For weeks now, Bray Wyatt's 'Firefly Fun House' vignettes have drawn tremendous amounts of attention from pro-wrestling fans all over social media.

Ad

Bray Wyatt has created a universe where the key answers to the most important questions are all hidden in cryptic clues or in plain sight instead. What is the meaning behind Firefly Fun House? What happened to Bray Wyatt? Why is all of this happening in the first place?

Ad

There are numerous fan theories being posted all across social media regarding this topic, but there is one particular theory that stands out from the rest.

Ad

The latest episode (and possibly the last one) of Firefly Fun House (Fear is Power in the "Firefly Fun House") has revealed its biggest and darkest secret yet, and we might finally have an answer to the biggest mystery regarding these vignettes.

#5 The Biggest Secret: It all takes place inside Bray Wyatt's head

The real Bray Wyatt might have been inside an abandoned mental facility this whole time

As you can see above, the screenshots from the latest episode of Firefly Fun House represent an abandoned mental facility.

These pictures hint towards a very likely possibility that the real Bray Wyatt is somewhere inside this abandoned asylum. In further slides, we will explore the reasons behind why he ended up there in the first place, but as of right now, it is important that we establish this as a fact which was hinted at in previous Firefly Fun House episodes as well.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter was actually pretty close to the real answer quite early on, as a PTSD therapist had reached out to him to confirm that many of the references being used in these segments actually stem from PTSD therapy in the first place.

The therapist believed that Wyatt was being haunted by a tragic past while still being reformed to some extent.

We will take a look at some more examples regarding this explanation in the next few slides.

#4 Why Bray Wyatt ends up in an abandoned mental facility in the first place

Bray Wyatt's tragic past haunts him to even this day

Bray Wyatt is haunted by a tragic past: At some point in his career, The Wyatt Family left The Eater of Worlds on his own, and that particular plot point portrayed Wyatt as a failed leader with a false purpose.

Even Randy Orton betrayed him at some point, and this saga diminished Wyatt's status even further. More importantly, Orton destroyed The Wyatt Family compound and Sister Abigail's grave as well, which left The Eater of Worlds broken in defeat.

Bray Wyatt's bizarre feud with Matt Hardy ended with Wyatt being dumped into the 'Lake of Reincarnation'. After that point, it almost seemed as if Bray Wyatt's character lost its dark essence in the first place. He started teaming up with Matt Hardy as babyfaces, but even that was stripped away from him later on.

Basically, Bray Wyatt lost everything in the end, and that is the reason as to why he would end up in an abandoned mental facility, to begin with.

Next, we take a look at what the Firefly Fun House segments symbolize.

#3 The meaning of 'Firefly Fun House' explained

What does it all mean?

If you re-watch all the Firefly Fun House vignettes from the beginning, but this time around, keep in mind that 'it all takes place inside Bray Wyatt's head', I promise that the entire saga will make more sense than you can imagine right now.

The character's insecurities are at full display in each and every Firefly Fun House episode.

The Vince McMahon puppet stands as a constant reminder for Wyatt to get in shape when he was wrestling as 'Husky Harris' (symbolized by the puppet known as 'Huskus The Pig Boy'). Mercy The Buzzard probably represents a figure called Dr. Mercy (inspired by WWF Superstar Waylon Mercy), who treated Wyatt in the asylum itself, as many fans have previously pointed out.

Abby The Witch signifies Sister Abigail, and that puppet is immediately classified as a 'bully'. On top of that, the Fun House immediately disowns Wyatt's 'Eater of the Worlds' persona, which suggests how much the character himself has grown to hate that gimmick in his mind.

Ramblin' Rabbit represents the 'good side' of Bray Wyatt's character, but that puppet eventually loses its battle against the greater evil known as 'The Fiend' after being bludgeoned with a hammer inside the Firefly Fun House.

This brings us to a big question that will be explained in the next slide: "Who/What is The Fiend?"

#2 The Fiend's identity explained: More complex than previously imagined

Who/What is The Fiend?
Ad

There was a very important quote from the latest episode of Firefly Fun House which almost broke the fourth wall and gave away the entire mystery behind these vignettes:

"You know, our minds, they're just like gardens. And all yours needs is a little bit of water, a little bit of sunshine, and it'll make your ideas grow."

This is what Bray Wyatt expresses while looking straight into the camera. But at this point, if you haven't figured it out already, then let me explain: The Firefly Fun House version of Bray Wyatt is NOT the real Bray Wyatt.

As a matter of fact, the children's TV Show facade put on by who we thought was Bray Wyatt all along is actually a part of 'The Fiend'.

Read the above-highlighted quote again.

You will notice that these lines are actually meant for the REAL Bray Wyatt, who is supposedly located inside an abandoned mental asylum. Perhaps the biggest twist from these segments is that the Firefly Fun House vignettes are actually directed towards the REAL Bray Wyatt (since it all takes place inside his head), and not us (the viewer).

The "Join Us" and "Let Me In" statements are essentially ploys set in motion by 'The Fiend' for Bray Wyatt to accept his darkest side and live with it. Therefore, both the "children's TV Show host" and the "masked monster" are part of Wyatt's most evil figment of imagination known as 'The Fiend'.

But what happens at the very end of the latest (and possibly the last) edition of Firefly Fun House?

#1 The ending of the latest (and possibly the last) edition of Firefly Fun House explained

Towards the latter half of the latest edition of Firefly Fun House, we see a flurry of hypnotic images (discussed earlier) along with clips from previous vignettes as well.

We also keep hearing different versions of the 'Muscle Man Dance' song as the radio frequency keeps changing and more images start flashing on the screen.

The idea of 'changing frequencies' can be compared with Bray Wyatt constantly trying to rid himself of thoughts regarding The Fiend. But unfortunately, it does not matter how much he tries to do so, because the song keeps playing constantly (in different styles) even when the frequency keeps alternating back and forth between different radio stations.

Eventually, The Fiend takes over Bray Wyatt's mind, and states: "Erase Your Mind". This is the point where Bray Wyatt cannot suppress this greater evil any longer.

After all, this evil stems from Bray Wyatt's tragic past, and therefore, The Fiend vanishes away from the Fun House at the end. This means that Bray Wyatt had no choice but to let The Fiend become a part of his demented personality.

Also, if you look at the footage carefully towards the very end, it seems like that was the first time where the TV inside Firefly Fun House was actually working. This was probably a slight nod which indicated that The Fiend has escaped the Fun House (Wyatt's imagination) and it will now be making an appearance on our Television screens very soon.

If this is true, then Bray Wyatt/The Fiend is most likely to re-debut on next week's RAW or SmackDown Live episodes, or he might make an appearance at this Sunday's WWE Stomping Grounds Pay-Per-View instead.

In conclusion, I would say that the amount of detailing and clever writing (and presentation) that went into these segments is something you would expect to see in a great movie or a TV show, and this is why the Firefly Fun House segments are easily one of the best things to originate from professional wrestling this decade.
