Todd Grisham interviewed Randy Orton backstage about the "rumors" that legal action would be taken against him tomorrow on Raw. Orton said he hasn't heard anything from the McMahons, but as far as he was concerned, he was still in the Royal Rumble. Chris Jericho entered, saying he didn't blame Orton for what he did. Jericho said he was a different Vince McMahon than he used to be. Jericho said "The real Mr. McMahon was already dead and buried" and the McMahon that showed up last week was just pandering to his daughter. Orton accused Jericho of siding with him so he would lower his defenses in the Rumble. Jericho said he wasn't worried about that, since he said the McMahon are vengeful people, and that Orton would probably be gone from the company tomorrow. Jericho wised Orton luck and left.
The video package for the Rumble was shown. Apparently, there was a technical problem, as they abruptly left the package and went to the ring.
