Randy Orton would stop at nothing while unleashing his Legend Killer moniker on WWE Raw superstars. He is angry as hell after coming up short at the hands of Drew McIntyre at Summerslam. So he took out frustrations on the WWE Champion in a vicious way that might have handed a serious injury to him.
As seen on WWE Raw, Drew McIntyre kicked off the night mentioning how he defeated Randy Orton at Summerslam. But he wasn’t happy about the soft win and hence issued a challenge for a rematch. The Viper responded with a brutal ambush on the ramp that ended with a big kick to the skull.
