Apparently he’s about one segment away from asking for people to donate to the D-Von Bray Wyatt Building Fund. Hi, I'm a concerned citizen and I'd like to see Johnny, controlling Alexa Bliss in the game WWE 2K20, talk to "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt about his building fund because I really wish the youth of America would have a nice place to go someday. There's a Wyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, walking behind youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

From Fightful: "If the Fiend/Randy Orton climax at WrestleMania wasn't what you were expecting, you aren't alone. In fact, the talent are among those. Fightful has learned that the plan as of Friday before WrestleMania was for the Fiend to go over in the match. However, it was changed over the weekend to Randy Orton emerging victorious. There was never a plan in order for a Firefly Funhouse, and beyond that, those associated with the angle were never given an endgame at any point, outside of the fact that it would write Orton off of tel evision for a good period of time. A "surprise" finish was pitched over the weekend, and we're told Bruce Prichard and Vince McMahon were instrumental in the change and the decision making associated. We were told that management seemed happy with the finish as it played out, but talent we've heard from were exceedingly confused." Don't really believe this... it reads like the old Smarkbait... especially when I remember it being reported multiple times that Bray is pretty much allowed to do his own thing...

Depends what "his own thing" entails, really. Firefly Funhouse segments? I can buy he has total control on those and Vince is greenlighting whatever he's running by him. The finish to a Wrestlemania match? That's WCW Hogan-level creative control and nobody has that kind of power.

Well this entire match was storyline bullshit though... that's kinda my point... maybe he was supposed to win originally but... like the spots with Alexa dripping with Goo and stuff seemed like it was planned well before this weekend. Maybe that stuff was supposed to happen afterwards (and yes probably would have worked better there.) but I doubt it was a last minute decision for the actual stuff that happened.

I mean, for me anyway, I have an easier time believing Vince changed things then I do Bray having the allowances he has because some of the decisions the last few months really don’t seem like stuff Bray would do for the interests of his character. Unless Bray deliberately sets out to make The Fiend look like a total doofus and in that case, whew!

I can totally buy this being a Vince call. Vince will always have his favorites and Orton is one of them. I get that he's a great wrestler and I love it when Randy is in "No f*** to give" mode, but the rest of the time he's duller than dishwater.

That W against The Fiend was totally necessary... #RandyIsABitch

I forgot to mention this earlier but I am absolutely all for Reverend Bray.
Could Rick Steiner's son play a convincing Deacon? Because that completely needs to happen.
