While the history of the WWE may be littered with outrageous match gimmicks, the modern product tends to shy away from such ridiculousness and the WWE rarely attempts to bombard us with too much nonsense these days.

Unfortunately, someone failed to get that memo back at Payback 2017 when the WWE decided to go ahead and book a house of horrors match between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt.

From the opening shot of Randy Orton turning up to Bray Wyatt's house in the back of a taxi topless, to the ridiculous fight that took place between the two men throughout the house itself, this whole thing felt a farcical throwback to the heydays of Vince Russo in WCW.

Thankfully, Bray Wyatt has yet to challenge anybody else to a similar type of match-up, though, that's probably because the first one effectively killed any credibility he possessed as a main event performer.
