RAW kicks off with Randy Orton’s 20-year celebration
This week’s RAW started with a segment to celebrate Randy Orton’s unforgettable 20 years in the industry. WWE ran a video montage that featured his career highlights and achievements. Orton proceeded to deliver a promo, after which things got heated.
Cody Rhodes came out to congratulate his former Legacy stablemate, but Rollins interrupted their moment of embrace as he warned the Viper not to trust the American Nightmare. Subsequent interruptions by Ezekiel, Kevin Owens, and the Usos prompted WWE Official Adam Pearce to come out and book an 8-man tag team match for the main event.
