It's nice to be wrong.

This guy turned to his girlfriend during The Bloodline's beatdown on Owens and mentioned hopeful "Randy! Randy! Randy!" chants. It seemed more plausible than The Street Profits would show remarkable powers of recovery to help KO out, but no - it was none other than Randy Orton who saved the day.

The Hydro lost its collective mind once 'Voices' hit. Seriously, that was pop of the night. This was Randy returning the favour to his tag-team partner by saving him from a Solo Sikoa-led beatdown. Glasgow was 100% ready for Orton to rush out and hit an RKO or two, but it sure seemed like some of the chanting was halfhearted.

Perhaps that's why the roof almost shot off the building when Randy did show up for the first time since King & Queen Of The Ring over in Saudi Arabia. SmackDown went off the air with Orton and Owens celebrating their united front against Solo's Bloodline 2.0.

We've been here before, but that was fun.
