyatt, as the 'Fiend', won at 'Mania for the first time, entertained the hell out of everybody and beat WWE's old poster boy.
