The 4 January 2010 episode of Raw has gone down in history for a few reasons. Firstly, it marked the WWE comeback of Bret Hart. Secondly, it was the end of Kofi Kingston's main event aspirations; he quasi-botched the finish to a match with Randy Orton, leading 'The Viper' to loudly shout, "Stupid".

Orton and Kofi harked back to that on SmackDown.

Randy was even wearing the exact same ring gear he had on nine years ago. That's amazing, and it sent a shiver up one's spine to hear him tell fans, "He's not your guy, trust me", then spit another "Stupid" at Kingston.

Heel Randy is the best Randy.
