WWE News: Randy Orton vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt, Wrestlemania 37 (April 11)
Randy Orton collided against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt in the opening match of the second night of Wrestlemania 37. The two men had taken each other to the limit in the build-up of this bout, and The Fiend ensured he walked out with his original unburnt attire.
Alexa Bliss came out and turned the handle of a giant jack-in-the-box placed ringside from where The Fiend emerged and leaped off the box on Orton. The match was physical and brutal but spectacular at the same time. The Fiend applied his vicious Mandible Claw that has put many opponents in the past, but Orton managed to escape the claw not once but twice.

Having defended their tag-team titles against the best Monday Night Raw has to offer, Riddle & Orton took their game a notch ahead when they defeated the Smackdown tag-team champions The Usos in a brand supremacy match.
It was a big win for Orton & Riddle as The Usos are seasoned campaigners when it comes to tag-teams. The Viper’s RKO out of nowhere on Jimmy Uso was the only thing required for the Raw tag-team champions to slay the Smackdown tag-team champions at Survivor Series.
