A week after savagely assaulting Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton kicks off SmackDown LIVE.
The Viper has heard everyone’s theories of why he did what he did…
… including unfinished business with Hardy and being No. 9 on the SmackDown Top 10 List.
Orton blames the WWE Universe and claims he doesn’t get the respect he deserves as a 16-year vet.
The Apex Predator wonders if the reason he doesn’t get respect because he doesn’t paint his face or change the color of his gear every week or put his life on the line by diving off of cages, ladders and turnbuckles.
Orton thinks the true legend killer is each and every member of the WWE Universe.
The Viper promises that Hardy will never be back and promises to end The Charismatic Enigma’s career and to write Jeff Hardy’s “final chapter.”
Orton says he will one known by the three most destructive letters in sports-entertainment: R-K-O.
