WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: THE TAG TOURNAMENT CONTINUES, THE LATEST FROM MIZ AND DANIEL BRYAN, WHO CHALLENGED AJ STYLES?, DIVAS ACTION, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2016-08-30 22:00:00

We are back and Bray Wyatt makes his way to the ring.

Bray says he does not fear snakes.  He does not fear monsters.  He fears no man because he is fear.  When he thinks of the legend of Randy Orton, he does not think of him as a mythological serpent.  He is just a man who believes he has venom running through his veins.  Bray says that excites him.  You are sick Randy.  That is what he likes about Randy.  What Brock Lesnar did to you at SummerSlam was very interesting.  He exploited all of your flaws.  You went into the match with no fear, thinking you were untouchable.  You came out of the match as a man who was damaged.

Bray introduces himself to Randy and he says that is his game. He eradicates the infected.  If you really do have voices in your head and they tell you what to do, he hopes they tell you to run.  Run Randy.  Run.

Randy's music plays and he makes his way to the stage and then he goes at the Ortonly pace to the ring.

Randy tells Bray the voices in his head, they are asking who the hell does this guy think he is.  Bray thinks that Randy is damaged because he has staples in his head?  Randy says he has been damaged for a long time and that gives him his charm.  From one damaged man to another, he tells Bray he has his attention.

Bray says that is what he wanted.  That is the predator he wanted to see.  That is the courage that he appreciates.  You are no longer the predator in this situation.  You are damaged.  You are weak.  Bray says that he is the predator now.  You should know better than anyone what a predator does best.  He kills.  At Backlash, he will cut the serpent's head off and put it on his mantle like the trophy you are.

Randy says he has played that game with many people before and he is still standing here.  Randy mentions the scars from Cactus Jack and The Undertaker.  Those are not the scars you have to worry about.  They are the internal scars and the demons inside.  Maybe that is why he half ass respects Bray.  He knows Bray has demons too.  So Bray Wyatt wants Randy Orton at Backlash.  You got it.

Randy says fear . . . he is not afraid of Bray.  He is not afraid of a man who calls himself a God.  Randy says he is not afraid of kicking Bray's ass . . . right now.

Orton goes into the ring and the lights go out.
