Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar both shared their final messages to each other before Wrestlemania,
so we’ll take a look at what they had to say. We’ll also see what John Cena had
to say, and how a DisneyLand ride inspired something with The Fiend
Let’s start things off with this DisneyLand inspiration for The Fiend and the firefly funhouse
Former WWE writer, Jon Rineman,
played a big role of what we all saw with Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse
Rineman was recently interviewed by SportKeeda Wrestling and talked about
how one of his ideas was truly loved by Vince McMahon and the creative team
Rineman explained that he got inspiration for this specific idea from Disney’s Haunted Mansion
Bray Wyatt and The Fiend always posted a picture frame in the Firefly Funhouse of
whoever they had just finish taking out or feuding with, sort of like a memorial
So it was Rineman’s idea for The Fiend and Bray
Wyatt to tease upcoming targets and attacks in a very similar way
He came up with the idea to have hidden empty picture frames in the background
of the Funhouse, which was supposed to be a hint to the audience that Bray Wyatt and
The Fiend were preparing to attack and were closing in on their next target
So if you ever saw an empty picture frame in the background of the Firefly Funhouse,
that was done intentionally to serve as a big hint that Bray had his eyes set on someone new
So it’s just very interesting to look back and hear about these little
creative details behind the Firefly Funhouse
Hopefully through former WWE writers or through Windham himself, we get more insight
and reveals on all the hidden Easter eggs and details that were never properly discovered

John Cena recently sat down with GQ and was asked about being a full time performer with WWE
and if it truly is something that he misses
Cena had this to say in response to that question, quote:
"I miss it every day. Every single day. But I’ll be 45 on April 23rd, and I was very fortunate
to make it as long as I did with only a minor list of injuries. Nothing that has changed the
trajectory of my long term health. I’m strong, flexible, and in really good shape externally,
internally. I think now, being a full-time touring performer might start to hit that
point of diminishing returns, and I have to be realistic when I look at that.” End quote
So a great response by John Cena. He says that he misses those days of working full-time in WWE,
but at the same time, he knows it’ll be impossible to work that schedule
at his current age, so he’s accepting of that
Not only did his age take him away from the full time schedule, everyone is well aware that John
Cena’s filming schedule is very full and hectic, it’s hard for him to find a lot of free time
John Cena did return for a Summerslam story with Roman Reigns in 2021,
but he unfortunately missed a handful of the past few Wrestlemanias
He hasn’t appeared at Wrestlemania since the Firefly Funhouse with Bray Wyatt
in 2020 and his last actual Wrestlemania match was back at Wrestlemania 34 against The Undertaker
John Cena has said several times that he’ll always come back for short runs
whenever he’s available, so we’ll have to wait for Cena’s next WWE return

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar’s storyline is obviously WWE’s main
centerpiece storyline amongst all their brands
There’s no feud or story right now in WWE that even comes close to the level of Roman and Brock
It’s a storyline that began at last year’s Summerslam,
but you can also argue that it’s a story that’s seven plus years in the making
Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar first faced off at Wrestlemania 31,
but Roman and Brock didn’t get to fight it out because of Seth Rollins and his cash-in
Fast forward three years later and Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were
back in the Wrestlemania main event for the Universal title
That match saw Brock retain against Roman Reigns
Fast forward 4 years later and here we are again for their third Wrestlemania main event
So there’s a long back story here between Roman and Brock.
Even outside of Wrestlemania, they faced off against each other a countless amount of times
So in a way, this feels like the one big final battle to determine
who wins their 7 year long feud once and for all
Add that to the fact that it’s a world title unification match
and you can see just how much is on the line here with this main event
Brock Lesnar came out on Raw to describe how he plans on giving Roman
a whole tour through Suplex City before taking his universal title
Roman’s final message was in a much more serious tone than Brock and was great
Roman mentioned Wrestlemania 34 and explained
how that’s fueling him right now for this unification title match
Brock Lesnar destroyed Roman Reigns during their last Wrestlemania main event meeting
Like Roman said, he was cut up everywhere,
his parents advising him to step away from the industry, his family began doubting him
So Roman did a great job of painting the picture of what’s at risk for him
from a reputation point of view if he loses this match
Not only will it end his historic streak and title
reign, it’ll also bring back those similar memories of Wrestlemania 34
How will The Usos and his entire family react
to Brock Lesnar once again embarrassing him on the Wrestlemania main event stage?
That’s the kind of loss that’ll probably make The Usos start to question
if Roman was a fraud and who knows if that starts to create cracks amongst the Bloodline
So that’s what’s at risk for him
Roman also mentioned things like how he took Paul Heyman from Brock and upgraded him from
an advocate to a wiseman, and now he’s coming to take that title away from Brock as well
Roman Reigns also appeared on The Tonight Show and and described how this Wrestlemania
38 match with Brock Lesnar will be the final chapter of their story
Roman said that this chapter will be closed at Wrestlemania
and he will move forward to the next challenger
As far as predictions and a favorite for this match,
Roman Reigns seems to be the clear favorite to win this match
Not only are there some real life hints out there, such as the fact that Brock
Lesnar is not currently advertised for any post Wrestlemania event,
but strictly from a storyline point of view, Roman makes a lot of sense to be the winner here
His whole story over the last few years has been about
being the top superstar in the entire wrestling industry
So what better way to legitimize Roman’s claim and story than by having
him defeat Brock Lesnar in the main event of Wrestlemania and unify both WWE world titles
That just seems like the absolute perfect situation that would fortify
everything that Roman has been saying lately
Only issue with Roman winning is that he’ll really be on another level now and
there’s not much challengers left that seem like credible opponents for him,
so that’s gonna be another issue down the line after Wrestlemania
You still have that big potential feud with Drew McIntyre that they can do,
but outside of Drew, the list of challengers is shrinking fast
