1. Fiend Seeks Revenge

Randy Orton Bray Wyatt

We’ve seen it teased for a while now, but it finally looks like Bray Wyatt is going to seek revenge against Randy Orton for his sins of the past.

Orton of course burned down the Wyatt Family compound before their WrestleMania 33 disaster of a match, in which Randy snuffed out the last attempt to make Bray a serious threat (before his most recent incarnation). A painting of the burning compound has been on the wall of the Firefly Funhouse for some time now.

On Monday, Wyatt directly alluded to it again, tipping off The Fiend’s appearance during the main event, with Orton getting spooked twice and losing to AJ Styles. This would presumably set up a match between the two, possibly as soon as TLC next month.

That could be a fun feud, with Wyatt presumably playing the pseudo-babyface in this situation since Orton has just been a straight despicable heel for months.
