The longest-running weekly episodic show in history, Monday Night RAW, came live to us from the Pepsi Center in Denver yesterday as WWE hosted the second night of the 2019 Draft. Throughout the night, both RAW and SmackDown "War Rooms" took turns choosing the Superstars they wanted to become a part of their respective roster.
In a night that was build around the draft rounds, there was another sub-story running from the beginning of the show. In the opening hour of RAW, the Universal Champion Seth Rollins was interviewed backstage about the attacks from The Fiend, to which the BeastSlayer replied with the words "I've been trying to move forward with my life, and The Fiend has just been picking his spots. That ends tonight, because tonight, I'm going Fiend hunting."
Later, it was announced that Rollins will defend his Universal Title against "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt at the upcoming Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
The night ended with what was one of the most different episodes of Firefly Fun House. It saw Rollins invade it and literally burn it down. But as always, there was a lot more that was secretly conveyed to us by the genius mind of Bray Wyatt during the short segment. So let's dive right into it and try to uncover the hidden secrets.
#5 The Fiend never forgets
One of the biggest talking points coming out of the first night of the draft was Bray Wyatt being moved to SmackDown. The entire WWE Universe was confused with the storyline, as even after being on a different roster, The Fiend attacked Rollins during the opening match on SmackDown.
Now the question remains - what does the sinister creature have in mind? Turns out, Bray Wyatt gave us a short and simple answer to that during the Firefly Fun House segment, tonight as he mentioned that The Fiend never forgets.
Rollins' actions inside Hell in a Cell were not something that The Fiend has forgotten and it would be interesting to see how the Universal Champion will survive his second war with this alter ego of Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel.
#4 WWE acknowledges the fan outburst after that Hell in a Cell finish
The ending of the Universal Championship Hell in a Cell match last week was widely considered by many fans as one of the worst match endings in recent memory, and the fans were absolutely livid with the booking decision made.
It was not long ago when Seth Rollins was one of the most cheered babyfaces on the roster, but a lot of his fans have turned against him after that ending, with some even booing him badly. Things got worse when WWE decided to ignore the fallout on the following RAW.
Well, Bray Wyatt very subtly addressed this sensitive issue during the Firefly Fun House episode tonight through the following lines:
Seth, I saw you! You know, people say really mean things about you, but I think, you are strong.
This seemed to be an attempt from WWE to acknowledge the massive fan outburst after their Hell in a Cell match. While I believe that it's wrong to blame Rollins for this as he was just following the higher orders, we all know the major impacts crowd outbursts have had on WWE programming in the past.
Do you think WWE will correct their mistake by putting the title on Bray Wyatt later this month?
#3 Are the puppets unleashed now?
The Firefly Fun House is one of the most creative things to ever take place in WWE. One of the most important parts of this Universe has been the puppets that we've become so familiar with. Abby the Witch, Rambling Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, and Huskus the Pig Boy have all played an important role in furthering the story inside the Fun House.
One of the biggest theories that have been doing rounds ever since the Firefly Fun House segments started is that the puppets will eventually come to life and joining Wyatt to form a dominant new version of Wyatt Family.
Another interesting sub-story in the Fun House is that of poor Ramblin' Rabbit, who has been slaughtered numerous times in the past but always comes back somehow. After tonight's episode, Wyatt took to Twitter to inform us that Ramblin' Rabbit was taken from us in tonight's ruthless attack by Seth Rollins.
Well, if the history is to go by, there is a high chance that he may return next week, but where will he go now that his home has been burnt down? During the episode tonight, when Rollins was destroying the Fun House, one could hear the puppets shouting in the background "Seth please don't do this!" and "What have you done?"
With no home to go, are the puppets unleashed now? We've previously seen them appear backstage peeking on wrestlers. Let's keep our eyes open for any such instances in the upcoming shows.
#2 This could have been the last episode of Firefly Fun House
One of the biggest questions that we were left with after the Universal Champion invaded the Firefly Fun House and destroyed it was "What's next?" The entire invading and burning down the home of Bray Wyatt has been a throwback to the 2017 rivalry between the former self of Bray and Randy Orton, where the Viper similarly burned down the Wyatt Family Compound.
Remember when Ramblin' Rabbit was about to reveal the secret inside the Firefly Fun House, only to be stomped by a giant hammer from Bray Wyatt? With the Fun House dead now, could it lead to us getting more details about the reality of the place? Was it so easy to find, or did Wyatt just ask the gatekeepers of the Fun House to let Rollins in?
While this could all turn out to be an illusion with Wyatt again returning to the screen with the Fun House, there is a chance that the days of the kids-friendly TV show segments are gone. If that indeed is the case, then I would like to pay my respects and remember the fun that we had inside the Fun House. Will you miss these segments, fireflies?
As mentioned by Bray himself while convincing Ramblin' Rabbit, The Fiend was supposed to protect them. What will he do now?
#1 Bray Wyatt is vulnerable, but The Fiend is not
Tonight was the first time a WWE Superstar got into a physical altercation with the "heal" side of Bray Wyatt as Seth Rollins took Wyatt out with punches. In response, the former Eater of Worlds got up and showed a very vulnerable side as he asked Rollins "Why are you doing this to me?"
What was that supposed to mean? We know that The Fiend comes out for revenge whenever someone hurts Bray Wyatt, and this statement could have been an indication that Rollins has again forced The Fiend to take over Bray to deal with the BeastSlayer.
As mentioned in the previous slide, Orton previously burned the Wyatt Family Compound. While the two incidents were similar, the reactions of Bray Wyatt were entirely different. The old Bray Wyatt almost broke into tears seeing his house burning in flames, but tonight when the Fun House was burning, one could hear the evil laughter of Wyatt in the background.
To add to this, there were continuous flashes of The Fiend along with the flashes, hinting at the Fiend being unleashed and taking matters into his hands. One thing is clear - while Bray Wyatt is vulnerable to such human threats and feelings, The Fiend is no man, and will not be affected by any of this. It probably wasn't the smartest of moves, Seth!
