5 reasons why John Cena accepted 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt's WrestleMania 36 challenge

#4. To repay the favor from WrestleMania XXX

A match Bray Wyatt should have won

Bray Wyatt's run as The Eater of Worlds saw him develop a fantastic captivating character that got over with the WWE Universe quite easily. His charisma was evident and WWE rewarded him at WrestleMania 30 with a big match against John Cena.

It was the face of the company (a year and a half before he became a part-timer) vs the future and the consensus was that Bray Wyatt should have won - except he didn't. It was a big booking mistake that would repeat itself on multiple occasions as we saw Wyatt always lose the big matches when he had an incredible amount of momentum going behind him.

The same has been argued for his recent loss to Goldberg but a match against Cena at WrestleMania 36 means that there's still hope. John Cena has a lot of respect for Wyatt as a competitor and performer and that was evident in early 2017 when he lost the title to him at Elimination Chamber and then put him over two days later in a Triple threat match.

This might be Cena's way of repaying a favor 6 years later.
