6. The Match...

So let's deal with the Bray Wyatt and KANE match... yes, Randy Orton couldn't compete due to the concussion he suffered at the hands of Brock Lesnar so WWE thought Kane, coming in hot off a couple of Chokeslams on SmackDown Live in recent weeks, was a suitable replacement...

WTF.

Next, I'm questioning why Randy Orton couldn't participate in the match because if you look at the RKO he hit on Wyatt, you'll see, from a kayfabe standpoint at least, that he appears to be perfectly fine. He leaps off that injured leg like a gazelle! Obviously, we're not supposed to know about the real life head injuries, which made his use of his injured wheel every peculiar indeed.

Randy then walked out doing John Cena's old WordLife/Roman Reigns get the beers in sign, which was a very strange sight to see.

Then, and the final WTF Moment when it comes to this match, we have the result. Now Kane beating Bray Wyatt in a PPV match in 2016 should be a WTF Moment but then you realise that Bray is literally allergic to PPV wins. Yes, I know he might have won the match with Orton via countout, but that's like saying you've won a football match 3-0 when your opponents can't field a full team and are forced to forfeit. It's not a bonafide win.

Kane really needed that momentum didn't he? He's nearly 50 soon! I'm sure there's a lot WWE could do off the back of this win.

Just let Bray win a few matches for goodness sake!
