The former multi-time WWE Champion had nothing but praise for the late great Bray Wyatt.
John Cena and Bray Wyatt, alongside his Wyatt Family stablemates, feuded throughout 2014 and later reignited said feud in 2020, which led to the unforgettable Firefly Funhouse Match at WrestleMania 36.
During a new video on WWE’s YouTube channel, Cena looked back at some of his most legendary bouts. One match highlighted by Cena was his match against Wyatt at Payback 2014, leading to the 16-time world champion praising Wyatt’s creativity.
“I really enjoyed performing with Bray. We were cut from the same cloth in that regard. Both storytellers and both wanting to do bizarre things, and I think we, him and I, have always tried to do different things, and we’ve embraced each other’s creativity. Using the child at the door of the cage, the Firefly Funhouse match, those are ideas that come from a unique individual. I always loved Windham’s creativity. He never strictly leaned on the physicality of anything. He was always about the art and the story,”
-John Cena
Windham ‘Bray Wyatt’ Rotunda tragically passed away at the age of 36 on August 24, 2023, with the wrestling world having nothing but good things to say about one of the most unique minds in the history of the industry.
As for what’s next for Cena, he’s set to face The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa this Saturday at Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
