The Viper Randy Orton, who has had a lot of explaining to do following his shock attack on Edge in January this year, yet again appeared on the finale of Raw
Beth Phoenix, who is Edge's wife, appeared on WWE Raw as she was scheduled to give the WWE Universe an update on her husband's health.
Beth Phoenix reached where no one yet had, getting Randy Orton to explain his actions. Orton went on to explain that he took out Edge to repay his favour. Instead of Edge going through an injury yet again, Randy Orton wanted him to stay away from the ring and hence did what he had to.
Randy Orton appeared as he and Beth Phoenix immediately got into a tussle of words. As Randy began to blame Beth for Edge's current scenario, the Glamazon slammed Orton and kicked him.
Obviously this enraged the Viper as Randy Orton immediately replied with a vicious RKO to Beth Phoenix that left the WWE Raw arena stunned! Why would Orton do that? What is his motive now? Will we see Edge return for payback next week?
