RAW

Drew McIntyre is out to address WWE Universe after the incredible win against Randy Orton.

We see a recap of what happened last night when Drew McIntyre faced Randy Orton. 

Drew McIntyre asks for a thumbs up from everyone in the ThunderDome and the people respond. Drew McIntyre talks about how even after facing Randy Orton he was the WWE Champion. 

He says that he was hungrier than Orton and more ready than Orton to step up when it was required. Something that Randy did not have.

Drew McIntyre continues taking shots at Orton, but then says that he knows that Orton is the absolute best. However, at SummerSlam, Drew McIntyre was better than him. 

Drew reminds Randy saying that he had won the Greatest Wrestling Match ever and that he was the greatest wrestler ever. So after beating Randy now, Drew McIntyre is the best wrestler ever. 

Drew says he is ready for his next opponent but Randy would not be letting things go. If Orton steps up then he would do to Randy what he had not done at SummerSlam and kick his head off sending him to Claymore Country. 

Drew celebrates as he leaves but Randy Orton attacks him from behind. The two brawl and go to the backstage area where they are fighting. Orton rakes the eyes and then slams Drew into the wall, before the officials separate them, but Orton just hit the punt to the skull of Drew McIntyre. 

Orton is not done. He lines him up and hits another punt to the head of the Scottish star.


Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler 

The match ends in a DQ, with Shayna Baszler getting the DQ win because Nia Jax attacks Shayna Baszler. 

Shayna hits her with a flip but then Nia takes control. Sasha and Bayley leave the ring and Nia continues to assault Shayna. Bayley barks orders at Nia and it appears that Nia and Shayna put their differences aside. They charge at Sasha and Bayley. 


Kevin Owens is out for the KO show. He is bringing out Aleister Black now. 
Kevin Owens thanks him from being here and says that he is concerned about what happened to Black after he was shoved eye first into the steps by Murphy. 

Black says that it's time to show the footage of Murphy doing what he did. 

Kevin says that Seth made them question why they were even there at times and he knew that it was difficult. Aleister Black falls to the floor and then suddenly attacks Kevin Owens with an elbow and then a Black Mass.

Shelton Benjamin vs Cedric Alexander vs R-Truth vs Akira Tozawa for the 24/7 Championship

Akria Tozawa won and is the new 24/7 champion.



Randy Orton came out.

Randy Orton looks around at the booing fans and says that he has done what he wanted to do whenever he wanted to do it, but was not able to do so at SummerSlam. 

He talked about failing at SummerSlam, but he said that he was a man of his word. He talks about how he took out all the legends leading up to SummerSlam and that he is the Legend Killer. He said that he got the opportunity when Drew McIntyre came out and kicked him not once, but twice. 

He said it was twice because Drew offered him a rematch out of pity and Randy was no one to offer him anything out of pity. He says that he is the greatest. 

Keith Lee interrupted him.

Keith says he has not been introduced to Randy properly, he is Keith Lee and he is here to offer Randy the privilege to stop what he is doing and to bask in Lee's glory instead. 

Lee says that Randy Orton has been called many things - The Viper, Legend Killer, and quite a few things, but Keith Lee is Limitless.

He says that Randy is looking for a fight and since he is here on RAW, Lee offers to step up and face Randy Orton right here, right now.

Randy Orton does not agree and rolls out of the ring and leaves.
