The Complete A-Z Of Wrestling In 2017
19. H - House Of Horrors
What a f*cking mess. And that's just the kitchen.
A parody of a parody of professional wrestling, Payback's 'House Of Horrors' match between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt was neither knowing enough to be considered trolling nor enjoyable enough to swallow ironically. It was the worst of both worlds, even the ones Wyatt hadn't yet eaten. Or maybe he had, and this was regurgitated shortly afterwards.
The bones of this rotting carcass have been picked at enough over the last several months, but its worth considering the bigger picture too. The match was robbed of stakes when Orton simultaneously began working with Jinder Mahal. This also meant Bray Wyatt never even received his mandatory rematch for the WWE Title he lost pathetically at WrestleMania in an equally worthless horror show. The mug.
Still, Bray's sheer excitement with getting to win one for a change was obviously enough succour for the supposed 'New Face Of Fear'. The destination of a belt he once desired had already been earmarked elsewhere...
