RKBRO open the show
Orton: Last week the WWE Champ & MVP tried to take these titles off us and they failed miserably and I know why, its simple, Bob Lashley is nothing more than a greedy sob. Tonight, Riddle and I are gonna look at the other seven tag teams left on Raw and we’ll see which team deserves to be next in line to be beaten by RKBRO.
Riddle gets on the mic, says tonight is gonna be sick, he puts over the other teams, says they should take their gimmicks, he keeps going til Randy legit starts laughing over a joke about munchies and pancakes.
Lashley and MVP interrupt
MVP tells Riddle to shutup, says the WWE universe lose IQ points every second he talks, and instead of worrying about tag team turmoil, he needs to worry about Randy and Lashley
Lashley says face me one on one instead of hitting me from behind, so I can put you in the hurt lock
Orton says the challenge sounds interesting, it was a couple weeks ago when I saw you dominating that it’s been 10-15 years since we’ve gone one on one, and it got me thinking, I’ll accept your challenge on one condition, when we fight, you put that title on the line.
MVP says when Lashley hits you it won’t be out of nowhere, it’ll be for the title at extreme rules- Lashley then says hey hold on, we’re gonna go talk to Sonya and Pearce and get ourselves in this tag team turmoil and get us in this match WOW KOFI COMES OUT IN NASH GEAR
