In what was easily the best segment of this week's RAW, Randy Orton seemed to have gotten the better of Bray Wyatt after successfully luring the latter into his trap.

Orton beat down Wyatt backstage and put him in a wooden crate. Orton lit the box on fire, thinking he has successfully managed to win this psychological warfare over Wyatt. Unfortunately for Orton, The Fiend emerged out of the blazing crate and choked him with a Mandible Claw. WWE did an excellent job in making both men look quite sinister in their attempts to win the psychological warfare ahead of their highly-awaited clash at TLC.

However, the absence of Alexa Bliss from RAW this week certainly raises a few questions and it will be interesting to see if she will be involved in their match at TLC.

While a lot of detractors of this rivalry would term this segment as cartoonish, it was successful in creating hype around the clash, which was initially written off for being pointless.
