4 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE Raw (Sep 29)

4. Orton Gets Retribution

No no, not that Retribution (or RETRIBUTION).

Like it or hate it, the four legends Randy Orton took out during the course of this summer got their revenge on the Legend Killer at Clash of Champions, which would have been the perfect coda to this storyline.

Instead, we saw all four of them playing cards on Raw, only to get jumped in the dark by a night-vision-goggles-wearing Orton, leaving them laid out. Presumably, this will incense Drew McIntyre to accept a third world title match challenge despite beating Orton twice already.

And given Orton’s earlier promo about McIntyre not know what it’s like to go through hell, and the next PPV is Hell in a Cell… well, do the math. *yawn*
