WWE World Champion John Cena has entertained us all with a bizarre bout this weekend, after he fought a puppet at WrestleMania 36, and somehow managed to lose.

Despite the fact that there was no actual live audience watching the fights at WrestleMania, the show went ahead regardless, with Charlotte Flair beating Rhea Ripley, Edge beating Randy Orton, and The Street Profits beating Austin Theory and Angel Garza in the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship.

However, the weirdest part of the whole night was definitely John Cena squaring off against 'The Fiend'. The Fiend (an alter ego of Bray Wyatt spun out of a puppet show he did last year) is advertised as being able to manipulate time and space, and used his powers to take Cena on a retrospective journey through his career.

Per a report on the event by Vulture, Cena was transported to Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House puppet show, accosted by a Vince McMahon puppet, and tried to fight Wyatt himself, who was disguised a swamp-dwelling cult leader. However, Wyatt transformed into one of his puppets, which culminated in Cena fighting a German-voiced puppet named Huskus the Pig Boy.

However, many fans had hoped that Cena himself would have also turned himself into a puppet to fight Wyatt. For instance, on Twitter, one WWE fan wrote: "During the fun house match, if at some point, they don't turn into puppets for whatever reason and wrestle like that, I'm quitting wrestling. I need to see John Cena turned into a puppet. I need that in my life right now. It'll be so stupid and goofy. [sic]"

I'll say one thing for WWE: even during a global crisis, they know how to put on a show, and you never know what to expect next...
