After a series of disappointing matches following the brand extension, Randy Orton aligned himself with Bray Wyatt. Nobody expected this alliance to last, and it was presumed that Randy Orton would destroy the Wyatt Family from within (as he has done with Luke Harper getting ousted from the bearded backwoods family).
Him turning on Bray Wyatt at the Royal Rumble would be a predictable conclusion to the storyline. Do we want any more Randy Orton-Bray Wyatt matches anyway, honestly?
