WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Oct 25)
7. Bray Wyatt's Cunning Sell Of Randy Orton's RKO On Kane
It seems that Randy Orton will now be written to play some mind games with Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt Family. When it looked like Luke Harper might interfere and beat on Kane with Bray, Orton's music hit and he raced down the aisle towards the ring. Common sense would have conjured up a tag-team match scenario, possibly for next week.
Instead, Randy paused for a moment before dropping Kane with an RKO. Leaving the ring, Orton didn't even look back as Wyatt pinned the monster and bagged the win. Hidden in amongst all the attention on Randy Orton, Bray did a wonderful job conveying his confusion.
Wide-eyed and stunned, Wyatt then calmed down and slowly scanned his eyes from Kane to the entrance position and then back again. Analysing what had just happened, Bray looked like he had cottoned on to what Orton was trying, using it to capitalise and nonetheless score a major victory.
It would have been easy for Bray to remain shocked. By choosing to look sly, Wyatt actually helped the segment have more impact. It's a shame the WWE cameras didn't linger on him longer.
