Randy Orton took the shocking step on Tuesday’s SmackDownu200b of passing up a chance to face Bray Wyatt for the World Championship at WrestleMania 33.
Orton earned his spot in WrestleMania’s main event after winning the Royal Rumble last month and Wyatt punched his ticket by taking the belt from John Cena at Elimination Chamber.
But rather than set up a battle between two members of the Wyatt Family, Orton shocked fans on Tuesday by telling Wyatt he would not fight him in Orlando on April 2.
“As long as you are the master and I am the servant, I refuse to face you at WrestleMania,” Orton said.
