With just a few days to go for the final pay-per-view of the year, WWE TLC 2020, a unique stipulation has been announced for the scheduled match between 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton at the show. As announced by the company, the two will compete in the first-ever Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 this Sunday.
This massive announcement has certainly raised the stakes further and has raised the question among the WWE Universe - 'What is a Firefly Inferno match?' Well, considering the creative genius of Bray Wyatt, it is surely going to be a treat for the fans and hopefully 'sports entertain' everyone.
In this article, let's take a look at five things that could happen in the Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 and predict a few unique ways that the match could actually mean. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts.
#5 Firefly Inferno match is a cinematic match with the Firefly Fun House on fire
It was earlier this year at WrestleMania 36 where Bray Wyatt took on and defeated John Cena in a Firefly Fun House match. The bizarre cinematic match divided the fans into three categories - one who loved it, another who hated it, and the last one who were left wondering what they just saw.
Irrespective of whichever category you, dear reader, may fall into, it was something unique and highly creative. Now, the Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 could very well be a twisted version of the Firefly Fun House match that we saw earlier this year.
The main theme of a traditional Inferno match is that the ring is set on fire. So, can a Firefly Inferno match see The Fiend and Randy Orton compete inside the Firefly Fun House, which itself is set on fire? How WWE produces and presents such a match will be interesting to see, but they do have the expertise and budget required to pull off such a thing.
#4 The puppets surround the 'ring of fire' in the Firefly Inferno match
Throughout WWE history, the fans have witnessed the Inferno match four times. It was at SummerSlam 2013 where Bray Wyatt competed against Kane in a Ring of Fire match - similar to the Inferno match, only with all the PG constraints as the match was won via pinfall rather than putting the opponent on fire. One has to wonder whether the Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 be something similar?
This past week on Monday Night RAW, we saw Bray Wyatt bring all the puppets to the ring in what was a 'Field trip'. All these puppets have played a very significant role in the development of this new persona of Bray Wyatt. Just like they were surrounding the ring on RAW, could they do the same this Sunday by surrounding the ring, which is set on fire?
With there being no live audience, WWE has so much freedom to try a lot of things, especially with the gimmick of Bray Wyatt. Maybe they can use holograms of monstrous versions of the puppets to interfere in the match.
#3 Firefly Inferno match turns out to be a unique combination of a bunch of stipulation matches
The announcement of the first-ever Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 has got everyone talking as to what exactly will the match be. Well, one certain idea could be to combine a bunch of stipulation matches and present something very creative this Sunday.
Last week on RAW, we saw how Randy Orton tricked Bray Wyatt, threw him in a box, and set it on fire. However, the plan backfired as The Fiend emerged from the box and applied the Mandible Claw on Orton. Could this segment have been an indication of what is to come in the Firefly Inferno match this Sunday?
Imagine a unique combination of the Firefly Fun House match, the Inferno match, and the Casket match. The motive of the Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020 could be to put your opponent in a casket and set it on fire. As bizarre as it sounds, this could be a thrilling match with all the special effects and a shocking ending.
#2 Randy Orton sets The Fiend on fire in the Firefly Inferno match
A traditional Inferno match is one of the most dangerous stipulation types in WWE history. The only way to win that match is to set your opponent on fire. However, as mentioned earlier, WWE has presented a more PG-friendly version of the match in 2013. But could they go back to the hardcore ways this Sunday at WWE TLC 2020 in the Firefly Inferno match?
If WWE intends to present it as a cinematic match, there are several creative options as to how the match could end. One of them could see Randy Orton set The Fiend on fire in what would surely be a bizarre visual. There are several ways the storyline can progress if Orton wins the Firefly Inferno match in this manner.
The feud between Randy Orton and this new version of Bray Wyatt is too good to just be wrapped up with just one match, that too at a pay-per-view like TLC. If Randy Orton does set The Fiend on fire, it will be interesting to see how The Fiend or even Bray Wyatt return? Could this possibly lead to the unmasking of The Fiend and him unleashing hell upon Orton? This could set-up a massive rematch between the two at Royal Rumble 2021.
#1 Alexa Bliss returns in the Firefly Inferno match as Sister Abigail
One of the complaints about the feud between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt in the last couple of weeks has been the absence of Alexa Bliss. While it is known that she is busy filming a show in LA, her absence after Randy Orton's massive tease of her being The Fiend's weakness hurts the storytelling. But could she return at WWE TLC in the Firefly Inferno match?
There have been several theories of what exactly Alexa Bliss is doing alongside The Fiend. One of the most common beliefs is that she represents Sister Abigail in some way. It was more than three years ago when Randy Orton burned down The Wyatt Family compound and with it, the grave of Sister Abigail.
In the Firefly Inferno match at WWE TLC 2020, one of the most intriguing thing that could happen is the return of Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigail to take revenge for what Orton did to her all those years ago. This would certainly add yet another layer to the character of Bray Wyatt and would explain, in a way, why Bliss could actually be the weakness as well as the strength of The Fiend.
