Tokyo, Japan (August 21st, 2010) Randy Orton beat Wade Barrett.
Barrett came out first and cut a great promo, saying he’d been studying some Japanese. The crowd disagreed with his assessments of ‘Nexus-ichiban’ (number one) and ‘Japan-not ichiban.’ His lessons amounted to one word then. Barrett said he was sending out an open challenge and Orton obliged. They had about twelve minutes of a normal Orton match, solid if unspectacular. Toward the end, Otunga came out to interfere, but a miscue led to the Nexus members butting heads and Orton landing the RKO. He followed up with an emphatic second RKO before scoring the pin, which might not say good things about Nexus going forward. Barrett definitely looked comfortable with the big star though.

Afterward, Sheamus got a chair and tried to hit Orton with it, but Orton ducked and hit the RKO for a huge buzz from the crowd.

John Cena, Triple H & Shawn Michaels b. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes.
This was funny from the get go. DX came out everyone was on their feet. They did their are you ready bit. Then HHH ripped into the ring announcer for being ill all night on the way down to Newcastle and tells everyone to give him a smack in the head. His mic is still cutting out all the time. Before HBK could do his if your not down with that bit Cena’s music played and he came out. Cena was the big fan favourite of the little kids. The Ortons music starts to play. HHH gets the mic and tells Randy to stay in the back. He then starts ripping into the sound guy called Ralf, getting him to stand up, for making a mess of the intros and the mics and invites everyone to go a smack him in the head too. He then begs HBK to do the if your not down with that promo. Legacy comes out and they get in the ring and start talking and laughing with Cena and DX. The match gets under way. Not to bad a match and then you found out why they were laughing.HBK tries to roll up Ted Dibiase and pulls down his trunks shown his ass. Then Orton and Rhodes get in to help him and Cena and HHH do the same to them. Basically there were 3 guys running round the ring with their asses out and HHH, HBK and Cena laughing their heads off. Later the finish came with Legacy clearing the ring and Hornswoggle comes out of nowhere. He gives Orton Sweet Shin Music and Orton sells it like crazy. DX and Cena get in the ring and give Orton, DiBiase and Rhodes they’re own finishers saving Hornswoggle.

A great match that showed a lot of promise for their current feud. Kofi got a lot of offence in and looked to have Orton beaten on multiple occasions. Orton ended up winning after Kofi missed with the Trouble In Paradise, and walked into an RKO out of nowhere. Kofi got a big reaction from the crowd after this match.

Triple H and The Undertaker vs. Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes
Triple H is out first and gets an enormous reaction, entrance is great live. Shortly followed by The Undertaker who’s cheers was on a par with HHH. Legacy out next and they got alot of boos from the younger audience, but alot of cheers from older members of the crowd. Before the bell can start, Triple H attacks Orton and Orton goes running up the ramp and back through the curtain, leaving it as a 2 on 2 matchup for the time being. Positive start for HHH/Taker controlling DiBiase and Rhodes, but Rhodes and DiBiase gain control on HHH for a good five minutes at least, with lots of close tags but no cigar for HHH. Undertaker is pacing up and down the apron and picks up a bottle of water and pours it over himself going mad, still reaching out for the tag. Finally gets the tag few minutes later and clears house. Fight breaks to the outside again and DiBiase and HHH fight up the rampway, where Orton returns and attacks HHH from behind and rejoins his team. Great matchup, Orton got his RKO in on Undertaker and went for the punt to the head on HHH but missed, and shortly after HHH chased him away and he disappeared through the curtain yet again, and wasnt seen again. Triple H and Undertaker finished off DiBiase and Rhodes with the Pedigree and Tombstone respectively. Both posed in the ring for a while, Taker first with the lights dimmed down and purple, then Undertaker disappeared and it was Triple H’s turn, and then tagged hands with the crowd on the way to the back to end the show.

Belfast, Ireland – November 13th Houseshow / Randy Orton & Chris Jericho vs. Batista & Rey Mysterio
BEST MATCH 11/10 Soon after the bell there was high flying from Mysterio and some really rough fighting from Batista. The fight went out of the ring at one point but soon after Rey Mysterio did his finisher 619 on both Chris Jericho and Randy Orton….. to finish the match off … Batista did his finisher on Randy Orton “Batista bomb”… and that was it….. the place was in uproar

Batista won via DQ after a Orton run in, Jericho and Orton beat down Batista, CM Punk ran in for the save. As Orton and Jericho made their way out they were challenged to a tag match, Jericho / Orton Vs Punk and Batista. Punk + Batista won after Batista bombed Jericho.

Birmingham, England – November 11th Houseshow / Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio
Two huge pops for these two, Rey pics up the win with a 619 and frog splash, Randy botches the beginning of the 619 by facing the second rope the wrong way round but manages to adjust and take it properly at the last second. Some great spots in this match with a moonsault and many outstanding reversals, took me back to the Wrestlemania 22 main event (if just Kurt were there!!!) Standing ovation for Randy as he walks back through the curtain
