– Tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw is opened with The Viper Randy Orton and he says people have been asking him all week why he has hit the RKO to Riddle. Orton says he just wanted to help Riddle. He continued that Riddle wants to be friends with Orton but there is a problem – he doesn’t need friends, he doesn’t need anybody.

Orton says that he would have defeated AJ Styles last week, with or without any help. He brings up his World Title wins and says he had won all of this by his own and he doesn’t need any help. He is Randy Orton, The Viper, The Apex Predator, and Monday Night RAW is still his territory. Orton says Omos is a monster, not to be taken lightly, an undefeated force of nature, but also a bit of a jackass. Orton wonders what he’s going to do and says he’s gotten himself into a mess. Orton knows what he’s going to do, he will hit Omos with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment, R-K-… the music interrupts and out comes Riddle.

Riddle says Orton is right and he doesn’t need explain anyone as he knows why he hit RKO to him last week. Riddle says that he have been using RKOs in Orton’s honor but Riddle wasn’t doing right, so, Orton teach him a lesson.

But music hits, here comes Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos.

AJ further says last week’s win meant nothing but no one can save Orton from Omos tonight as Omos will de-fang The Viper. AJ says why should Omos get to have all the fun? AJ is tired of Riddle and everyone else saying “Bro!” all the time and challenges Riddle for a match. Riddle accepts. Riddle says he’s unstoppable with Orton in his corner. Riddle challenges AJ to come to the ring and take a thrashing, on behalf of R-K-O.

Goldberg says his son is the reason why he came out of retirement, and his son can get online these days to see who his dad was but that won’t cut it. He needs his son front & center to see who Goldberg is, who his father, is. But music interrupts and here comes out the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and MVP.

MVP talks about how Goldberg has been doing a lot of talking which is different because he usually lets his actions do the talking. MVP says Goldberg is over-compensating for something, because he sees he’s under-matched. MVP continued and talks about how Goldberg locked eyes with Lashley and saw it was going to be different this time because for the first time he’s ran down on some one more dangerous, more explosive, more dominant than Goldberg.
