The storyline between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton concluded at WrestleMania 37, in which Bliss turned on Wyatt and Orton defeated Wyatt in quick match. The following night on Raw was Wyatt’s final appearance on WWE television before his release at the end of July.
According to the Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, it wasn’t just Bray Wyatt that was unhappy with his current storyline and creative direction. This report states that Randy Orton and other backstage people weren’t happy with the overall storyline nor the outcome of the blowoff match at WrestleMania 37, which saw its finish changed two days before the match occurred.
Fightful Select report also states that there was “never a true creative endgame” for the story between Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, and Alexa Bliss. This is honestly very concerning for a six-month rivalry built to climax at WrestleMania event.
A big point of contention and frustration between Wyatt and WWE seemed to be WrestleMania, which didn’t go the way anyone expected — and there was no end game. Fans, staff, even other wrestlers were shocked.

The change in the finish of the match resulted in Bray Wyatt being taken off from WWE TV instead of Randy Orton, who had planned time off following WrestleMania 37. And that led to the formation of RK-Bro in the process.
Despite of things working out for Orton, Sean Ross Sapp was told that multiple wrestlers backstage approached both Wyatt and Orton to express their frustrations over the match being changed, feeling bad for both men who had to put up with it.
As for why the match ended at WrestleMania 37 got changed last minute, WWE sources told Sapp that Bray Wyatt being outspoken when he felt his creative was bad and that strained the relationship between Wyatt and Vince McMahon. So much so to the point that some believed McMahon didn’t like Wyatt anymore because of it.
