Orton, who won the WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre at Hell in a Cell, has a long history with Bray Wyatt.

The two men briefly joined forces in The Wyatt Family in late 2016. Orton then betrayed Bray Wyatt in early 2017 and burned down his Wyatt Family compound in the build-up to their WrestleMania 33 match.
