so let's get into this infernal match because this was quite insane and it's about to change
a lot of things up for bray wyatt the infernal match was so important that it closed out wwe
tlc and was the main event the inferno match was reportedly pre-taped sunday afternoon
and was not live at all wwe recorded the match early and it was rumored that the original plan
wasn't for the match to be the main event but wwe decided to have it close the show many fans
were expecting a cinematic match here and even though it technically wasn't a cinematic match
it still included some aspects of a cinematic match especially with the certain camera angles
the match seemed like it was live but there was a few moments that really gave it away that it was
pre-recorded when the fiend lit the chair on fire you could notice a few camera cuts during that
moment when the fiend gets lit on fire for the first time you can also notice a few camera cuts
and lastly when ratty orton lit the fiend on fire in the closing moments it seemed like the
camera cut as well but that's enough talk about everything that was going on behind the scenes
let's stop ruining the immersion and dive back into this match and look at it from a storyline
perspective bray wyatt gave a brilliant recap during the video package before the match and
perfectly went over his entire story with randy orton from their days together as a tag team
champion in 2017 to orton burning down his house all the way to current day with the fiend bria
wyatt perfectly set up the story for us before the match we finally get to the match and the design
of the infernal match is quite different the fire is no longer across the ring apron it's towards
the barricade so it gives the superstars more room to work with randy orton had a few close calls of
almost getting lit on fire but he was able to get away every single time the fiend is about
to push orton onto the fire before orton switches it around and pushes the fiend back into the fire
the fiend catches on fire and runs into the ring before being laid out in the ring technically this
was the end of the match the rules clearly state that you win by lighting your opponent on fire
so randy orton won the infernal match right there but the bell never run and his music
never played everyone was asking about the bell but it's safe to assume that wwe didn't call
for the bell or orton's music because they didn't want to take us out of the moment
especially with what's coming next orton kicks the motionless body of the fiend but realizes
that it's not enough and just like the house he wants to make sure this issue is gone forever
orton grabs the gas container and proceeds to fully light the fiend on fire before posing on the
wrap the fiend remains in flames as the show comes to an end so that was quite the unexpected moment
here for this match defeat was the favorite to win this match but obviously this will go down in the
history books as his second loss now you may think to yourself that this was another horrible move
and how could they make the fiend lose again and go out like this but think about it for a second
him losing this match and going out like this opens up a lot of possibilities and exciting ideas
rather than him just simply defeating randy orton the one question on everyone's mind is
what does this mean for the fiend is he over with was this an official end to the persona
ray wyatt even took to twitter and tweeted thank you with a red circle ray was talking about
earlier in the week how everything comes full circle so that's what he was referring to but i
don't think this is an end to the fiend obviously from a marketing and business point of view the
fiend is your most popular character you're not gonna write him off like that and fully get rid
of the character if this was any other character that got lit on fire then i would assume they were
done but the fact that it's the fiend lets us know that this is basically the beginning of the story
he's far from done what if the fiend comes back stronger than ever what if orton accidentally
created more of a monster we know the fiend had a big loss against goldberg and now this loss
so what if he comes back reinvented again maybe a new look a slightly burnt face and he's stronger
than before it'll be a great way to wipe the fiend's slate clean of that goldberg loss and
this orton loss and give him another fresh start freshen them up a bit what i would like to see
with this story is for them to play out what seems to be the end for the fiend have bray wyatt truly
be sad and angry with randy orton putting an end to the fiend let the story ride out for a bit like
that i don't want to see the fiend return next week or something like that after what we just
saw the fiend should go on the sidelines for a decent while build up that suspense as if he's
really gone just like a superhero movie when it appears that they're gone but then they come back
a few movies later something like that let us see what life without the fiend is like for bray wyatt
for a little while how will he act and behave now that he no longer has protection from the fiend
how will the fiend's absence affect bray wyatt and what will his mood be like that'll be very
important to keep an eye on will he congratulate randy orton for getting rid of the fiend or will
wyatt let him know that this isn't the end but i just think they'd need to keep it going for
a while keep him missing but when it's time for a return the fiend's gonna need one huge return
like we've never seen before maybe a cinematic return of getting up and walking out of a swamp
or something with the burnt marks oliver's body like we mentioned before maybe a slightly
altered mask that's burnt as well so we can visually see all that punishment from the match
that's exactly what i see happening and that's the type of character that the fiend is
just an old school horror movie monster that no matter what you do to him he's gonna keep getting
up so even though the fire might have stunned him it definitely didn't take him out for good
he's gonna come back and we'll be stronger than ever i wanna see him come back but i don't want
it to feel so rushed so what will brie wyatt do until then well alexa bliss will be with him
once she comes back from her break and we know how obsessed she was with the fiend as well so
how would she react will she be sad or absolutely livid maybe alexa goes on her own little revenge
to her and that's what leads us to see alexa's version of the fiend maybe bray wyatt is able to
convert all the powers over to alexa bliss and she carries the fiend's legacy until he's back
maybe alexa bliss and bray wyatt will find a way to revive the fiend and get him back themselves
something like that for down the line would be fine we already saw the fiend emerge from
fire on raw when randy orton lit the box up so it shouldn't be an issue for him at all i know
watching the fiend burn on fire to close out the show may be hard for bray wyatt fans but i like
the decision because of all the possibilities and options it opens up the fiend getting lit on fire
and now all this speculation to discussion about what happens next to the fiend is way more fun
than the fiend just simply winning the match and lighting orton on fire if the fiend wins
that match against orton then it's basically the end of that story the fiend got his revenge
but the fact that randy orton beat bray wyatt again and the fact that the fiend didn't get
his revenge means that the fiend will have an even stronger desire to get back at randy orton
