7 things that didn't go as well as WWE wanted them to this year

#5 House of Horrors

While watching this match, I looked just as perplexed as Orton does here.

Granted, WWE did a lot of things wrong with Bray Wyatt this year, but I digress...

Let's talk about what happened before this abomination of a match for a second - despite a nicely executed slow burn, Wyatt and Orton put on an absolute stinker at WrestleMania 33. On that night, it became evident that Wyatt was merely a placeholder champion for Orton's eventual title win. So, he invoked his rematch clause at Payback in a new type of match - a House of Horrors match.

As they were building towards the match, Wyatt was inexplicably traded to RAW, making his rematch with Orton a non-title match. We're off to a bad start, and it only gets worse.

The match essentially ended up being yet another shameless ripoff of TNA's "Final Deletion" match from last year. The crowd didn't care, the fans watching at home didn't care, it was just a flat-out mess. As if it wasn't already bad enough, the stipulations of the match mandated that a wrestler could only win the match in the ring.

Which begs a few questions - what's the point of fighting in the House of Horrors at all if you're just going to end up going in the ring to fight? Also, if this is supposed to be a mysterious "House of Horrors," why is it apparently so close to an arena in San Jose?

The match was brought to a merciful end when Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers interfered on Wyatt's behalf and helped secure a victory for the Eater of Worlds. So not only was it made a non-title match for no reason, not only was it a TNA ripoff, not only was it absolutely moronic to make it so the match could only end in the ring...but Wyatt couldn't even beat Orton clean.

I really can't say more than this.
