I have ZERO interest in an Orton/Bray match for the title. This entire Orton in the Wyatt family story has been confusing as is. I thought he only joined in order to destroy it from within. But they have teased NOTHING. Because it's still too far out. And he HAS destroyed it from within - he got Harper and Bray to completely turn on each other. It doesnt feel like that since they havent teased anything or connected those dots. Whether he ultimately takes credit or not, the story that has been told is boring and makes no sense. They could have run a great long program and lead right into WM. Instead it seems like they have built nada and will just quickly shuffle it all together when there is a month to go till mania.

You kinda have to wait until a month until Mania to pull the trigger on Orton turning, though. What do you gain by doing it now? Unless they just wanna blow the match on free TV, which would be horrendous. If you wait until the last minute, it makes the feud far hotter than completely spinning the wheels for two months. It's pretty clear what the plan is, and Orton's plan is in kayfabe.

Orton vs. Wyatt will be happening, they are just filling time now. 5 weeks is a lot of time to kill.

Got a bad feeling they are going to say like "Triple Main Event" like at Hell in a Cell and somehow push Wyatt and Orton down the card

I see no scenario where this will benefit Reigns. For all we know, his contract actually stipulates he gets paid $3000 per Wfigs weird conspiracy thread about him. So it benefits him a fair bit that way.

You want to set things up. they've done none of that.

Luke Harper will win battle royal, Orton will tell them he wants back in the match. 3 way for title.

You want to set things up. they've done none of that. They absolutely have. It's been subtle, but they have. During the initial blowup with Harper and Wyatt, Orton coming out at the end of EC... they're teasing it, just not slap-you-in-the-face obvious.

Its not subtle...its non existent to me. Jericho/KO....that is a story/feud that has been building and building and had a HUGE payoff on Raw.

If they put Reigns in that spot he would suffer the Batista effect. The guy we want you to like in a match against the guy you really want to win.

Sorry for going a little off topic, but has anyone ever main evented 3 Wrestlemanias in a row? Hogan in 1,2, and 3 maybe? I'm too lazy to search it up.

Hogan did 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, with an asterisk on 9 as the final match Rock did 15, 16, 17 with an asterisk on 18 as the show stealer "co main event".

Hogan really was Vince's guy back in the day. I don't think anyone will ever main event 9 in a row again.

Savage/DiBiase was on top.

Roman should've won the rumble, but I feel for tradition reasons, Orton's match should be somewhere near the main event

I see no scenario where this will benefit Reigns. But now that I think about it, I would love to see AJ win next week. Setting up an AJ face turn. Bray gets worried and has Orton reclaim his title spot. Bryan makes it a triple threat at WM. AJ vs Wyatt vs Orton sounds far more entertaining than just Orton vs Bray. Love it. I also don't think Goldberg will be champ lads.....I really think Lesnar will cost him at fastlane.

even if Roman became the worlds's best heel, I still couldn't take him seriously with that vest

The point is so that it looks like it's literally from out of nowhere to the casual fans and he explains it in promos leading up to Mania. If they didn't go deep into it, casual fans would just think it's the same thing as Bryan in 2014 and how's he's just going to turn after a short time. There is story telling in him eliminating Harper and having Bray basically trust him with his life so when it finally comes and Bray eats and RKO, the crowd will explode
