Shawn Michaels returned to WWE Raw on Monday and things went about as expected for the Heartbreak Kid.
Michaels was on Raw to address the actions of Randy Orton last week when he hit a low blow on Ric Flair and then scored with the punt kick, though the lights went out as the kick landed. On Monday, Michaels warned Orton ahead of SummerSlam and his match against Drew McIntyre.
Michaels said Orton would see the Claymore kick coming at SummerSlam, but Michaels did not see the RKO coming on Raw. Following the RKO, Orton hit Michaels with the punt kick, though Michaels was more or less on his feet shortly after with the help of a referee and McIntyre.
For his troubles, McIntyre was also hit with the RKO.
#TheViper just PUNTED @ShawnMichaels!
