Closing out WWE’s final pay-per-view of their calendar year was ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt taking on Randy Orton in a Firefly Inferno match. The conclusion of the match saw Orton push The Fiend into the flames and while on fire, Wyatt chased Orton into the ring and was hit with an RKO. Orton went to the outside, grabbed a can of gasoline and a match and set The Fiend on fire to win the Firefly Inferno bout.
