After winning this year's Royal Rumble, Randy Orton gave up his opportunity to face Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania. That led to a Battle Royal which ended in controversy when AJ Styles and Luke Harper eliminated each other at the same time, and when they later squared off, it was Styles who emerged as the new #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Later that same night, Orton revealed his master plan and turned on Wyatt, burning down his shack (the resting place of Sister Abigail). So, yeah, it was a roundabout way to set up the SmackDown Live WrestleMania main event which culminated with Styles and Orton going to war earlier tonight.
Following an RKO Outta Nowhere, it was Orton who regained his championship match at the Showcase of the Immortals, leaving Styles out in the cold. However, as you can see below, it appears as if the stage is being set for him to face Shane McMahon at WrestleMania, so stay tuned for updates on that following tonight's Talking Smack. What do you guys think of these developments?
