Bray Wyatt made it clear during the Firefly Funhouse on Monday night that all has not been forgiven from three years ago with Randy Orton.

In the leadup to WrestleMania 33, Orton burned down the Wyatt Family compound, en route to defeating him for the WWE Championship. Monday, Wyatt initially said that “the past is the past,” but then went into a trance as scenes of the burning building and Randy posing in front of it played.

Wyatt then warned that “he” never forgets, implying that the Fiend was coming for payback. It was a good, simple setup that used the funhouse to tie in an issue from several years ago, making this rivalry immediately more personal and grounded.
