We are back and Randy Orton makes his way to the ring.
Randy admits that they are two hours into the show, but he welcomes everyone to the show. Randy mentions John's name and the crowd reacts. While the world couldn't see him, he could. It took about 20 years for all of you to realize what kind of man he is, but he knew from day one. He is arrogant and selfish. He is an entitled brat who gets whatever he wants. He is the ultimate shiny toy to be played with by the puppet master. You took advantage of the PG era. You were willing and eager to be a real life walking, talking cartoon character. Randy says he did everything he could to be true to who he is. He didn't care about the boys in the back or any of you. All he cares about is his bottom line. That has brought him fame and fortune. It has brought him into the mainstream. He makes sure there is a new color of merchandise so all of you kids can grab it up so you love him more than he wants you to.
Last week, John said the reason why he never had kids or raised a family himself was because he was too busy raising yours. The only thing you have raised is the price of the merchandise that the parents have to work a double to afford. Selling your soul isn't a new concept, is it John? You have been doing that for twenty years. Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. He will give him the hustle all day, but the loyalty and respect. What happened John? Last week, you stood in the ring and you said you were going to erase the Orton name from the history book because you were going to erase everything his family did in the business. You will not do it over his dead freakin body.
You say you are the last real champion, but that isn't true. You are the latest legend he has to put down. Next Saturday, in front of his wife, his family, his kids, and friends. In front of the Orton legacy, he will kick you in your head and it will fly off your shoulders and through the Gateway Arch. Not before I drop your ass with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment . . . R . . . K . . . O.
Nia tells Naomi they have to be on the same page. She says she will forget what Naomi said out there. She is focused on Tiffany and the title so you focus on Jade and we will be good.
Naomi says sure and walks away.
