Over the two nights of WrestleMania 36, WWE managed to put together one of the most memorable events of all time. And despite the show being held behind closed doors, the WWE Universe will surely remember this year's WrestleMania for a very long time.
Two of the standout matches from this year's WrestleMania 36 were the two first-time-ever matches that took place over Night 1 and Night 2 featuring The Undertaker, AJ Styles, John Cena, and Bray Wyatt.
As we witnessed on Night 1, The Undertaker brought back his 'American Badass' persona and had an all-out brawl against AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match in the main event of the first night. 'Taker, who despite having the numbers against him, took down The OC all by himself and successfully defeated Styles, eventually "burying" the latter.
The following night saw the in-ring return of John Cena, as the 16-time WWE World Champion faced 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt in the first-ever Firefly Fun House Match. It was a match that was nothing short of bizarre but portrayed the many stages of both Cena and Wyatt's careers. By the end of it all, it was Wyatt who pursued revenge on the Leader of The Cenation.
With WWE presenting us cinematic genius over the two nights of WrestleMania, fans have been pretty complimentary of both the Boneyard and the Firefly Fun House match. From here on, the question remains, will we witness more of these matches in the future?
That being said, here are five dream Boneyard and Firefly Fun House Matches that WWE needs to book in the future.
#5 Braun Strowman vs Bray Wyatt - Firefly Fun House Match
At WrestleMania 36, Braun Strowman won the WWE Universal Championship when he defeated Goldberg and handed him a crushing loss. With Strowman now being in his first reign as a World Champion in WWE, it remains to be seen who steps up as the first challenger to 'The Monster Among Men'.
The interesting point, however, is the fact that Bray Wyatt himself has never vouched for his rematch clause for the Universal Championship after initially losing the title to Goldberg at Super ShowDown.
Both Strowman and Wyatt have a long history with each other, similar to what Cena had with the latter. If done right, 'The Fiend' could possibly focus on elements such as his and Strowman's time together in The Wyatt Family, if the former hopes to win back the Universal Title once again.
#4 Aleister Black vs The Undertaker - Boneyard Match
There is no doubting the fact that the WWE Universe has been wanting to witness a clash between Aleister Black and The Undertaker for quite some time now. Ever since making his WWE debut, Black has established himself as one of the most popular Superstars on the main roster. And, WWE themselves have done quite an amazing job in protecting Black, as well.
Considering the character that Aleister Black portrays on WWE TV, fans have been patiently waiting for a clash (or even an unholy alliance) between 'The Dutch Destroyer' and 'The Phenom' before The Undertaker eventually calls it a day for good.
However, at WrestleMania, 'Taker did prove that the fact there are still a few fights left in him. While I believe that WWE should save the Boneyard Match for special occasions, a clash between 'Taker and Black under those circumstances definitely will be the right call.
Black, for one, also had a WrestleMania moment this year, as he finished off Bobby Lashley in traditional Aleister Black fashion and while we wait for WWE to push the former NXT Champion into further stardom, a match between him and Undertaker is inevitable.
#3 Jeff Hardy vs Bray Wyatt - Firefly Fun House Match
Speaking of cinematic matches, if there's one man who is no stranger to bouts like these, it's definitely the younger Hardy brother. Having already competed in the infamous Final Deletion on Impact Wrestling, Jeff Hardy is quite familiar with matches of such stipulation.
Now, let's discuss the prospect of a potential Firefly Fun House Match between Hardy and Wyatt. With Hardy also having shared the stage with the latter in the Ultimate Deletion on RAW, we could expect 'The Fiend' to exploit certain elements throughout this match.
Considering WWE would be willing to take things to a personal level, having 'The Fiend' point out and utilize Hardy's issues in real life would certainly be a prominent way to unfold the entire story.
It is also to be noted that Wyatt was the former tag team partner of Matt Hardy and having won the Tag Team Titles with 'The Broken One', Wyatt also has a few similarities with Jeff Hardy, as well.
With Hardy recently making his return to WWE TV and also joining the same brand as Wyatt, it remains to be seen what plans WWE has in store for the former WWE Champion. A feud against 'The Fiend' would surely be a solid way to start-off things for 'The Enigmatic One'.
#2 Edge vs The Undertaker - Boneyard Match
At WrestleMania 36, Edge competed in his first singles match in nine years, as he defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match. Since making his return to WWE at this year's Royal Rumble, Edge engaged himself in a feud with his former tag team partner. However, now that all this is said and done, 'The Rated R-Superstar' could move on towards other things.
Sure, WWE will have to take it slow with Edge and make sure they protect him and his momentum at all costs. And, the interesting part from here on is to see what plans the company has in store for the Hall of Famer.
Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is, Edge's rivalry with The Undertaker from almost a decade ago remains to be one of the most iconic feuds in WWE history. And considering how well Edge handled himself in the Last Man Standing stipulation for his first singles match since returning, a Boneyard Match between him and 'The Phenom' could do wonders in the future.
The two men have previously faced each other inside the gruesome Hell in a Cell and sith both men technically being on the Red brand of Monday Night RAW, a match between the pair under the Boneyard stipulation would surely get the WWE Universe invested.
#1 Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt - Firefly Fun House Match
If there's one thing that I've learned from the inaugural Firefly Fun House Match, it's the fact that we should totally expect Bray Wyatt to take things to a personal level under his own rules.
During his clash against John Cena at WrestleMania, we did witness Wyatt hinting at a few subtle references, including a heel turn from Cena that fans have been wanting to see while the latter was in the prime stages of his career.
Similar to his relationship with John Cena, Wyatt also has a complex history with Daniel Bryan. Throwback to a few years ago, Wyatt and Bryan were involved in one of the most iconic rivalries of all-time, which saw the latter join The Wyatt Family, as well.
However, all of that eventually led to Bryan turning his back on The Wyatts and bringing back 'The Yes Movement' when both he and Wyatt were locked inside of a Steel Cage on RAW. On this occasion, if 'The Fiend' is to exploit Bryan's past, then he could easily refer to their time together in The Wyatt Family, the latter's unfortunate retirement, and his eventual return to in-ring competition, as well.
The two even recently shared the ring when Bryan challenged 'The Fiend' for the Universal Championship. And personally, if there's one man I want to see step into the Firefly Fun House, it definitely has to be Daniel Bryan.
