Huge Match Announced for Next Week’s “Smackdown Live”

Give us a reason to come back. One of the more interesting stories on “Smackdown Live” as of late has been the issues involving the Wyatt Family. Randy Orton joined the team late last year with the justification of “if you can’t beat em, join em.” Since then though, he and Luke Harper have been having several issues, which seem to be coming to a head. On this week’s show, Bray Wyatt did something about it.

Near the end of the show, Wyatt announced that Harper and Orton will square off one on one next week on “Smackdown Live”. Wyatt said it doesn’t matter who wins because the Family will be stronger than ever no matter what. This comes after Harper has cost the Wyatts back to back matches, including their rematch for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles.

In theory this is setting up a showdown between Wyatt and Orton at “Wrestlemania XXXIII” and there’s nothing wrong with that. The key difference on “Smackdown Live” is the fact that they’re letting the story build up over time instead of rushing it out there for the next pay per view. There’s a good chance Orton and Wyatt will also be in the same match at “Elimination Chamber 2017” and that’s a perfect springboard on the way to Orlando.

Who do you think wins next week? Do you see Orton vs. Wyatt at “Wrestlemania XXXIII”? Let us know in the comments below.
