3. It’s a Perfect Narrative
When Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton first crossed paths in August of last year, their feud had the potential to be huge. The Viper versus The Eater of Worlds was the type of rivalry that had the makings of a savagely dark tale. Over the years Orton has made it clear that there are no limits to the pursuit of his prey and Wyatt, although only a member of the main roster for over 3 years, has laid waste to numerous detractors in his path. Although not always successful in these feuds, he always left an imprint.
So when their relationship switched from enemy to partner just after a couple of months, most fans were skeptical of the move. But whatever reservations were there quickly evaporated when the two seemed to get along swimmingly which then led to Free Bird like tag team title reign along with fellow Wyatt Family member Luke Harper. But after Harper started to resent The Viper, a feeling that cost them the tag titles, Wyatt seemed ready to stand alone with Orton.
And here we are. A Wyatt win would set up a world title match at Wrestlemania with Orton, who’s Royal Rumble victory affords him the right. Orton, at 36 years old seems rejuvenated in his allegiance to Wyatt. Would he dare defy his new found leader and battle him for the title? Or has Orton been playing a game all along with Bray? There are so many different directions the WWE could go with this but with how good the Wyatt/Orton connection seems to be, it would undoubtedly be must-see television.
