John Cena has had a lot of huge moments on the Grandest Stage of Them All, and last year at WrestleMania 36 he faced off against Bray Wyatt in the first ever Firefly Funhouse match.
The match was a cinematic match unlike anything the wrestling world had seen up to that point, and it certainly made a big impression on fans before it was all said and done.
To say the match was unique would be an understatement, and during an interview with Den of Geek John Cena explained how the match was pitched to him.
“The Funhouse match was something I hold very close to me and maybe that’s another 45-minute interview for another day because that was kind of thrown in my lap at the last minute. And I remember specifically asking what a Firefly Funhouse match was. And the answer was literally, “We don’t know.” And in most performers that would cause panic, but I was just riveted by the open field that we could possibly create something special. And like you said, it took a lot of brave folks and a lot of hard work to make something that hopefully the audience understood. And at least if it reached one, we reached you and that’s good. And I’m sure in your critical television articles, I’ve been on the wrong end of an ass-kicking many times from you and that I totally understand, but I’m glad we at least got something you enjoy.”
