3 Ups & 7 Downs From WWE Raw (Dec 7)

Ups…

3. Come On Down!

As bad as the opening portion with Randy Orton was, Bray Wyatt chewed the scenery of his part with glee.

Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse quickly segued to a pseudo-game show, Let’s Get Randy, complete with Wyatt wearing a wig. His contestants, Mercy, Huskus and Ramblin’ Rabbit, were competing for Bray’s symbol/mallet, and the “rotting corpse of Friendship Frog” in a nice bit of silly consistency. The question: “How should Randy Orton be punished at TLC?”

It never got a correct answer, but Wyatt clearly enjoyed himself with this silliness, which was right in keeping with the funhouse motif. And after dealing with Orton’s droning, this somewhat salvaged the opening segment.
