Randy Orton is back, and ready to handle some unfinished business.
During tonight’s episode of WWE RAW, Orton returned to the ring following his return at Survivor Series. In a long statement to open up the show, Orton said that he was glad to be back and glad to see he was missed. He also said that he plans on sticking around as long as he can, and said that while he was happy to help Cody Rhodes, he also had some “unfinished business” with none other than The Bloodline.
While Orton said he might be able to forgive some, he can’t forget, and he said he’s got a “bag” of receipts for every member of The Bloodline, and that includes Jey Uso. Before he could say more, though, he was interrupted by Rhea Ripley, who came out and mocked him for coming back, as well as having his highly anticipated return ruined by CM Punk.
Ripley said The Bloodline is no more, and it’s The Judgment Day that runs things. Ripley then blamed Orton for ruining what would have been Damian Priest’s chance at winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and said they would get revenge on Orton as a result.
Orton told Ripley that he’s been watching RAW every week since he’s been out, and has heard Ripley being called “mommy” by everyone. However, he wanted Ripley to know that “daddy’s back” now, before Orton was ambushed by Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Orton would eventually clear them out, and a match was set between himself and Dominik.
