John Cena & Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House Match Was An Acid Trip

John Cena and Bray Wyatt deserve Oscars for their performances at WrestleMania 36.

John Cena and Bray Wyatt were tasked with putting on a show at WrestleMania 36 and they didn't disappoint as they offered up perhaps one of the most entertaining matches we have ever seen. Of course, due to the Coronavirus, there were no fans at Wrestlemania 36. This meant the WWE needed to get creative as a way to supplement fan excitement. Well, Wyatt did exactly that as he helped orchestrate the Firefly Fun House match, starring his signature character, The Fiend.

This match had numerous callbacks to Cena's past, including his infamous character, the Doctor of Thuganomics. The fight was more of a production than anything else as there were multiple sets and a whole lot of antics from both wrestlers. It was easily the closest thing the WWE has done to a full-on acid trip.

In the end, Wyatt came away with the victory although thanks to all of the effects and production value, the results were a tad ambiguous, and certainly secondary to what we had all witnessed. Following this match, the WWE received widespread praise from fans who felt like they took a huge risk that paid off immensely.

All things considered, this was a great event and the WWE put on a wild show despite the unfortunate circumstances.

WWE’s Goldberg Ruined Macaulay Culkin’s Wrestlemania Plans

WWE Universal Champion Goldberg issues a response to Macaulay Culkin following the actor's criticism of his title victory.

The results of WWE's Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia has infuriated professional wrestling fans across the globe, including longtime WWE supporter Macaulay Culkin. Following Thursday's main event, during which 53-year old Goldberg defeated WWE Universal Champion "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in a matter of minutes, Culkin took to twitter to express his frustration - just the way many other WWE fans did.

In fact, The Culkster was so annoyed with Goldberg's victory that he has cancelled his trip to Tampa Bay for Wrestlemania 36. Absolutely devastating.

Goldberg caught wind of Culkin's reaction to his match against Wyatt and responded with the following tweet, "@IncredibleCulk duly noted dork [thumbs up emoji] [pouting face emoji]."

Although some wrestling fans suspected that Culkin was just joking around about skipping Wrestlemania, he insists that he will not be among those travelling to Tampa for "The Show of Shows" on April 5th. Check out Culkin's reaction to the main event, as well as the champ's response, in the tweets embedded below.

As it stands, rumors suggest that Goldberg will put the WWE Universal title on the line against Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania, while The Fiend is expected to do battle with John Cena.

We'll likely learn more on Friday's edition of SmackDown as both Goldberg and Cena are scheduled to appear at the TD Garden in Boston.

Goldberg’s Rumored Opponent For WWE Super ShowDown Revealed

Looks like Goldberg is in for a rude awakening.

Earlier this week the WWE formally announced that Goldberg would be making his return to SmackDown Live on, February 7th to set the stage for his next match. That match will reportedly take place at WWE's upcoming "Super ShowDown" event at International Arena at The Boulevard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

We'll definitively learn "Who's Next?" during tonight's episode of SmackDown, but reports are already surfacing that the man who will face Goldberg in Saudi Arabia is not a man at all. According to Brad Shepard of Pro Sports Extra, WWE Universal Champion "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt will be the one to answer Goldberg's call.

The Fiend has attacked several professional wrestling legends during his rise to becoming Universal Champion, including Mick Foley, Kane and Jerry The King Lawler, so it wouldn't be out of character for him to lash out at Goldberg. Wyatt just recently defeated Daniel Bryan in a brutal Strap Match at the Royal Rumble and it remains to be seen who will challenge him for the title at Wrestlemania 36 in April, but in the meantime it looks as though he'll go one-on-one with Goldberg in Saudi Arabia.

The last time the WWE held a "Super ShowDown" event, Goldberg squared up with The Undertaker for the first time ever, which ended up being a complete dumpster fire filled with blown spots and botches that had wrestling fans pleading for both wrestling legends to retire for good. In spite of that cringeworthy bout, Goldberg later returned for a match at SummerSlam, where he squashed Dolph Ziggler.

The 53-year old legend will make his first appearance since then tonight and, if the rumors are true, we can all expect the lights to go out and The Fiend to appear.
