Randy Orton keeps rolling.
On the August 19th episode of WWE Raw, Randy Orton was confronted by World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Gunthet told Orton that "The Viper" would never RKO him again after Orton caught him with one on the August 12th episode of WWE Raw. Ludwig Kaiser then attacked Orton, and the Imperium duo weakened Orton's leg. Orton went on to face Kaiser in the main event.
Gunther was at ringside for the match, and his presence distracted Orton. Kaiser capitalized and targeted Orton's leg. But the former world champion showed his veteran expertise and continued to control the match.
