5 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Feb 28)

1. Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn

Everybody knew that Randy Orton's betrayal of Bray Wyatt was coming, but few could have imagined it would happen in such spectacular fashion. A simple RKO or shot with the WWE Championship belt would have sufficed, but no. Orton took their story to a shocking new level last night, and while the segment will likely become one of the year's most divisive moments, it accomplished everything WWE need it to.

At the end of the show, Wyatt hit the ring to address AJ Styles' victory, and it didn't take long for him to drift into one of his trademark rambles. Fortunately, things were cut short when Orton appeared on the screen, lingering outside Sister Abigail's burial ground. "This is your world," he said, "but it's not mine," and with the ultimate betrayal, Orton literally burned Wyatt's world to the ground.

Having seemingly exhumed the body, Orton poured gasoline all around the Wyatt Family Compound and torched Sister Abigail's soul. Bray was reduced to a quivering, gibbering wreck at ringside, and as everything he holds dear burned before his very eyes, SmackDown closed with a sobbing Wyatt rocking back and forth against the announce table.

We already know that even when he's a face, Orton is a pretty despicable individual, and his brutality knows no limits. This was a highly appropriate way for him to finally pull the trigger on his his master, and while it was certainly hokey and over-the-top, that's exactly what wrestling needs to be sometimes.
