Bray Wyatt finally got his hands on Randy Orton at WrestleMania, but it didn’t turn out the way he intended. This match was for the WWE Championship, but the title was far from the focus.
WrestleMania 33: Randy Orton defeats Bray Wyatt to capture the WWE Championship
The Viper is now WWE Champion!
The match was a standard one-on-one but it didn’t play out that way. Whenever Orton was down on the mat, Wyatt would lean on the turnbuckle as the ring became illuminated with images of worms and maggots.
Wyatt dominated most of the match but the creepy imagery was his undoing. After roaches were projected onto the ring, Orton got up and hit an RKO for the pin.
Initially, Wyatt and Orton feuded in the fall. When Orton couldn’t get the upper hand on Wyatt and his followers, he joined them. Together, they all became the dominant force on the Smackdown brand.
Their success eventually became their undoing as Orton won the 2017 Royal Rumble, which guaranteed him an opportunity to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania. A.J Styles was champion then, but soon lost the title to Bray Wyatt in February’s Elimination Chamber.
Even though the two were obligated to face each other in the main event, Orton refused since Wyatt was now his leader. Of course, this was all a ploy to betray Wyatt and get into his insecurities. Orton burned down his compound where the woman Wyatt worships was buried. It is as absurd as you think.
