WWE Champion Triple H def. Umaga (Non-title) (Disqualification) Although Randy Orton set the stipulation on Monday Night Raw that Triple H could not touch him without being provoked until their epic encounter at WrestleMania, that didn’t stop “Legacy” from coming after The Game this Friday. After The King of Kings had hurled Umaga over the top rope and onto the floor, Orton, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes emerged from the crowd, stalking the ring like a pack of wolves. Once they moved in, the 13-time World Champion launched a fierce counter-offensive, trying to hold off Legacy both in and outside the ring. But his dangerous adversaries were unrelenting, finishing their target off with four vicious kicks to the head by Orton, leaving Triple H completely annihilated.
This week Triple H moves down to the #3 position of the Power 25.
It is now official that The King of Kings will defend his title against Randy Orton at WrestleMania. All The Game has to do now is make it to WrestleMania and he will have his opportunity to exact revenge on Orton.
Jim Ross has a new blog entry up, here are some of the highlights:
On HHH vs. Orton: The HHH-Orton segment was money. Plain and simple...this piece of business sold PPV's. Personal issues have always been the foundation of wrestling and this matter is the most personal issue in WWE in years. The challenge will be to build from Monday night but that is certainly doable. This issue also helps HHH's Friday Night Smackdown broadcast of which I have a vested interest.
Randy Orton decided to face WWE Champion Triple H at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, stipulating that The Game may not touch him until then
Arriving with a full entourage including his “Legacy,” a group of lawyers and a team of security, Randy Orton took to the ring on Monday night to make a huge announcement regarding the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Defying the WWE Universe’s expectations, the 2009 Royal Rumble winner announced that he would not be facing WWE Champion Triple H, but would instead challenge the winner of the World Heavyweight Title Match between John Cena and Edge, scheduled for later that evening. Furthermore, the Legend Killer stated his plans to press charges against The Game for his sledgehammer assault the week prior.
As if on cue, the WWE Champion himself appeared and entered the ring. Triple H taunted Orton, stating that he doesn’t have what it takes to face him and even calling the young Superstar gutless for refusing to challenge him – an act The Cerebral Assassin claims that the third-generation Superstar desperately wants to commit. Giving in to the pressure, Orton changed his mind, deciding that he would face Triple H at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania for the WWE Title, stipulating that if the WWE Champion lays his hands on him before then, that he would move forward with the aforementioned criminal charges. After The Game agreed to these conditions, it was Orton’s turn to do the taunting as he described to Triple H how good it felt when he RKO’d his wife, Stephanie. Though The Cerebral Assassin kept his agreement not to touch Orton, he promised that when they meet, he’ll break the Legend Killer’s neck.
This week Triple H stays at the #2 position of the Power 25.
After what happened to his wife Stephanie McMahon, and her brother Shane, at the hands of Randy Orton, the WWE Champion is on the warpath and will not rest until he gets revenge on the Legend Killer.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After Randy Orton’s brutal attack on Shane and Stephanie McMahon last week, and Stephanie’s husband WWE Champion Triple H’s intense interview on SmackDown, the WWE Universe was on the edge of their seats when Raw came to Nashville. Though he was willing to speak on the subject on Friday night, The Game arrived on Raw in no mood for, well … games, as he proceeded to attack Orton as well as his two associates, chasing them from the arena with a flurry of attacks from his trusty sledgehammer.
WWE Champion Triple H arrived on Raw, attacked Randy Orton and his “Legacy” and chased them away from the arena Randy Orton, holding Triple H’s signature weapon, a sledgehammer, took to the ring, flanked by Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. The 2009 Royal Rumble winner denied culpability for his actions against the Chairman, Shane and Stephanie McMahon, but his excuses were interrupted by The Game's entrance. The WWE Champion carried a sledgehammer with him as he made his way down to the ring, but was stopped on the apron by Orton, who suggested they both drop their weapons to settle the issue like men.
Both Superstars discarded their sledgehammers, but to Orton’s surprise, living up to his moniker, The Cerebral Assassin, Triple H revealed a second sledgehammer which had been taped to his back. The Legacy members attempted to get away from the enraged WWE Champion, who managed to deal out a crushing blow to Rhodes as Orton and DiBiase ran to the locker room area. The two third-generation Superstars locked themselves in Orton’s room, which provided a few moments of protection as The Game broke the door open. Triple H managed to hit DiBiase, and barely missed Orton as the two escaped to their waiting car and made their getaway with Cody Rhodes.
WWE announced on last nights SmackDown that Triple H will be at Monday's live RAW from Nashville, TN to confront Randy Orton after the attack on Stephanie McMahon last week. Triple H did a sit-down interview with Jim Ross on this week's show where he talked about Vince and Shane being his family members and Stephanie being his wife and the mother of his children. WWE ran promos towards the end of SmackDown saying Triple H was headed to RAW to "hunt the Legend Killer.
This week Triple H moves down to the #3 position of the Power 25.
