RAW Report 5/11/09 Columbus, Ohio

RAW this week starts with music and pyro.

Lilian (in a hot red top and black mini) announces Orton who comes out with his normal bad attitude. Of course Legacy in tow. They stop on the stage, Orton has a mic in hand. He says the McMahon’s pride themselves in listening to the fans. What they need to do is stop listening and stop acting like us. We don’t fight back from adversity. We sit there and take it. Life beats us down and we stay beaten down. Why? Because we’re all cowards. We pay to live our lives through people like him. We pay to watch him do the things we do. Like last week when he put an end to the McMahon era. Video of Shane crashing through the announce table and then Orton beating the hell out of Shane’s ankle with a chain on the steps numerous times. They’re now in the ring. Orton says we need to recognize the company revolves around him. The rest of the WWE needs to realize it too, especially Batista. Earlier today Vicki announced no physical contact between him and Batista until JD. Just because they can’t touch doesn’t mean they can’t talk. Batista wants to hear what Orton has to say… He invites Batista to the ring. Batista’s music and he comes out to the ring. Orton tells Batista something he and the fans already know deep down inside… “Batista” chants. Batista smirks. Batista won’t win this WWE Championship. Not this Sunday, not ever. He wants to give Batista an opportunity. “You suck” chants. He wants to give Batista an opportunity. Before Batista says no, he needs to know no one has gotten this chance if they’re not second or third generation. He invites Batista into Legacy. Ted says he knows Batista is still mad about being punted, but it’s the best thing that happened to his career. It was a wake up call. It could happen to Batista too. Orton says that when they were in Evolution they were un-stoppable, but HHH held them back. But he took out HHH. They could be bigger than the Four Horsemen, bigger than DX, bigger than Evolution. Orton says he’ll be the Champion, but at least Batista will be on the winning team. Arn Anderson – one of the best of all time was at Flair’s side for ten years. He was Flair’s enforcer. He wants to give Batista the opportunity to be Orton’s enforcer. Batista says it seems like a great opportunity. Everything Orton said makes perfect sense. There’s just one problem… I don’t like you. Batista takes that back and says he despises Orton. Then he takes that back and says he loathes Orton! The fans go wild. He’s never been and will never be Orton’s backup. Batista says he’s not there to help Orton, he’s there to hurt Orton. There’s nothing he can do to stop him. Orton screams he made the biggest mistake of his life. He’s lucky there’s a no contract ruling or he’d drop Batista. Batista says he’s tired of listening to Orton and Ted and Cody and Vicki. He’s tired of waiting (he botched this line and laughed). He doesn’t think Vicki will call off the main event at JD, so there’s nothing keeping him from destroying Orton tonight. Vicki’s on the stage yelling “Excuse me”. Chavo is with her. She asked if she was called predictable? She’s waving that rule now. She doesn’t care if they tear each other up. She’s fine with that. She doesn’t care what condition they’re in, but there will be a Championship Match at JD. In the mean time, things will get interesting. Tonight will be Batista against Ted and Cody. If Legacy wins there will be a Three On One Handicap Match. If Batista wins we’ll have JD early. Orton needs to leave the ring as this match happens next.
