Randy Orton is still expected to face Bray Wyatt for the WWE title at WrestleMania despite WWE’s “refusing to wrestle” storyline, according to Dave Meltzer.
There is a possibility that Luke Harper may be added to the match if he beats AJ Styles next week on SmackDown, making the WrestleMania match a triple threat, but it seems like Orton will still end up in there somehow.
WWE obviously seems to be going somewhere with the Wyatts/Orton angle and it seems unlikely for WWE to leave Orton out of any match at WrestleMania after having him win the Royal Rumble.
They teased something at the end of SmackDown with Bray Wyatt laughing while Orton stared at the WWE title, as you can see in the pic and video below.
