DISAPPOINTED: WWE Fans React To The SHOCKING Ending to The Fiend vs Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37
Follow Us
Night 2 of WrestleMania had quite the opening. With the much-awaited match between the Fiend and Randy Orton starting the show, the controversial ending with Alexa Bliss surely raised some eyebrows.
To recap it all very quickly, The Fiend (now in his ‘normal‘ attire) dominated Randy Orton till the last moment. However, following a ‘Sister Abigail’, Bliss, in an “anti-christ” avatar, appeared on top of the Jake-in-the-Box and distracted Fiend.
Randy Orton took advantage of the distraction and hit an RKO to secure the victory. However, as Orton left the ring, the Fiend and Bliss shared some supernatural connection and disappeared completely from the arena in the blink of an eye.

Someone help us understand @WWE ‘s continual shitty booking. You hype @WWEBrayWyatt up, months of build up and a hyped return , you make him look unstoppable and he comes back from being “burned alive” …… and then you have him get distracted an lose to ONE RKO…. ffs 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/vujTeleXtU

The Fiend loses a lot for a guy with supernatural powers. #WrestleMania

Some fans gave a plausible explanation, too. One fan wrote, “Sister Abigail has been reborn in Alexa Bliss and distracted The Fiend which cost him the match. Abigail is an angel, and The Fiend is a Demon, both trying to control Bray Wyatt. Although I would’ve liked a longer match, it’s storytelling.”
Others also proclaimed how Sister Abigail was resurrected in Bliss following Fiend’s incineration at TLC 2020. As Fiend returned to his former self tonight, he also identified Abigail and responded to her “call,” losing the match.

While many believe WWE will break up Fiend and Bliss, that would certainly not be the case. The ambiguous ending kept future possibilities open. Maybe, The Fiend and Sister Abigail will unite and awake all the supernatural characters in WWE to form a stable of their own.
You can read about more such theories here. As of now, the fans have to look forward to the RAW following WrestleMania for some plausible explanation from WWE’s side.
