Perhaps the biggest positive to come out of this whole thing, Bray Wyatt may not have won the WWE Championship if it wasn't for his storyline with Randy Orton storyline. With the Viper winning the 2017 Royal Rumble Match, Wyatt won the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber to establish the two of them as the top stars on SmackDown.

The match in which the 'Eater of Worlds' won the title was fabulous, as he pinned John Cena and AJ Styles en route to a stunning victory. The story of Randy Orton "forfeiting" his WrestleMania title shot was compelling, giving birth to the idea that Luke Harper could find his way to a world title match at 'Mania.

Even the moment when Orton betrayed his supposed leader was fantastic, as he burned down the Wyatt Compound. The image of it was as beautiful as it was haunting. Essentially, everything about this story until WrestleMania was great, aside from the complete removal of Harper from the main story.

Bray Wyatt's WWE Championship run is unfairly deemed a failure and while it ended poorly at the hands of Randy Orton, the seven weeks he held it for were fun. His successful triple threat title defense against Cena and Styles was one of the greatest matches of that era of SmackDown.
