During the Royal Rumble match on January 29, Harper attacked both Orton and Wyatt, even attempting "Sister Abigail" on the latter before being attacked by Orton, who would then go on to win the Royal Rumble match. At Elimination Chamber on February 12, Orton defeated Harper while in the main event Wyatt won the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber match. The following night on "SmackDown Live", after Wyatt successfully defended the WWE Championship in a triple threat match involving John Cena and AJ Styles (despite a pre-match attack by Harper), Orton came to the ring, pledging allegiance to Wyatt and refusing to face him at WrestleMania 33. The following week on "SmackDown Live", Wyatt gave Orton "the keys to the kingdom" which referred to the Wyatt Family's compound, but Orton turned on Wyatt by burning down the Wyatt Family compound on the February 28 episode of "SmackDown Live" before challenging him to a match at WrestleMania 33, seemingly disbanding the Wyatt Family in the process.
