That was likely how the two cinematic matches emerged and Shane McMahon, speaking to Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast (H/T WrestlingInc), Shane McMahon described how WWE had to adapt to the pandemic situation and how he knew that they were working on something different with the Firefly Fun House match:
Shane McMahon lauded John Cena for thinking outside the box and stated that the 16-time World champion wanted the match to be a showcase for Bray Wyatt, calling Cena “unselfish”. He also praised the Boneyard match one night before and praised it for how they were able to showcase The Undertaker in a different light:
Did Shane McMahon and WWE’s ‘out-of-the-box’ approach work?
Shane McMahon and WWE were forced to think outside the box when it came to putting together a match like the Firefly Fun House. While it wasn’t as unanimously praised as the Boneyard match, most fans seemed to view it in a positive light.
Ultimately, the objectives were to have unique storytelling and a great showcase for Bray Wyatt. WWE managed to achieve both and it was a tremendous effort on their part.
