On Aug. 16, 2004, as suggested in their signature Motφrhead anthem, Evolution drew a line in the sand … at the expense of newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton.
Following a severe bruising at the hands of Triple H, Ric Flair and Batista, the biggest 24 hours in the career of WWE’s youngest-ever World Champion became WWE.com's No. 8 Hardest Hitting Betrayal in history.
Years before the “Age of Orton” first dawned, the Legend Killer rode into SummerSlam 2004 solo and without any assistance from his cohorts found himself the proud bearer of the much-coveted World Heavyweight Title. Though he seemed to have the support of Evolution in this critical championship match and the supposed blessing of The Game, the next night on Raw told a much different tale.
On pay-per-view, the Legend Killer actually birthed a brand-new legend in himself, and he solidified his conquest with a successful title defense on Monday Night Raw. After personally involving themselves in the contest, Evolution immediately engulfed the winded champion, distributing congratulatory hugs and high-fives.
