We’re back live and we get a quick promo from Neville to hype tonight’s 205 Live. Randy Orton makes his way to the ring.
Orton grabs a mic and talks about waiting for “months and months” and waiting like a snake in the grass regarding Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family. He said he had to figure out where to hit Wyatt the most. Orton talks about joining The Wyatt’s and getting close to Bray.
He talks about destroying the one thing Bray Wyatt loves: Sister Abigail. Orton says as the fire burned bright and he heard “her screams”, suddenly the new face of fear had fear written all over his face. He says Wyatt was afraid to be alone and he is indeed alone. Orton says at WrestleMania he will take everything away from Wyatt.
We get an interruption. Bray Wyatt is on the screen. He says Orton was absolutely right until he found his way back home…”or what’s left of it.” Wyatt says Sister Abigail is the “spawn of Satan” and appears to be kneeling in the rubble of the house Orton burned down. He describes himself as the “Lord of Lords” and the all-seeing, all-knowing. “It is my duty to purge all of the infidels in this life. I’ll start with you. I’m born again Randy. In her ashes, I baptize myself.” Wyatt removes the wood floor and rubs dirt over his body and face. Bray screams and the segment ends.
