Randy Orton noticed an interesting tweet sent out by Bray Wyatt on his official Twitter account and decided to have some fun. 

Wyatt noted in a post that he could come face to face with The Rattlesnake, which is a tease about WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin appearing on Monday Night RAW. He would then quote Sister Abigail.

Steve Austin & Loaded Lineup For Tonight’s WWE RAW From MSG

This is when Orton responded with a great tweet where he brought up how he thought he got rid of Abigail when he burned down Wyatt’s house during their feud a few years ago. Check out Orton’s tweet:

After Orton turned on Wyatt and beat him for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 33, WWE had Orton burn down the house as part of their storyline.

This led to a House of Horrors match being booked at the Payback pay-per-view event in 2017 in San Jose, California.

This finished up their feud that was a longterm program on SmackDown Live at the time. 

Orton is slated to challenge Kofi Kingston in a SummerSlam rematch for the WWE Title at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view event this Sunday.

Wyatt is slated to face the winner of Seth Rollins vs. Braun Strowman for the Universal Title at the Hell in a Cell show next month. 

The WWE star that Bray Wyatt is slated to face at the upcoming Hell In a Cell event appears to have been revealed. 

WWE sent out commercials to various markets to promote upcoming live events including one in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The advertisements list Universal Champion Seth Rollins defending his title against Wyatt. 

This comes at an interesting time considering that Wyatt has issued a challenge to Rollins or Braun Strowman for a Hell in a Cell match at this show. Wyatt will challenge for the Universal Championship at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

If the plan is indeed for Wyatt vs. Rollins at live events then these advertisements indicate Rollins being Wyatt’s opponent at HIAC. You can watch the commercials here: 

WWE often takes full advantage of the “card subject to change” disclaimer, so it’s possible they will go in a different direction with at least one of these matches. 

Rollins will defend the Universal Title against Strowman at Clash of Champions next weekend live on the WWE Network.

The company will hold Hell in a Cell in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center on Sunday, October 6, at 3:30 p.m. local time.

Braun Strowman had some high praise for his former Wyatt Family leader, Bray Wyatt, and his new character The Fiend.

Speaking on Sam Roberts’ podcast, Notsam Wrestling, Strowman spoke about his friendship with Wyatt, calling him “one of my closest friends inside and outside of the business.” He divulged that Bray got into a “weird place” as he struggled with his WWE direction before eventually landing on the Firefly Funhouse and Fiend gimmick.

“[…] he literally went into the drawing board and started from scratch. We went for a while without even talking because he went so deep into this character; he shut himself out from the world. I remember watching the very first episode of the Firefly Funhouse and was thinking, ‘What the hell is this? Bray, what are you doing?’ But the more I watched, I couldn’t turn away from it. It was so intriguing what he was doing, and then they brought ‘The Fiend’ out and I was like, ‘Alright, it’s unbelievable.'”

He continued, “Bray’s mind – he is so talented in this industry, phenomenal in the ring, probably the best damn guy on the microphone going, let’s be for real,” Braun said. “There’s a lot of guys that can talk, but when you give Bray Wyatt free reign on the microphone, it’s hard to keep up with him. Just his mind for this business and for entertainment [is impressive]. He thought all about this character on his own, and it’s just like, it blows my mind. But at the same time, it’s just so good to have him back.”

“He’s My Brother”

Strowman called Wyatt a locker room leader who helps lift morale as “one of the top guys in the company.” He reflected on how Wyatt mentored him when he first debuted with the Wyatt Family, recalling how he would drive him around and the two would talk non-stop about the business. 

“He taught me the business,” Strowman said. “When I came in, that was it. I drove Bray around and he talked and taught me the business. He taught me how to book hotels, he taught me where to eat, how to do everything on the road, because I had no idea. I will forever be indebted to that man. He’s my brother.”

Braun Strowman will perform double duty at WWE’s September event Clash of Champions. He will not only defend the RAW Tag Team Championships with partner Seth Rollins, but he will also face Rollins in a match for the Universal Championship. Reports indicate that The Fiend may be next for whoever emerges victorious.

Bray Wyatt is slated for a big match at the upcoming WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, according to a local advertisement. 

The official Twitter account of the arena that will host this show sent out a post that noted Wyatt has issued a challenge to Seth Rollins or Braun Strowman for a Hell in a Cell match at this show. 

Although the ad didn’t mention if this will be for the Universal Championship but it’s likely considering the main event of the WWE Clash of Champions PPV event. 

Rollins will defend the Universal Title against Strowman at Clash of Champions next month. 

The company will hold Hell in a Cell in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center on Sunday, October 6, at 3:30 p.m. local time.

Braun Strowman & Seth Rollins Set For Two Matches At WWE Clash Of Champions

Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins and Randy Orton vs. WWE Champion Kofi Kingston are being locally advertised for this show.

WWE often takes full advantage of the “card subject to change” disclaimer, so it’s possible they will go in a different direction with at least one of these matches.

These matches indicate where WWE’s storyline plans are headed in the months ahead.

Bray Wyatt’s Fiend has taken WWE by storm in recent months. His most recent attack occurred on RAW this week during a planned episode of the King’s Court. Before Jerry Lawler could bring out his scheduled guest Sasha Banks, Wyatt’s Fiend appeared and delivered a Mandible Claw to the legend.

Wyatt posted the following to Twitter asking for Lawler’s forgiveness:

Wyatt also responded to a fan on Twitter asking if he remembered the wrestler once known as Husky Harris. He tagged Cody Rhodes in his response.

Cody was Harris’ “Pro” back in the era of NXT when new talent was partnered up with a more experienced WWE talent. Wyatt teamed with Cody his first two matches in WWE. Their first match as a team they lost to MVP and Percy Watson but won their second match against Mark Henry and Lucky Cannon.

Bray Wyatt’s Fiend in WWE 2K20

Wyatt’s new character was recently confirmed as downloadable and pre-order content for the upcoming WWE 2K20 video game. The game is scheduled to be released on October 22nd.

• Bray Wyatt’s Fiend Announced As WWE 2K20 Pre-Order Bonus

“WWE 2K20 Originals: Bump in the Night’s centerpiece is the debut playable version of “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, who taunted the WWE Universe for months before his in-ring debut at SummerSlam this past Sunday. Wyatt fits in perfectly with the pack, loaded with a horror-themed Showcase, unique story towers, frightening versions of some of your favorite WWE Superstars, and much more,” a WWE 2K20 press release for the game reads.

Bray Wyatt attacked Mick Foley on the RAW Reunion show last month, giving him his own patented Mandible Claw in the process. Foley recently spoke to Wrestling Inc about Wyatt using his old move and his upcoming “hardcore confrontation” with Frank the Clown.

“I think it’s nice to look at the show and see your fingerprints here and there,” Foley said. “Where, as ten years ago when I left, there were a lot of people who had grown up idolizing Ric, and Shawn, and Bret, and you could see that in the work. So now you have guys like Bray, who told me years ago, ‘Look, I’m doing something in a rocking chair,’ because he had gotten a rocking chair from an interview that I did for Randy Orton. You see it a little bit with Aleister Black and the rocking, and Su Yung, and Rosemary, and I love it; Sami Callihan doing the cactus driver.” 

“And so, I feel for Bray because you want a finishing move that you can do to anyone at any time. The mandible claw… is something that is all [Bray’s] now.”

The full interview can be viewed in the player below:

Mick Foley on “Hardcore Confrontation” With Frank the Clown

Foley is booked in a “hardcore confrontation” with his daughter’s boyfriend Frank the Clown for Warrior Wrestling 6 in Chicago the night after All In.

“It’s a challenge, not a match,” Foley explained. “I cannot go from my last match being with Ric Flair to Frank The Clown. Which is why I made it clear, in no way, shape, or form is this going to be a match.”

The physical appearance of Bray Wyatt’s Fiend persona still has wrestling fans buzzing since its debut at SummerSlam.

The unsettling mask would be accompanied that night with a disturbing lantern modelled on Wyatt’s head.

With its mouth stretched and elongated to hold the light, and its eyes sewn shut, the lantern created an undeniably powerful statement, thanks to the work by Tom Savini Studios.

Speaking with GameSpot, Savini Studios’ Jason Baker—who is credited as the supervisor of Wyatt’s mask construction—discussed their relationship with WWE, as well as the collaboration process with Wyatt.

Baker explained that Savini Studios and WWE have a relationship stretching back almost ten years, naming Erik Rowan, Luke Harper, Kallisto, and Stephanie McMahon as some of the Superstars they have previously worked with.

When it came to the Fiend, however, Baker asserts that Bray deserves all the credit.

“It’s all Bray’s brainchild,” he said. “He had these ideas, and we did some concept art, but it wasn’t really hitting home with Bray. So he got a really, really good sketch artist named Kyle Scarborough, out of St Louis, to do some concept art for him. Those sketches were awesome, and we took those and brought them to life.”

“They’re good blueprints, but we put our own stamp on the mask as well,” continues Baker. “It comes down to sculpting, logistics, and comfort. If the guy’s going to wear this while beating the living piss out of people, he should be able to see out of it and make sure it’s strapped to his head.”

Baker teased that, despite the Firefly Funhouse and Fiend work that has consumed his life, the WWE Universe “haven’t seen anything yet.”

Bray Wyatt’s Fiend defeated Finn Balor at SummerSlam this weekend. He has since been announced as downloadable content for the upcoming WWE 2K20 video game and his new theme music is selling well on iTunes.

It appears Wyatt could have a new challenger lurking, however. Aleister Black recently sent Wyatt a message on Twitter which could be perceived as invitation to knock on his door. Black was responding to a Tweet in regards to Wyatt’s character being announced for WWE 2K20.

When Wyatt responded, however, he was only interested in showing Black that he has a door as well.

Aleister Black on the Main Roster

Aleister Black is undefeated in single’s matches on the main roster. He’s wrestled 5 singles matches and won them all.

Wyatt fits in perfectly with the pack, loaded with a horror-themed Showcase, unique story towers, frightening versions of some of your favorite WWE Superstars, and much more,” a WWE 2K20 press release for the game reads.

‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt finally made his debut on the SummerSlam PPV after months of buildup and defeated the former World Champion Finn Balor in a singles bout.

His debut was highly praised by the fans and it was considered to be one of the highlights of the PPV, so it was quite surprising that Wyatt was kept away from Television afterward.

He did not appear on Raw or SmackDown Live episode following the PPV and since WWE also shortened his entrance on their YouTube channel, a lot of people wondered if his character was considered too scary for television.

Ryan Satin of the Pro Wrestling Sheet provided some update on the situation. He revealed that the reason why The Fiend was not shown on WWE Programming was because Officials want his character to be special:

Though it doesn’t look like Wyatt will be staying away for too long as the company is now advertising him for next week’s episode of Raw.

So we can expect the former WWE Champion to return to TV during the August 19th episode of the show from Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Next week’s episode of Raw will also feature the return of the King Of The Ring tournament and while WWE hasn’t revealed a lot of details, a new report has confirmed the date when its finals will take place. You can check out the report on the matter here.

‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt finally made his debut on WWE programming during the SummerSlam PPV, after spending months on building his new character.

Wyatt came to the ring with a brand new entrance, complete with a remixed theme song. He then went on to defeat former World Champion Finn Balor in a singles match at the show.

WWE later posted the full video of Wyatt’s chilling entrance from the PPV on their YouTube Channel and you can check out his debut as the Fiend in the video below:

Charlotte Flair Shows Respects For Trish Stratus

Charlotte Flair competed in a dream match at the SummerSlam PPV where she went one on one against former Women’s Champion Trish Stratus and defeated the Hall Of Famer.

While these two had a very intense war of words before their match, after the bout, Stratus said that she is honored to have shared the ring with Flair and Charlotte also made similar comments.

Charlotte Fair was interviewed backstage after the show went off air. Talking about her match, the former Women’s Champion claimed that Trish was the real hero of the night and hoped that their bout sends a positive message:

Bray Wyatt is a complicated individual. This week on RAW, Wyatt’s “Fiend” appeared and gave the Mandible Claw to Kurt Angle in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Wyatt’s softer side then appeared on Smackdown last night in an episode of the FireFly Fun House.

Wyatt offered up the following apology to Angle recently:

He then followed up his Tweet to Kurt Angle with the following:

Bray Wyatt’s FireFly Fun House

Wyatt also recently responded to an online discussion over the nature of his FireFly Fun House. Users on Twitter were discussing Wyatt possibly being in purgatory while the Fiend is able to be on RAW or Smackdown.

“What if within the confines of a suffering mind, several narratives are happening simultaneously? Only one of them is the timeline you live in, but who’s real? Several people, in one vessel living their own reality. Surely one of them is self aware?” Wyatt Tweeted.

“I’ve heard people say crazy, gifted, PTSD, genius, Dissociative Identity Disorder, prodigy. Or perhaps it’s something truly profound that science doesn’t understand yet? Or, maybe I’m lying about everything? Hotel California,” he continued.

• Bray Wyatt Apologizes To and Thanks Mick Foley

Wyatt will face Finn Balor this Sunday at SummerSlam in Toronto.

Bray Wyatt’s Fiend will face Finn Balor at SummerSlam in Toronto on August 11th. Wyatt accepted Balor’s challenge on behalf of the Fiend this week on Smackdown. The night before, Wyatt’s Fiend attacked Mick Foley, giving the legend his own patented Mandible Claw finishing move. Whether Wyatt and the Fiend continue using the most moving forward is unknown, however.

Wyatt issued the following apology and thank you to Foley recently:

Bray Wyatt vs Finn Balor at SummerSlam 2019

• 6 Takeaways From WWE SmackDown (7/23)

This will be the second time Balor and Wyatt have wrestled each other at SummerSlam. Balor defeated Wyatt at the event in 2017. Wyatt had defeated Balor that week on RAW, however. Balor would win the rubber match between the two a month later at the No Mercy 2017 PPV. Those are the only 3 times Wyatt and Balor have wrestled on WWE programming (not including house shows).

Balor and Wyatt have also been in a triple threat match together won by Samoa Joe in 2017. They were both in a 5-way match the next month which was also won by Joe. Balor then won a 5-way Elimination Chamber match they were both involved in from February 2018.

Last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW finally saw the return of Bray Wyatt to live TV. He debuted his new ‘Fiend’ character, assaulting Finn Balor in the process.

This attack seems to be setting up Wyatt’s return feud and, notably, Balor’s exit feud. Finn reportedly requested time off from WWE, and the promotion will probably use the bout between the two as a means of giving it to him. Their match will most likely take place at SummerSlam.

If you thought we might be getting a matchup featuring The Fiend versus The Demon, however, prepare to be disappointed.

A fan asked Dave Meltzer on Twitter whether the Demon will be appearing at SummerSlam. Meltzer’s two-letter response was to the point: No.

At one point we were on the cusp of a match featuring The Demon vs Bray Wyatt’s Sister Abigail persona, but this never came to fruition. It appears that the WWE Universe will simply have to wait a little longer if they want to see the Demon take on a more psychotic Bray Wyatt.

There is a good chance that the matchup will be made official during tonight’s RAW Reunion special.

SummerSlam takes place on August 11th from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.

Bray Wyatt’s “Fiend” made his first appearance in front of a live RAW crowd this past Monday. Wyatt’s new persona took out Finn Balor following a Balor loss to Samoa Joe. Meanwhile, on social media, Wyatt was back to his reformed self. He offered up the following apology to Fandango recently.

Fandango didn’t issue up much of a response:

Braun Strowman and Fandango have only had one single’s match on WWE programming. Strowman defeated Fandango on an episode of Smackdown from Manchester filmed on November 10th, 2015.

Strowman defeated Fandango on 2 subsequent house shows as well.

Bray Wyatt Forgives & Issues Apologies

Wyatt has been quite apologetic since returning to WWE this spring. He has issued apologies to or said he forgives Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and several others.

• Bray Wyatt Forgives John Cena In Deranged Message

“Bad people don’t start off bad, it’s the choices they make,” Wyatt Tweeted at John Cena. “They make these choices because they want to be remembered, envied, worshipped. Intentions always start off just, but then the journey happens…. and the CHOICES you make cement your legacy To be continued…”

• Bray Wyatt Apologizes To Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns

“I wanted to be brave and courageous , but I lost my way. I gave into desires and lost my meaning. Lessons painfully learned. I can be a hero. I will be a hero. Because you need me to be,” Wyatt’s Tweet to Cena continued. “I forgive you @JohnCena. Thank you for the painful lessons #DanceWithMeYouFool”

Bray Wyatt finally returned to Monday Night RAW this past week. He appeared after a match between Samoa Joe and Finn Balor. Wyatt proceeded to attack Balor, nailing him with his Sister Abigail finisher.

He returned in the creepy mask that has become so popular thanks to the Firefly Fun House segments.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray offered some advice to help Wyatt’s latest iteration achieve longevity in WWE.

“The key to this working and having longevity is going to be Bray Wyatt and his willingness to protect the character and every last thing the character does,” he said. “The same way the Undertaker protected the Undertaker. You have to. This is a special character that cannot be overexposed, it can not be allowed to get burnt out. If you pick and choose your spots with Bray Wyatt, just like they did on Monday night, you will have something special.”

Bully Ray continued this juxtaposition between The Fiend character and The Undertaker:

“If I’m Bray Wyatt, I’m looking at a couple of the hurdles that the Undertaker had to get over with that character, that is very similar to the Fiend character, and I’m going to try and avoid those hurdles and pitfalls right now. I want to keep myself special at every turn, that’s what Bray needs to do with his entire act. Nothing can be prostituted, nothing can be given away, nothing should be done with the Fiend that is a throwaway and really didn’t matter. Everything has to mean something, and that’s how you protect it and get longevity out of that.”

Bray Is The Key

Bully Ray compared the Fiend to Doink The Clown if he had been turned up to the “millionth level.”

He then stated that the key to the Fiend’s success is in not allowing it to become stale.

Ray argued the way to combat that risk is to use the character sparingly, and that WWE needs to trust Bray to make the right decisions for the character.

Bray Wyatt returned to WWE television on this week’s Raw. He had a new look, including a slimmed-down physique, striped pants and a creepy new mask, which was first seen on Firefly Fun House.

Wyatt has had some expert help in developing the “Fiend,” however. Famed horror and special effects expert Tom Savini and his team helped create Wyatt’s new look, including the mask worn by the Fiend.

First, however, Wyatt needed designs for the mask to take to both Vince McMahon and to Tom Savini’s team.

Bray Wyatt & Kyle Scarborough Design The Fiend’s Mask

Wyatt sought out tattoo artist Kyle Scarborough to help in the designing of the mask. Scarborough took to Facebook to tell the story of the mask’s creation.

“I’ll never forget the night Bray texted me,” wrote Scarborough. “Beyond excited with this idea he has and needed my help.”

Baker would design the mask based on ideas given to him by Wyatt. After he sent his designs to Wyatt, Scarborough said he was blown away by his response.

“I was told I ‘saved his career,'” though Scarborough would note he does not believe that to be the case.

“Vince McMahon saw my renderings to help give him a visual guide for Bray’s idea and it was greenlit,” he continued.

With the designs greenlit, it was off to Tom Savini’s famous makeup and special effects team to turn the designs into reality.

Tom Savini and Bray Wyatt’s FireFly Fun House

Savini is perhaps best known for his work on Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and several other high-profile horror movies (too many to list). He has worked on several WWE projects in the past as well including for Triple H’s WrestleMania entrances and masks for Luke Harper and Rowan.

Savini commented on the mask through social media and thanked others who were involved in its creation:

Jason Baker on Working With Bray Wyatt

Jason Baker works on Tom Savini’s team and directed the FireFly Fun House episodes. He appeared on the Wrestling Reality podcast to speak about his experience working with Wyatt.

“That man is… what’s that old saying?” Baker asked. “The razor’s edge between genius and insanity? And that man walks that razor’s edge constantly. Very, very smart. Smarter than a lot of people give him credit for. Great to collaborate with. You think you’re gonna throw an idea at him, he comes back with eight. You think you’re gonna hit him up with a piece of trivial knowledge, he’ll hit right back.

Baker continued to talk about his experience working with Wyatt.

“He’ll see your trivial knowledge and then raise ya. He is a unique, unique human being. Its been an absolute pleasure and an honor to get to collaborate with this gentleman — with someone who just puts such a thought process into his craft.”

What do you think of Bray Wyatt’s “Fiend”? Let us know in the comments below…

Bray Wyatt made his long awaited return to WWE television on this week’s episode of Monday night Raw. After the arena lights went dark, “The Fiend” appeared in the ring and laid waste to Finn Balor. Following the show, Wyatt made his first public comments in a series of tweets.

Bray Wyatt’s Fiend

We learned during episodes of Wyatt’s FireFly Fun House that the Fiend is a controlled version of Wyatt’s darkness. He revealed this on episode 4 of the FireFly Fun House when we are first introduced to this part of his character.

Wyatt would later tell his followers that the Fiend is there to protect them.

The Fiend’s Mask

Tattoo artist Kyle A Scarborough was involved in the making of Wyatt’s Fiend mask. He wrote a Facebook post about the mask’s backstory and Wyatt’s involvement.

Bray Wyatt’s Creepy Message To Bobby Lashley

Wyatt also used binary code recently to send a creepy message to Bobby Lashley. He was responding to Lashley’s comments on Twitter when he did so.

• Bray Wyatt Uses Odd Code As Threatening Response To Bobby Lashley

The code translates to “I’m in your home, Bobby.”

After months of waiting, former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt has made his grand return to WWE television. 

He did so on Monday’s episode of RAW in Long Island, NY at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum after Finn Balor lost a singles match to Samoa Joe. Following the match, some creepy music played with the lights flickering until it turned pitch black in the arena. 

This is when fans heard noises in the ring and once the lights came on, Wyatt had Balor and hit his finisher, Sister Abigail, then stood tall in the ring.

Bray Wyatt’s Return

Wyatt had resurfaced on WWE television with the Firefly Fun House segment, which is a twisted take on kids television shows such as Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. 

It had been airing on RAW over the last few months as a re-introduction of his character to the fans after he was off of TV since September. While waiting to make his return to television, Wyatt has got himself in some great shape.

WWE started airing the segments back in April, which has become a hot topic among fans on social media. During a dark stretch in WWE creative, the Wyatt segments have been lauded as one of the few bright spots of Monday Night Raw. The Firefly Fun House series and the reintroduction of Bray Wyatt have been overseen by Bruce Prichard.

In recent weeks, characters from the Firefly Fun House have been appearing inside the arena of WWE shows. It will be interesting to see how the demented kid’s show will be addressed now that Wyatt is back on television. Was it all a figment of Wyatt’s troubled mind, or something else entirely?

• Bray Wyatt Makes First Comments Since Returning On RAW

Bray Wyatt had an interesting exchange with Bobby Lashley on Twitter that ended in a creepy message that was in code. 

It all started when a fan tweeted Lashley telling him that he couldn’t be more of a lame heavyweight with no personality, which led to the fan later tagging Wyatt and commented on his upcoming return.

Lashley responded by stating that Wyatt knows where to find him once Wyatt is done playing with his puppets. 

Wyatt responded with a cryptic message and listed a bunch of numbers. This caught Lashley off guard and saw him tweet with a GIF from Pulp Fiction. By using a binary code converter, Wyatt’s Binary text converts to, “I am in your home Bobby.” You can see their tweets here: 

It appears that WWE fans are getting closer to seeing the in-ring return of the former WWE Champion.

Wyatt has resurfaced on WWE television with the Firefly Fun House segment, which is a twisted take on kids television shows such as Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, that has been airing on RAW over the last few months as a re-introduction of his character to the fans after he was off of TV since September.

Monday’s episode of WWE RAW is building to be an interesting show. While the company has announced two big main events, there are some notable names currently backstage at the TV event that haven’t been advertised. 

Bray Wyatt and NXT Tag Team Champions The Street Profits are all reportedly backstage. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on if these stars will appear on the show.

Wyatt has been backstage at several recent WWE shows, but has yet to appeared on-camera. His last in-person WWE television appearance took place a year ago.

Of course, Wyatt’s latest WWE television appearances have been on the eerie Fire Fly Funhouse, which concluded last month. Ahead of Bray Wyatt’s official return, we’ve seen characters from the Firefly Funhouse at random times backstage.

Regarding the Street Profits, NXT’s reigning tag team champions made their main roster debut last week on RAW in backstage segments but did not appear in front of the crowd.

• WWE Accidentally Mentions AEW While Hyping the Street Profits’ RAW Debut

WWE holds this show in Newark, NJ at the Prudential Arena and will be the go-home show for Extreme Rules for the RAW roster. The company is loading up this show as two matches have already been announced.

Bray Wyatt and John Cena have a long and storied history against each other. Wyatt even won the WWE Championship from John Cena at Elimination Chamber 2017 (in a chamber match). Wyatt took to Twitter recently to say he forgives Cena for the “painful lessons” that Cena taught him.

Moments before posting the message to John Cena, however, Wyatt tweeted out the following [ominous] message:

“Bad people don’t start off bad, it’s the choices they make. They make these choices because they want to be remembered, envied, worshipped. Intentions always start off just, but then the journey happens…. and the CHOICES you make cement your legacy To be continued…”

He then addressed the following tweet to John Cena:

“I wanted to be brave and courageous , but I lost my way. I gave into desires and lost my meaning. Lessons painfully learned. I can be a hero. I will be a hero. Because you need me to be. I forgive you @JohnCena. Thank you for the painful lessons #DanceWithMeYouFool”

Bray Wyatt vs John Cena

Wyatt and Cena have wrestled against each other 8 times on WWE programming (i.e not including house shows). Cena leads the all-time head-to-head series 4-to-3 with one 6-pack challenge match going to Dolph Ziggler.

They have wrestled 4 singles match against each other on WWE programming, all of which occurred in 2014. Cena holds the edge in the one-on-one series 3-1. Cena defeated Wyatt at WrestleMania 30 but then Wyatt defeated Cena in a steel cage at Extreme Rules 2014. The last two singles matches went to Cena as well, including a Last Man Standing match the next month at Payback and a victory on RAW that August.

Not including Royal Rumbles, Wyatt and Cena have met four times in multi-person matches. Cena won the MITB match for the world title in 2014 and Ziggler won a 6-pack challenge they were both in from the July 26th, 2017 Smackdown. Wyatt won the Elimination Chamber match in 2017 as referenced above and then also won a triple threat WWE title match against Cena and AJ Styles from the February 14th, 2017 Smackdown.

Braun Strowman gave high praise to former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt for his Firefly Funhouse segments during a recent interview with Chad Dukes where he shared the backstage reaction to these segments. 

This interview was done to promote WWE’s return to Washington D.C. for a live event on Saturday, July 6. This is where he spoke highly of Wyatt and these segments by noting that he thinks it’s awesome. 

“It’s a monitor sellout in the back every week for all the boys and stuff, we crowd around the monitor just to see what shenanigans and ridiculousness he comes up with next.” 

Strowman would continue by noting that Wyatt thinks outside of the box and has this ‘it’ that no one else has and you can see it coming across with the Firefly Funhouse.”It is so unbelievably entertaining,” Strowman said.

These segments are a twisted take on kids television shows such as Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, that has been airing on RAW over the last few months as a re-introduction of his character to the fans after he was off of TV since September. 

Strowman was introduced to fans on the main roster when he was added to The Wyatt Family that included Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan years ago. 

Since undergoing a personality change of sorts, Bray Wyatt has been issuing several apologies. Now the host of the FireFly Fun House, Wyatt has issued apologies to the Shield, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, and others.

In his most recently public apology, Wyatt posted the following to the Rock:

The Rock On Bray Wyatt

The Rock defeated Wyatt family member Rowan at WrestleMania 32. He posted the following in regards to that night:

Bray Wyatt’s FireFly Fun House Mysteries

Wyatt’s new persona has fans trying to guess what exactly is going on with his FireFly Fun House. New episodes of the segment did not air this week but characters from the show did appear on both RAW and Smackdown.

On Smackdown, Huskus and Ramblin Rabbit were both seen in the background of backstage segments.

• Firefly Fun House Character Sightings Continue On SmackDown

Earlier this week on RAW, Abby the Witch and Mercy the Buzzard appeared in the background of backstage segments as well.

• Firefly Fun House Characters Creep Into This Week’s WWE RAW

Aleister Black, who was recently separated from Ricochet as part of a tag team, has not been seen in the ring for a couple of months. Where he is seen though, is in some ominous vignettes airing on SmackDown Live.

In these vignettes, Black asks for someone to step up and challenge him by “knocking on his door”, and on this week’s SmackDown Live, someone finally answered Black’s pleadings.

In the video, Black talks about how frustrated he is because seemingly no one has the guts to face them. And that’s exactly when we hear a knock on the door – and the vignette ends on a cliffhanger, without revealing who it was.

The internet has been speculating who Black’s opponent could be. One fan theory that’s making the rounds on the net suggests that the Firefly Fun House’s character sightings on the same episode of SmackDown are related and the person who knocked could be Bray Wyatt.

On the other hand, Twitter account WrestleVotes, which has broken some stories in the past says that Black is scheduled to work Extreme Rules and WWE has decided that his opponent will be Cesaro. We would like to remind our readers to take this report as a rumor as WrestleVotes themselves are saying that they “can’t 100% confirm” Black’s opponent. Also, Cesaro is on Raw, but so was Black until he was re-drafted to SmackDown due to his real-life wife Zelina Vega being drafted there.

The opponent will most likely be revealed next week and it will be interesting to see who it ends up being.
