Randy Orton comes out to a large chorus of boo's from the RAW crowd. Orton has the World Heavyweight title on his shoulder. Orton slowly makes his way to the ring, he is in a suit, and already has a microphone in his hand.
"In recent weeks...the Billion Dollar Army has been trying to contact me to take out Triple H for them...but since Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon have been let out of the hospital, and Stephanie McMahon is out from jail, I think they have plenty of other people to worry about, because Triple H was my problem before he was the Army's, and in fact, tonight, Ric Flair invited me to RAW to end this little thing with Triple H once and for all." Orton says.
"As you know, last night I made history in cashing in my Royal Rumble victory early by winning the World title, which means there must be a new number one contender for my world title at Wrestlemania, and if Triple H wants to step up to the plate so be it...but I don't agree with the fact that I lose any type of title that I worked hard to earn, and I'm not going to let anyone in the WWE go around with MY Royal Rumble victory." Orton continues, getting much heat from the crowd.
"Triple H, tonight, whenever you get to the ring this message will be sent to you by someone from the production crew...Triple H, I want to face you at Wrestlemania, for the World Heavyweight Championship, but there is something else that I want to get done tonight, tonight...I want to challenge Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship, and become the first Undisputed WWE Champion since the belt was divided into these two championships. Jeff Hardy! Jeff Hardy, I'm using my Royal Rumble victory to challenge you TONIGHT!" Orton says, and then he waits.
Christian comes out to a loud pop from the crowd. Christian is in street clothes and also has a microphone ready to talk. Orton glares at Christian as he makes his way into the ring. Christian poses on the top rope to get a large reaction from the crowd.
"Randy Orton...haven't actually had the chance to talk to you in years...I think the last time I remember talking to you was after you were bitching and whining for being thrown out of Evolution." Christian says, making Randy Orton turn away and shake his head.
"You think you can come to Monday Night RAW, with Wrestlemania only weeks away, and demand a title match with my Wrestlemania opponent...Randy Orton, I think i'll speak for the WWE Champion when I say this, hell no." Christian says. Orton gets in Christian's face.
"Christian Cage, I will take you out of Wrestlemania if you don't close that running mouth of yours, thats right, I'll RKO you right here onto this mat, and then punt you right in the SKULL, and take you out of actions for a few more months, maybe I'll end your career, do you want that to happen Christian?" Orton screams.
"If you don't stop spitting all over my face, I think i'll take you down to the mat first, if you want to get to Jeff Hardy, you have to get through me, i'm the number one contender, and you are the Smackdown champion, you have no business here on RAW demanding a title shot...do I have to repeat myself some more so you can get it Randy?" Christian says. Orton smirks and sets down his world title.
"Christian...if I have to get through you...so be it." Orton says and swings at Christian with the microphone. Christian ducks and hits Orton with his own microphone. Orton stumbles back and gets out of the ring. Christian picks up the World Heavyweight Championship and places it on his shoulder.
Orton doesn't get back in the ring but screams at Christian to put his title down, Christian shakes his head and holds the world title over his head. Christian's theme plays as Orton slowly walks backstage, an evil glare fixed onto Christian.

"Who am I trying to fool, I want to kick your ass, and i'm going to so I can win the World Heavyweight Championship, just like I did a few years ago in Evolultion!" Triple H yells, and the crowd pops really loudly, and Orton glares at The Game.
"I'm glad you and I are seeing eye-to-eye Triple H, but you see, its going to be your job to get my title back, because there is no way in hell that i'm letting Christian come to Smackdown, so next week, how about we have a little Triple H vs. Christian Cage?" Orton asks.
"You know that if I get that title in my hands Randy, I won't let it go, and even if I lose at Wrestlemania, that belt will still be in my hands at the end of the night." Triple H says, and the crowd pops even louder. "I say that you just get your title back next week on your own, when you will have a rematch against Christian...but since he beat you tonight, that'll make it a title match next week, won't it?" Triple H says, the crowd pops again.
"Yes...it would make it a title match, but he got lucky tonight, and I know for sure he won't get so lucky again, so next week, I will defend my title against Christian, I'll retain, then I'll beat your skull in at Wrestlemania...just like I did to the old man." Orton adds in.
