Michael Cole : Here we go folks, a match for the ages right here, Randy Orton takes on Triple H. And what a match this will be! Orton turned on the fans earlier tonight and left a chilling threat to all the superstars in the back. He then went on to play mind games with the entire roster as his theme song hit during a few matches earlier tonight. Most memorably, the match between CM Punk and the big red machine, Kane.
Jerry Lawler : That's right, Kane was just about to hit the Chokeslam on CM Punk when Orton's theme filled the arena. Kane was distracted and took his attention off of Punk, who took complete advantage!
J.R : Advantage is right! Kane didn't expect that GTS at all! I'm sure that Kane will want some revenge against Orton for his mind games. But now, we go on to the match of the night in my opinion as we get to see Hunter beat some respect back into the viper!
