#2 Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House persona in WWE may no longer coexist with The Fiend

Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House segments occurred before The Fiend's WWE debut. While The Fiend is a ruthless monster who rarely speaks, Wyatt's Firefly Fun House persona thrives in promos.

This optimistic persona acts as the bridge between The Fiend and the WWE Universe. But unlike The Fiend, Fun House Wyatt isn't exactly a supernatural entity himself.

Wyatt's naive, harmless demeanor is a stark contrast to The Fiend's brutal personality. With that in mind, fans will understand if Wyatt's evil alter ego has survived, even after he was set on fire by Randy Orton. But if The Fiend made it through the fire, can the same be said for his Firefly Fun House counterpart? Probably not.

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently pitched a similar outcome during an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo:

"I would do so much intricate storytelling here. Because that’s what you could do with Bray. We’ve got to come out of this. This guy really had to be burned in a fire. He really had to be disfigured. But much to our surprise, The Fiend is not Bray, he’s a completely seperate character! And it never was Bray!"

If The Fiend and Bray Wyatt were two separate entities, the latter would still have hosted the Firefly Fun House segments in the former's absence.

It is possible that the fire released The Fiend from the shackles of being tied to his jovial counterpart. After all, fire is often known to be a symbol of purity in religion and literature. It could be fascinating to see WWE play with this idea.
