WWE RAW REPORT: TWO DECADES OF ORTON, TWO RETURNS, TWO MATCH RESTARTS BY SONYA DEVILLE, AND MORE

Your announcers are Corey Graves, Jimmy Smith, and Byron Saxton.

Riddle is in the ring with wrestlers surrounding the ring.  

Riddle welcomes everyone to Raw.  Riddle says it is the 20th Anniversary for Randy Orton.

We have a video package starting with his debut on Smackdown.

Riddle brings out Randy Orton and he is dressed for the occasion.

Randy says he appreciates Riddle and says this is cool.  Randy says he was born in Knoxville.  He says it is true.  He says it is pretty cool they are doing this here.  He says this has been a hell of a journey.  A lot of ups and downs and twists and turns.  Randy says he ain't going nowhere.  Twenty years flew by in a flash.  He says he has made a lot of relationships through the years.  He mentions John Cena, Triple H, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley.

Randy says it was because of Mick Foley he is the Legend Killer.  Mick is the reason why he is here.  Along with Ric Flair and Triple H.

Randy says he is having more fun now than he did in his entire career.  Randy says it is because of Riddle and he hugs Riddle. 

Randy mentions the fans and says they have had their ups and downs and twists and turns but you have come back to support him.  There would be no Legend Killer, Apex Predator, or Viper without you.

Riddle tells Randy he has a surprise for him.  Riddle says a mentor wanted to come out.  A second generation superstar and someone who was his friend.

Riddle brings out Cody Rhodes.

Cody and Randy hug in the ring.

Seth Rollins shows up at the announce table and he says isn't this cute.  He tells Cody not to trust Randy.  He is not out here to show you love.  He is out here to steal your spotlight, just like he stole his spotlight at Wrestlemania.  Seth says he wants to let Cody in on a little secret.  Not everything is about you.  Seth says this is about Randy and he got in his best suit to celebrate 20 years.  Twenty years in the past.  You are not the present or the future of WWE.  He tells Cody he is not the present or future either.  

The next generation will not be inspired by a Nightmare or a Viper.  They will be inspired by Seth Rollins.

Ezekiel enters the ring and he says as one of the newer superstars around here, it would be the right time to say congratulations and introduce himself.  Ezekiel mentions he is Elias' younger brother.  He says he remembers watching Randy dominate with his brother.

Kevin Owens comes out and tells Randy he cannot let him lie to Randy.  If he walks like Elias and talks like Elias, he is Elias.  Kevin calls Ezekiel a lying piece of trash.  He says he will figure out how Ezekiel beat the lie detector test.

The Usos come out.

Jimmy says it has been two decades the Viper has been doing it.  Jey says they were watching Randy when they were 15.  Jimmy asks Jey if he has a favorite Randy Orton moment.  Jey says it will be when they beat Randy and Riddle at Backlash and unify the tag titles and prove that they are the greatest tag team.

Adam Pearce sees eight men in the ring and he says there will be match and it will be an eight man tag with Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and the Usos against Cody Rhodes, Ezekiel, and RK-Bro.

All eight men talk and Owens punches Ezekiel and Orton gives Owens an RKO.

We see Kane in the back talking to Bianca Belair as we go to commercial.

Sonya says Bianca cheated first so the match continues with No Disqualification or Count Out.

Match Number Three:  Sonya Deville versus Bianca Belair for the Raw Women's Championship in a No Count Out and No Disqualification Match

Sonya signals to the back and Carmella and Zelina Vega make their way to the ring.

We are back and Carmella holds Bianca for Sonya to punch Bianca.  Bianca fights her off and then kicks and punches Sonya.  Zelina climbs on Bianca's back and Sonya with a kick.  They Irish whip Bianca into the corner and then Sonya with a shoulder.  Zelina is sent to the apron and Carmella is sent to the floor.  Sonya misses a splash into the corner.  Bianca goes for the Glam Slam but Sonya rolls through and sends Bianca into the turnbuckles.  Sonya puts a chair in the center of the ring and Sonya with a DDT onto the chair.

Sonya gets a near fall.  Sonya puts a chair in the turnbuckles and Bianca sends Sonya into the chair.  Bianca knocks Zelina and Carmella off the apron.  Bianca with a KOD for the three count.

Edge is in the back with Damian Priest while Edge sits in his giant chair.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Carmella and Zelina are arguing and Sonya shows up and tells them since they didn't do their job, they lose their title match.

Carmella slaps Zelina and tries to slap Sonya but Sonya mentions she is an official (despite not having her I AM AN OFFICIAL OFFICIAL JACKET).  Sonya slaps Carmella.

We take a look at what Damian Priest and Edge did to AJ Styles last week.

Edge says it bears repeating that they look down on everyone from their Mountain of Omnipotence.  We kick them down the mountain.  Damian will finish things with Finn Balor.  We used to care about the people, like Volunteers fans or people who would vote for the current Knox County Mayor.  Edge says people are complaining about his suits, what he says, or the purple light.  The truth is that we are better than your favorites.  You need to choke it down because that statement is true.  

Speaking of your favorites, where is AJ Styles.  Is he going to use the jury duty excuse or is he back home nursing his shoulder.  Edge says he is coming for AJ.  You didn't hit your Phenomenal Forearm at Wrestlemania and you thought you would have won if you hit it.  Edge says he does not think AJ can hit the move with one arm.  He tells AJ he is in over his head and hug your kids with your one good arm.

Damian tells Finn he guilt has been determined and he is the punishment.  Your Judgment Day has arrived.

Match Number Four:  Veer Mahaan versus Sam Smothers

Veer with a boot to the head and an Irish whip and splash to the back.  Veer with a clothesline.  Veer with a seated splash to the back and the Cervical Clutch.  Smothers taps out.

Winner:  Veer Mahaan

After the match, Veer sends Smothers shoulder first into the ring post.  Veer applies the Cervical Clutch on the floor. Veer lets go and then he choke slams Smothers onto the announce table.  Veer leaps onto the announce table and he applies the Cervical Clutch on the announce table.

Bobby Lashley is in the back and Sarah asks about his preparation for an arm wrestling match.

Lashley says he knows he is stronger than Omos.  He does not trust Omos or MVP so he has to get ready if something else happens.
