![]() They've kidnapped guys and cast their spells and all that stuff. With the Wyatt thing, when I first jumped ship and joined the Wyatt Family, fans were like "Oh, I've seen this before." They've done that before. And some people may fall off, may lose interest, but I think the biggest mistake we can make is to get scared, get cold feet, and then stop that storyline because we think it's not what the fans want to see. Whenever you get that four or five months to tell a story, and maybe a title changes hands a few times, whatever you're doing, you're married to that guy for that amount of time. And in more recent memory, Seth Rollins and I worked together for a long time. Like with Mick Foley, Undertaker, Shawn, Triple H. Orton: Yeah, it's few and far between when you get an angle with a guy, or guys, and it really carries on for a long time. What's it like to be part of this long gestating Bray Wyatt storyline? It's gone on for about half a year now and it looks like it's heading to a big payoff at WrestleMania. It seems like, while we're not back to anything that long, a lot of angles can go on for months now. IGN: Decades ago, feuds and storylines could go on for years. Instead of going to it with them as a fan, I get to possibly main event it with them sitting in the front row. I'm looking forward to bringing the kids, all five children, and their going to watch their father whip Bray Wyatt's ass. To answer your question, we're going into WrestleMania and it's been two years for me and I'm looking forward to it. I still want to walk that line and be as much of a bad guy that I can be while still doing my job well. And now I've kind of switched back over, so to speak. ![]() And it was nice to get that little taste of being a heel again. It's no secret that I would prefer to be a heel, night and day, over being a babyface. And being a part of the Wyatt Family threw me back into that heel element that I love so much and had missed for a very long time. then I got to doing this thing with the Wyatt Family and I don't remember having this much fun in the ring in a long time. It took a couple months to get my feet under me again. I got a concussion, got split open, blood all over the place. I had Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam and he's a machine right there. I've been back since last July and it was a rocky start when I came back from my injury. So that was nice, but it still hurt to miss performing on it. ![]() We took pictures of them posing on the ropes. I got to bring them into the ring on the Saturday before 'Mania. I brought my family and we had a great time. I hadn't really been keeping track of what was going on with the build to the show so it was exciting to see. So it did suck to miss last year's but I had an injury and, on one hand, it was kind of nice to go to WrestleMania in that big of a venue - I think there were close to a hundred thousand people there, I'm not positive - but it was great to go because I got to just go there as a fan. I think WrestleMania XX would have been my first one, yes, and then I had 12 in a row. Randy Orton: Yeah, you know it's never nice to miss a WrestleMania and that's the first one I've missed since I started here. It must feel good to not only be back at 'Mania, but to be in a world title match. IGN: Unfortunately, you missed WrestleMania 32 last year in Dallas. I spoke to Randy Orton about his big title match at WrestleMania, his long-running storyline with the Wyatt Family, the popularity of the RKO, and more. ![]() So far, Orton's torched Bray's sister's remains while Bray himself has covered himself in his ashes and pronounced himself reborn. ![]() In another huge match, Randy Orton will challenge Bray Wyatt for the WWE World Championship in a match that's sure to be filled with violent mind games galore. Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg will collide once again, this time with Goldberg's Universal Championship on the line, while Roman Reigns is set to square off against The Undertaker. WrestleMania 33 is just over one week away - coming at us live from the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, April 2nd. ![]()
