10 Best Crowd Chants & Signs From WWE Battleground 2016

That wasn’t the only haircut criticism we had over the course of the night, though. Later on in the evening, Randy Orton returned to TV on Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel. And there, he wasn’t the most respectful of guests, dishing out an RKO but even more insultingly, criticising Jericho’s barnet.

Personally, I thought he’d go down the Bon Jovi tribute act route, but instead we heard Randy draw comparisons between Jericho’s ‘do and that of Ellen DeGeneres. And, as if like clockwork, the Washingston crowd responded by singing Ellen’s name throughout the arena—much to the chagrin of Y2J.

Most significantly though, was this a charismatic babyface Randy Orton we saw? I think it was, you know, and moreover I think it actually worked.

With many having clamoured for Orton to return as a heel, if he can chime in with this kind of banter—not to mention the “no enhancement needed” comment—then maybe good-guy Randy isn’t such a bad thing after all.
