Perhaps you should read "man wget". It says:

       -O file
       --output-document=file
           The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but
           all will be concatenated together and written to file.  If - is
           used as file, documents will be printed to standard output,
           disabling link conversion.  (Use ./- to print to a file literally
           named -.)
