Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt set for WWE No Mercy
Though the match was made apparent by their ongoing feud, WWE officially announced that Randy Orton would face Bray Wyatt at SmackDown’s upcoming No Mercy pay-per-view.
WWE made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon after much of Tuesday night’s edition of SmackDown focused on the Orton vs. Wyatt angle. Orton began the show with a promo before being interrupted by Wyatt on the video screen. Later in the show, multiple segments focused on Orton trying to find Wyatt backstage.
Orton was originally scheduled to face Wyatt at Backlash, but wasn’t cleared to compete in time for the show after suffering a concussion during his match against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
No Mercy is scheduled for October 9th in Sacramento, CA. The current card for the show is:
- AJ Styles defending his WWE World Championship against John Cena and Dean Ambrose in a triple threat match
- Becky Lynch defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss
- Heath Slater & Rhyno defending their SmackDown Tag Team Championship against The Usos
- The Miz defending his Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler with Ziggler’s career on the line
- Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt
