As noted, ESPN obtained comments from Randy Orton after his Royal Rumble match win, and during the interview Orton had the following to say when asked why he aligned himself with Bray Wyatt:
“I’m a Wyatt because I wanted to be in the most dominating group in WWE currently. I’m not going to say the most dominating in history, because you always hear about the best group in history, the most dominating group in history, etc. Everything is ‘in history.’ Screw that. Right now, we’re the baddest guys in here. I’m doing what I’ve got to do, so to speak. But tonight was cool to see how it unfolded, because Luke definitely has a chip on his shoulder. He tried to give Bray the Sister Abigail. I saved Bray. As far as I’m concerned, whether it’s me, Bray and Luke, or just me and Bray, we’re a wrecking crew. And that’s what we’ve got to do. That’s what we are good at.”
