There are many nice WWE occasions left on the 2025 TV schedule, however just one is going on in a theme park. Common’s Halloween Horror Nights is bringing the Wyatt Sicks into its acclaimed annual occasion, and sure, Bray Wyatt shall be honored. Common has some large plans and, as a wrestling fan, I am thrilled by the small print which were shared so far.
Common’s assistant director of inventive growth for HHN, Lora Sauls, spoke to SFX Journal’s Darren Scott for its newest subject. In it, she spilled the beans on what to anticipate from The Horror of the Wyatt Sicks portion of the occasion. Apparently, it kicks off with a scene wrestling followers would possibly’ve peeped in the event that they had been tuned into Monday Night time Uncooked for the Wyatts’ premiere as a faction:
And so what we’re doing for the haunted home is we’re recreating the precise scene that Uncle Howdy introduced the Wyatt Sicks on Monday Night time Uncooked. So we’re creating that second when the Wyatt Sicks was launched to the world in WWE and then you definitely go into, on that night time whenever you went by way of to the gorilla place of just like the again of the gorilla place, when that place was proven that night time on the Monday Night time Uncooked, when the Wyatt Sicks was launched, they’d massacred everybody in there. So you are going into that night time within the gorilla place the place they’ve massacred everybody.
My head is spinning over the concept of a fictionalized recreation of a precise fictionalized occasion that was, in fact, not actual. Be that as it might, the wrestling fan in me who loved WWE: Unreal loves the considered being part of this scene and pretending I am part of all of it. Generally it is enjoyable to get misplaced within the immersion of all of it!
That time above is particularly true with the following portion, which leans closely into the concepts first thought up by the late Bray Wyatt. Those that miss all of the kookiness and utter madness of the Firefly Funhouse will get to expertise all of that insanity firsthand:
Then we thrust you into the derelict Firefly Funhouse. Then you definately’re going by way of a tunnel of TVs that we spotlight over 10 totally different WWE superstars with 27 TVs, and Uncle Howdy is infiltrating these TVs within the TV tunnel, after which we’re thrust into the worlds of every of the Wyatt Sicks. So you are going to see the Rambling Rabbit within the Upside Down Tea Room, Mercy the Buzzard is pecking the flesh off individuals. Huskus the Pig, you are going into his derelict pigpen, the place he is consuming different wrestlers. You go into Abby the Witch’s witch hut, with all of those sorts of supernatural witch issues.
It feels like followers are going to get the extra supernatural variations of the Firefly Funhouse crew. Nonetheless, I would not count on to see “The Boss,” which was a puppet likened to resemble former CEO Vince McMahon with satan horns. Not that it is wanted, as seeing the remainder of the Wyatt bunch might be an enormous deal with to anybody who liked that period of Bray’s profession.
After all, it would not really feel full with out The Fiend, which has been absent within the WWE since Wyatt’s dying, regardless of there being some concepts his brother Bo Dallas has slowly carried out. Rejoice, wrestling followers, as a result of The Fiend will return in Halloween Horror Nights, and there shall be different tributes to Bray’s previous eras as nicely:
Then we go, and that is the place we pay tribute to Bray and the Fiend. All of the when you’re listening to the Fiend, however then we go into Bray Wyatt’s cabin, the place we’ve got the Fiend featured, and Bray Wyatt’s lantern featured. Then you may be thrust into the cabin, the place the entire Wyatt Sicks is coming at you, together with the Fiend.
As somebody who was an enormous fan of Bray Wyatt and was completely crushed when he handed, that is precisely the kind of tribute I hoped for. I am unable to consider a greater method to honor the weird world he performed a heavy hand in creating for his character. This finally serves as a bittersweet, if not unconventional, memorial for one of many scariest wrestlers of the fashionable period. To me, that is higher than when The Undertaker handed the torch to Wyatt, and I hope this theme park attraction is simply as superb because it sounds.
Common’s Halloween Horror Nights kicks off on August twenty ninth and can go during November 2nd. It looks as if you are actually going to need to get in on this 12 months’s festivities.
