Ranking What Was REALLY The Worst Wrestling Match Every Year 1990-2021

5. 2017 - Bray Wyatt Vs. Randy Orton, WWE Payback

In a house grotesquely decorated with eerie baby dolls, Bray Wyatt toppled over a fridge to subdue Randy Orton after a sh*tty cinematic pre-pandemic (!) walk-and-brawl. The mundanity of the object used in this drab anti-phantasmagoria was very funny. A man capable of making a lawnmower move by itself used the preferred foreign object of TL Hopper.

Since Wyatt constantly touched sh*t, it was almost apropos.

Wyatt, who can teleport in canon, took Orton's limo back to the arena. Orton, who can't teleport, teleported back to the arena, or discovered some unseen alternative method of transport.

A faster Uber, perhaps?

Imagine the small talk.

"How was your day mate?"

"Aye, canny. Another rousing display of my trademark solid psychology."
