Not much to this theory, sure, but WR always tosses curveballs at us.

Theory: We are seeing two "Universes".

Universe A has a its Fairytale Land, its Wonderland, etc.

Universe B has its "new" Fairytale Land, its "new" Wonderland, even its own Regina, Hook, etc.

So, in Universe B, "Wish Realm" is just some wierd and wacky place where aberrations occur (like, it's just a really small world/aka just the Misthaven and surrounding oceans part that just so happens to have this universe' EF characters all in tact.

Of course, universe travel is allowed and thus, we have a lovely state of the current affairs. Why another Cinderella? Because the fairies just "know" what to do (as they are across several realms).

Plus, it's a hilairous thought that Facilier didn't like Wish Queen....or maybe Wish Queen failed, not due to wish contrivance, but lack of Facilier's involvement. Since Facilier helps/was with Regina, WQ lost her magic, couldn't cast the curse, etc.

Nook travelled the high seas and realms of Uni B. In Uni B, Wish Queen (like Regina would in Uni A) knew about other realms.

Maybe it even extends that there is no Wish Rapunzel (like with the whole story), but simply Rapunzel Tremaine in NFTL. Maybe even a second LWM...but let me not stretch it that far.
