#5 Randy Orton vs. 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt (Firefly Inferno Match)

It is truly hard to rate a match like this. The main event of WWE TLC saw Randy Orton take on 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt in the first-ever Firefly Inferno Match and what ended up happening was shocking, to say the least. The action at TLC was pretty decent, but it picked up once the flames appeared around the ring.

Orton and The Fiend tried to kill each other by pushing each other in the fire, or simply dipping various weapons in it. Wyatt even sat The Viper on his rocking chair, before setting it on fire. There were several close calls, until the end of the match which saw both Superstars go for their finishers.

An RKO attempt was countered into the Mandible Claw, but Orton pushed The Fiend into the flames. A fire-covered Fiend entered the ring, only to succumb to the RKO. Randy Orton then lit a match and dropped it on the lifeless body of The Fiend, making for a very uncomfortable visual.

TLC ended with Bray Wyatt's monstrous alter-ego burning in the ring, while The Legend Killer stood tall. This match was completely story-based and the ending might be pretty divisive. Anyway, it was unique. Could TLC have been the end for The Fiend? This was certainly a way to ensure RAW's viewership figures improve from last week's ratings disaster.

Grade: B+
