John Cena vs Bray Wyatt Firefly Funhouse Match:
As I had mentioned, the previous boneyard match borrowed from a lot of used concepts before but it's most recent example was Matt Hardy's Total Nonstop Deletion matches held inside of his compound and the last time a match like that happened, Bray Wyatt was on Matt Hardy's losing end and even before that he was victorious in a House Of Horrors match against Randy Orton where he battled inside of an old rundown home near the swamp. So I was under the impression that it would be something like that, but my expectations had been subverted because this match not only happened inside of the ring but also happened inside of the mind, John Cena's mind. Bray Wyatt got in the brain of John Cena all the way back to his debut match and we see Cena in his current shape reenter the ring in his classic debut attire of wrestling trunks and boots as opposed to his famous jorts and sneakers. Wyatt takes it to himself to relive that debut moment with Cena but dodges all of the attacks to embarass Cena. eventually we got Cena return to his Doctor Of Thuganomics character to only throw insults in Bray's direction but Bray uses yet another psychological attack to show Cena that it's only his own coverup for his own embarrassments and woes. Now for more context, 6 years ago at Wrestlemania 30, John Cena and Bray Wyatt faced off in a regular match but Bray had a goal in this match for John Cena to embrace his violent side because Cena is often the definition of heroism in pro wrestling along with many like El Santo, Hulk Hogan, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kenta Kobashi, Mitsuharu Misawa, Rey Mysterio, and Shawn Michaels. Inside of this psychological match they are both brought to the moment at Wrestlemania 30 where Wyatt prompted Cena to strike him in the head with a steel chair but in the past Cena did not so in this moment Bray Wyatt insists that Cena corrects his mistake which he does take a swing for but Bray Wyatt becomes his recent alter-ego The Fiend who's a sinister monster who brings nightmares. I think what that meant was when John Cena channeled his violence he became his own Fiend and defeated himself.
