WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You May Have Missed (Nov 1)
9. Randy Orton Didn't Perform His Usual Turnbuckle Pose Pre-Match
It's fairly clear that Randy Orton is playing Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family as a whole. Watching the interaction between Orton and Luke Harper on SmackDown, the current cult member sees through Randy's current guise. It's likely this will come to a head at Survivor Series, possibly with Orton causing Wyatt to get eliminated from the SmackDown vs. Raw elimination match.
Following on from an RKO he delivered to Kane last week, Randy faced the masked man in a No Disqualification bout. The match didn't really get going though, as The Wyatts made their way out and helped Orton secure the victory.
Before the encounter got underway, Orton cut a solemn figure as he made his way to the ring. It must have been years since Randy hadn't enter the squared circle, strolled over to one of the corners and performed his trademark pose. On this particular episode, the man refrained from doing exactly that.
JBL did point this out briefly, however the announcers didn't make a big deal out of it. This was great, subtle heel work from Orton.
