If you didn’t love watching Randy Orton burn down the Wyatt Family’s tool shed/grave site for Sister Abigail, chances are you haven’t been a pro wrestling fan for very long.
Bray Wyatt‘s championship invocation did not go quite as planned when Randy Orton turned his back on his master and literally burned down the Wyatt’s compound as well as the “remains of Sister Abigail.” Orton may have broken a few laws along the way, but he made it clear that he was coming for Wyatt’s WWE Championship at Wrestlemania.
