WWE does a great tribute to the St. Louis Area legends.
WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton v. Jinder Mahal (c)
Jinder’s got some heat. Orton’s theme song plays and his hometown explodes. Randy’s over here, thank God. This is the first time in a while where Randy has some energy. His dad is at ringside. Let’s see if “Cowboy” Bob O
rton gets involved. The crowd is big into Orton. They even chanted along with his ring introduction. The crowd booed Mahal out of the building.
Orton is hot out of the gate, taking it to Jinder. Let’s see if Jinder can keep up with Orton. Orton throws Mahal out of the ring and the crowd chants “USA! USA!”. Orton is all over Mahal. The fight is outside of the ring now. Orton beating up Mahal on the announce tables. Orton throws Mahal back into the ring. Mahal throws Orton over the top rope and lands funny on his leg. Mahal is on that hurt knee like a dog on table scraps. Orton is trying to get away from Mahal to try to heal up his hurt knee.
Orton gets away and is outside the ring. Orton is able to throw Mahal into the laps of the WWE Legends. Mahal takes control of the match again and slams Orton’s knee into the announce desk. Mahal is seriously taking control of this match. Orton is down. The crowd is hating on Mahal! Orton attempts the RKO and fails, Mahal hits a superkick. Mahal points to Ric Flair and locks in the Figure Four Leg Lock.
Orton gets a roll up two count, Mahal takes control of the match again. Mahal sets up a super plex, Orton gets out of it. Orton gets up a super plex and hits it! Tribute to his father.
Mahal and Orton go back and forth with uppercuts. Orton finally gets control of the match and hits a DDT off the second rope (VINTAGE ORTON!). Orton is setting up for the RKO! He connects with the RKO and gets a two count after the Singh brothers grab Mahal’s foot and got it on the rope. The referee kicks the Singh brothers out of the arena.
The Singh brothers go after Cowboy Bob Orton and Orton is able to get to the Singh brothers before something happened. Randy Orton tries to put the Singh Brothers through a table. I like how the referee helps clear the table. Orton hits the RKO on the outside of the ring. Orton hits an RKO throught he table on the other Singh brother! Unfortunetly, Mahal got to recover and hits his finish for a three count.
Winner: AND STILL WWWE CHAMPION, Jinder Mahal
