Bray Wyatt‘s championship invocation did not go quite as planned when Randy Orton turned his back on his master and literally burned down the Wyatt’s compound as well as the “remains of Sister Abigail.” Orton may have broken a few laws along the way, but he made it clear that he was coming for Wyatt’s WWE Championship at Wrestlemania.
This was one of the most throwback, over the top wrestling angles we’ve seen in a long time.
WWE dipped back into their supernatural bag of tricks to kick off a ridiculous and amazing payoff to the six month long storyline between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt.
