Randy Orton makes his way to the ring.

We see what happened last week with Randy Orton and Gunther, with an assist from Drew McIntyre.

Randy says they sound mighty froggy tonight.  He says it has been a minute since he has done this and he wants to soak it all in as he welcomes everyone to Raw.  He says the next time he makes that introduction, he will be a 15 time champion.  This match in Berlin is for the World Championship.  It could have been about the legacy of the title, but Gunther had to make it personal.  That makes Randy want to beat Gunther's ass more.  When Gunther couldn't help but talk to his father and grandfather, then he turned his back on him and Randy says he had to hit Gunther with an RKO.

Gunther's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Gunther says all he needs Randy to do, as well as the people in the building, is to . . . shut up and listen to what he has to say.  He tells Randy to look at him.  He wants to know what Randy is celebrating here.  Is he celebrating Gunther turning his back on Randy and being given an RKO?  He tells Randy to celebrate it because it is the only celebrating he is going to do.  The only thing you achieved is that you made this very very personal.  

Gunther wants to know why the people are chanting USA.  Is this how you verbalize support for Orton?  If you are hyped to see Randy give him another RKO, he came here to let Randy know that it is never going to happen again.  Since everybody is aware of how dangerous the RKO is, he is left with no other option than to leave Randy a bloody mess.  He will leave Randy exposed for what he is.  A very successful, but very underachieving one trick pony.

Randy says Gunther keeps running his mouth and it will be so much more uncomfortable flying to Berlin.  Eight hours with a size fifteen boot shoved up your ass.  That is a size 15 boot double extra wide.

Gunther puts the belt down between him and Randy.

Ludwig Kaiser turns Randy around and Randy punches Kaiser and clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor.  

Orton avoids a chop and Kaiser clips Orton and Gunther with a clothesline.

We take a look at Sheamus and Pete Dunne building into tonight's match.

Jackie Redmond is with Sheamus in Gorilla and she asks him about his match against Pete Dunne and his injured hand.

Sheamus mentions that Dunne attacked his hand with his own shillelagh and he says there will be retribution.  He knows that Pete will come after his hand but he has travelled many miles and has a lot of tricks for Dunne.

We are back and Randy Orton faces Ludwig Kaiser in the main event.
