Not on top! 

#1 Randy Orton (WWE Champion) (NC)

Will Orton get revenge on Mahal for costing him his “House of Horrors" match at Payback?

Since winning the WWE Title from Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 33, Randy Orton has still had to deal with “The Eater of Worlds”. While Bray was no longer coming after Orton’s title, Wyatt continued to torment Orton on a weekly basis.

Bray finally offered a challenge to him about a month back to a “House of Horrors” match. Orton would agree to the match while admitting that he wasn’t really sure what all would be involved in the match.

As it turns out, nobody knew what to expect from Bray’s “House of Horrors” interference this past Sunday night was far from horrifying. As a matter of fact, the match was a complete dud. Fans in the arena and on social media trashed the concept and match itself.

Bray Wyatt would go on to win thanks to interference from The Singh Brothers and Jinder Mahal, giving Bray a win he so desperately needed (albeit in a match that nobody took seriously) and fueling the feud between Orton and Mahal.

Surprisingly, Orton was kept off of Smackdown Live two nights later. However, with Backlash rapidly approaching, one would have to assume that this week will be much different and the feud between Orton and Mahal will really begin to take off.
