Recap of Orton’s promo last week.
McIntyre is backstage and is asked about the experience difference ahead of their Hell In a Cell match. He asks for the mic, and Drew calls Orton the most selfish individual in WWE, and he talks about the method to Orton’s madness by attacking the four legends. He took advantage of Drew’s anger problem.
Against any other superstar, Orton’s experience would win him over, but Drew has defended the title with honor and respect, and Orton doesn’t deserve either, and he’ll go through hell to retain the title. He’s dressed in black as if he’s getting ready for a funeral, and maybe he is. He might even pay Orton a little visit ahead of his interview later tonight.
