We take a look at what happened at the start of Raw between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
Randy Orton makes his way to the ring.
Orton says for the longest time he has done what he wanted to do when he wants to do it to whomever he wants to do it to. Last night, that wasn't the case. Randy says he told everyone he would RKO Drew, kick him in the head and take his title. Randy says he is a man of his word. He said he would kill the legend of Edge, Christian, Big Show, Ric Flair, and Shawn Michaels and that is what he did. I am the Legend Killer.
Drew McIntyre, you come out here and the opportunity presents itself and I kicked you in the skull not once, but twice and it felt so good. Do you want to know why I kicked you twice. You offered me a rematch out of pity. Who the hell are you? I will tell you who the hell I am. I am Randy Orton, I am the Legend Killer. I am the greatest.
Keith Lee makes his way to the ring.
Keith takes a mic and he says that Randy seems a little perplexed but we have never been properly introduced. Keith gives his greetings and salutations to Randy and he offers Randy a spectacular opportunity. A privilege for one moment to bask in his glory. You have been called many things, The Viper, Apex Predator, Legend Killer. I have been called many things. Game changer. Anomoly. I am limitless. Since the Limitless One is on Raw and since you are looking for a fight that no one has ever felt. With respect to his friend Drew McIntyre, I will step up if you are willing to accept the challenge. Right here, right now.
Randy asks Keith if he wants to fight him. You want to fight me right here, right now.
Maybe later.
