10 Dumbest Decisions By WWE Champions
10. Bray Wyatt - Letting Randy Orton Destroy His Entire Life And Thinking Projections Would Fix It
Because he did though, didn't he?
It's quite something that Bray Wyatt went on Bray Wyatting for well over another year before restarting things as The Fiend. This WrestleMania 33 catastrophe felt, even as it was happening, as the point of no return for the once-feared 'Eater Of Worlds'.
Randy Orton had infiltrated The Wyatt Family in an actually-pretty-tremendous turn of events that got too cute for its own good by the end. Having ran off Wyatt's genuine follower Luke Harper, Orton revealed his long con to take literally everything from Bray when he set fire to his house with Sister Abigail (at this point not Bray in a wedding dress speaking in a Carry On voice) inside. Next on the list was the WWE Championship, but the 'Eater Of Worlds' still had his magic powers didn't he? 'The Apex Predator' didn't stand a chance against...nature footage.
And not even nature footage he could see. The projections were to get a gasp from the audience due to an aerial shot - something Orton himself wouldn't possibly be able to catch.
The first one (maggots) got polite applause, but neither the Challenger nor the crowds were a*sed about selling them by the end. Wyatt was drilled with an RKO just 13 seconds after some scuttling insects were beamed onto the mat. That the match only went 10:30 perhaps highlights how little faith the company had in the idea from the beginning.
