Randy Orton makes his way to the ring. Orton says he told the world that he would jump through whatever hoops he needed to get to the WWE Championship again. This is a rematch he should have automatically had. He beat Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and Keith Lee. Now he has to face Keith Lee again. The more they cross paths, the closer Lee gets to being kicked in the head. He could go over the long list of people he has kicked in the head, but Raw only runs for three hours.
Orton directs his attention to Drew McIntyre. WWE stated it would be Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions… if Drew McIntyre recovers in time. Seems like someone doesn’t think McIntyre will make it to Clash. If someone were to ask Orton why McIntyre might not make it to Clash of Champions, he’d tell them the truth: he kicked Drew in the freakin’ head and broke his jaw.
