SmackDown Results: The Wyatts Turn On One of Their Own

One of the biggest stories on SmackDown Live have been the ongoing tensions inside the Wyatt Family, with Randy Orton’s inevitable betrayal seeming, well, inevitable.

With Orton and Harper unable to work together, Bray Wyatt decided they needed to settle their differences in the ring. You know, work out their aggression. Manly wrestler tough stuff.

It was a competitve match, but Orton ultimately pulled off the victory–with an RKO outta nowhere.

After the match, Bray helped Harper to his feet, and consoled him for the loss. Or so it seemed–the embrace was quickly turned into Sister Abigail’s Kiss, leaving Harper on the mat. Orton and Wyatt left the ring together.

We’ll likely see the payoff of this story at the Royal Rumble, but there are several possibilities. One: Bray decided Harper needed some tough love after failing. Two: Harper is about to be exiled and cast out from the Wyatts. Three: Orton is successfully destroying the family from within.

The latter seemed almost too obvious, but there’ve been enough twists and turns in this story that I’m no longer quite sure. You’re successfully swerving me here, WWE. Bravo.
