Orton claimed that he knew every superstar in the locker room enjoyed watching him suffer last week because they thought it would protect them from him at the Royal Rumble. However, not even a missing limb would stop him from winning the Rumble and main event Wrestlemania.
“Despite my sickening affliction, I vow to remain in the Royal Rumble Match. I can complete as long as I can tolerate the pain. The funny thing is, I enjoy the pain,” Orton said.
Despite Orton repeatedly claiming that he will participate in the 30-men countdown battle royal at Royal Rumble, it has been speculated that this is nothing more than a red herring. Reports suggest that Orton will face Bray Wyatt in yet another gimmick match.
There is no word on what kind of match that would be or when will Bray return. The ongoing storyline however, suggests that Wyatt is not yet done with his former Wyatt Family member. He may have been kept away from the show to sell his body burning to a crisp at TLC last month. However, Bliss has done very well to keep the feud hot between them.
