#4 (Negative) Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt did not have a great match together

While the storytelling between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton was great for the most part, their matches against each other weren't the greatest. The Viper faced the 'Eater of Worlds' at No Mercy, with their match headlining the pay-per-view. While decent, it was a bit slow and probably should not have been the main event.

Orton and Wyatt's bout was nowhere near the level of AJ Styles vs. John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE Championship, or The Miz and Dolph Ziggler's 'IC Title vs. Career' classic. Both of those matches were better choices to headline the SmackDown-exclusive event.

After the heel turn from Randy Orton, fans expected the eventual blow-off match to be special. However, the two of them failed to deliver during their WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 33. More on that in a little bit.

The 14-time World Champion himself stated that he and Wyatt do not have the best chemistry in the ring, which was unfortunately evident during their matches together. This might be a slight cause for concern during Randy Orton's current feud with The Fiend, but the story is strong enough for them to be fine regardless.
