Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper vs Randy Orton & Kane

Result: Wyatt Family def. Orton & Kane by pinfall (Sister Abigail)

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Harper gets on the mic before the match and says that he now sees the light with Wyatt. His leader then says that we’re all going into a black hole, and that he is a god. You know, standard Bray Wyatt words.

Wyatt and Orton’s issues clearly aren’t solved yet, so these guys will continue to be at each other’s throat for the next month or so at the least.

In the match, the Wyatts use double teams and typical tag team tactics to isolate the Big Red Machine. Kane manages to get the hot tag to Orton, who unleashes on Wyatt. He lays into both Wyatt Family members on the outside, tossing Harper over the announce table and Wyatt into the barricade.

In the ring, Wyatt is trying to bargain with Orton, who is having none of it. He hits the draping DDT to Wyatt. Kane is on the outside battling Harper, and he gets yelled at by the ref. With his back turned, Harper nails Orton with a superkick and both Orton and Wyatt are down. As Orton goes for the tag, the lights go out and when they come back on Harper is standing where Kane was. Orton is spooked, and turns into a Sister Abigail to get the pin and the win.
