Randy Orton’s music suddenly interrupted and Orton slowly walked to the ring with Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes. Orton came right up to the man in charge of the velvet rope and demanded entrance into the Lounge. Orton didn’t even need to say a word, as he let his eyes do his talking. Good piece of advice for you club-hopping readers. Just stare ‘em down with the Orton Eyes.
Orton said the three of them are nothing more than low-life street thugs. Orton said Henry stole a victory last week. He said MVP is the definition of a common criminal. Meanwhile, Kofi should be in jail for what he did to his car. Orton said that stock car was custom-made and the only reason why he hasn’t pressed charges is because he wants to embarrass Kofi at Survivor Series. Cody addressed Kofi that this isn’t very VIP hanging around with a disgruntled wrestler and an ex-con. DiBiase said it’s not very VIP with pleather couches and a $50 bottle of champagne. Orton said they were born in this industry while the only place Kofi, Henry, and MVP belong is the hood where they came from. Kofi took exception and stepped to Orton. He slapped him across the face, which drew oohs from the crowd. Orton did his “should I kill him, should I wait, should I keep teasing inner thoughts of confusion and torment?” stance before they suddenly cut to break.
Mark Henry (w/Kofi Kingston and MVP) vs. Randy Orton (w/Legacy)
Match started in progress with Henry squeezing Orton with a bear hug. Orton then blocked a corner attack and put Henry on the mat to begin the Orton Stomp attack. Henry got a second wind and sent Orton to the corner where he landed successive headbutts that wobbled Orton. MVP told Henry to finish him off, but Orton suddenly struck with the RKO out of nowhere for the pin and the win.
Post-match: Cody and Ted gleefully clapped it up while Kofi paced the sidelines with his hands on his hips. Kofi checked on Henry in the ring, then Orton snuck back into the ring. Orton slapped Kofi, but Kofi punched him right back and Orton rolled to the outside. Legacy held Orton back as Orton went IED wanting another piece of Kofi. Camera with heavy focus on Orton and Kofi, who told Orton to come get a piece of him. Orton just huffed and puffed on the outside.
Winner: Orton in 5:00. Right finish with Orton winning. Orton has consistently been in PPV main events for five years, so it wouldn’t make sense to knock him down a peg if they’re going to elevate Kofi in this program. Good focus in the post-match with Kofi and Orton on the back-and-forth camera shots.
