10 Times WWE Revived AWFUL Storylines

1. Bray Wyatt Vs Randy Orton

The Fiend On Fire

Anything that involves one man burning down another man’s shack is either going to be incredible or absolutely terrible. For Randy Orton versus Bray Wyatt in 2017, it was the latter.

The two shared a long running storyline with quite a slow burn. It started with Randy Orton being in the crosshairs of Bray Wyatt, who soon turned to his former Wyatt Family cohorts for support. This then led to Wyatt courting Orton to join his side; an offer the Viper took up.

Of course this was only a ruse. Orton eventually turned on Wyatt and burned down the Wyatt Family home, or everyone presumed it was their home. The big payoff was a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 33. Unfortunately that didn’t deliver either, mainly because Wyatt tried to beat Orton using spider holograms.

As ever, WWE refused to let it lie. 3 years later in 2020, the Legend Killer and the now rechristened Fiend Bray Wyatt are going at it in a rivalry that is even more bonkers than the previous one. The arson has now given way to outright murder using fire. The rivalry is still alive as we speak, despite the Fiend being very much dead. Only time will if it ends any better than last time.
