Randy Orton may have finally rid himself of "The Fiend."
At WrestleMania 37, Orton picked up a victory over "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, hitting an RKO for the pinfall win after "The Fiend" was distracted by Alexa Bliss, who sat atop a giant jack in the box, drenched in black ooze.
After the bout, "The Fiend" looked at Alexa in a confused manner before the lights went out and the two disappeared into the night with the crowd booing.
"The Fiend" was restored to his original form before the match began, popping out of a giant jack in the box and attacking Orton to begin the bout.

Did @AlexaBliss_WWE just cost #TheFiend his match against @RandyOrton? #WrestleMania @WWEBrayWyatt pic.twitter.com/2MzBEPiTpP
The feud between Orton and "The Fiend" kicked off in October 2020. It heated up, literally, in a Firefly Inferno Match at WWE TLC in December when Orton set "The Fiend" on fire. Orton would become possessed by Bliss in the first months of 2021, vomiting black ooze and being confronted by a demon Orton. "The Burnt Fiend" returned to help Bliss defeat Orton at WWE Fastlane, setting up their WrestleMania 37 bout.
