10 Worst WWE Storyline Payoffs

They went in what direction?!

8. The House Of Horrors

Bray Wyatt/The Fiend was a magnet for silly nonsense during his WWE career. Some of it was rotten, some of it merely OK and some it was actually quite good. 

His 2017 feud with Randy Orton certainly ran that gamut, as the initial storyline of The Viper joining the Wyatt Family, only to turn on them in spectacular fashion, was well done. 

Then the two met in a WWE Title match at WrestleMania, where maggots and other creepy-crawlies were projected onto the ring canvas and you thought, 'jeez, that was bad but at least things can't possibly get any dumber'. 

And you know something? You'd be dead wrong. Because the next month at Payback, the two had their big blowoff match inside the 'House of Horrors'. 

Said house supposedly belonged to the Eater of Worlds, and Orton showed up there in a limo. Without a shirt on. But wearing regular pants and shoes. Hmmmm. Right from the off, you could sense this thing was going to be a strange disaster. 

They then had a crap brawl around the gaff that ended with Bray chucking a fridge onto Randy, before turning everything red (I'm assuming via Google Home?) and knicking the limo. 

Later in the show, the match continued in the arena, where fans had booed the previous 'cinematic' claptrap. Miraculously, Orton managed to free himself from the haunted fridge, but he ended up losing a short, poor match after the Bollywood Boys and Jinder Mahal interfered leading to Sister Abigail. 

Just unbelievably bad on every conceivable level and a genuine horror show for all involved.
