11. The House Of Horrors Match

I promised my therapist I would never speak of this match again but, thankfully, this past weekend appears to have put a few of these particular ghosts to rest. WWE's House of Horrors was, when it aired during Payback 2017, one of most divisive matches the company had put on in recent years.

Not divisive between "was it good?" or "was it bad?", divisive between whether or not it was a poorly-executed response to Hardy's Final Deletion that had blown up in their face, or just a giant rib on the part of a company that had given up even pretending to care. The truth, as it normally is for WWE, lay somewhere in the middle.

So for those of us who've spent hundreds of pounds trying to securely memory-hole this one, let's reminisce. Randy Orton arrived at a haunted house (you knew it was haunted because there were dolls in the window) whereupon he was attacked by a manic Bray Wyatt. They brawled through the building, filmed entirely in a schlocky quasi-horror style, before Wyatt tipped a fridge on his opponent and left in his limo.

Somehow Orton beat him back to the arena, Jinder Mahal got involved, and Wyatt won. One of the most unwatchable, nonsensical segments WWE have ever put together and a wonder that it didn't immediately kill off this style of match for good. That Wyatt's managed to recover his aura, and indeed talk the top brass into having more gos at this, is arguably his greatest achievement in a WWE ring.
