WrestleMania 36 featured two cinematic-style matches - the first of which was a 'Boneyard match' between The Undertaker and AJ Styles, while the second one saw Bray Wyatt face John Cena in a 'Firefly Fun House match'.

The Boneyard match received heaps of praise, with fans hailing it as the most unique and incredible WrestleMania main event of all time. With regards to the Firefly Fun House, there was some confusion, especially since it didn't feel like an actual match.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

It was more of a segment taking John Cena through his past and according to Tom Colohue on Dropkick DiSKussions, the match wasn't as well recieved backstage:

On the other side, John Cena and Bray Wyatt sat down. Cena made some suggestions, basically, Bray Wyatt said this is all of the story. It hasn't been well-received backstage as the Boneyard match has been.

He said that there's a low chance of WWE going with the Firefly Fun House match again:

Bray Wyatt is very unlikely to do many more Firefly Fun House matches. His match wasn't so well-received backstage.

We hope this isn't true because the "match" was good in its own right, but it felt a bit odd advertising it as a contest. WWE should revisit the concept later with a few tweaks.
