Randy Orton punts Shawn Michaels on RAW
This week’s edition of Monday Night RAW saw the return of WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to the Red Market. The Heartbreak Kid was at the WWE Performance Center to address Randy Orton after The Legend Killer strangely stood in the skull to close last week’s episode of RAW.
After Shawn Michaels slammed a hearty promo over The Viper’s recent actions, HBK suggested that Randy Orton could have some Sweet Chin Music if a Claymore came his way at SummerSlam.
Once again Shawn Michaels was chatting, Randy Orton snuck up behind the WWE Hall of Famer and dropped him with an RKO before Shawn Michaels fell maliciously in the head. This adds Shawn Michaels to the list of WWE legends like The Nature Boy, Edge, Christian and The Big Show who have fallen prey to Randy Orton’s evil prey.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre came out to make the rescue and get some medical assistance for Shawn Michaels. However, when Drew McIntyre turned his back and checked on the well-being of Shawn Michaels, the Scottish psychopath would also fall for an RKO of the no. 1 trailer to the WWE Championship.
