“I’m aware, but-“
“No more buts, Orton. You lost. Accept it.”
“I DEMAND RESPECT! I AM MAIN EVENT MATERIAL, SHANE!”
Shane looks at Randy for a moment. Shane slides out of the ring and walks up the ramp.
“Shane, get back here! I’m not done with you!”

“I’m done with YOU, Randy. But…”
He pauses and the crowd is silent.
“I’ve decided. You and Chris Jericho will fight tonight for the World Heavyweight Championship!”

“I know you want this.”

“But tonight, it’s not gonna happen. I’ll take you to hell and back if I have to, Orton. I’ll smash you through tables. I’ll hit you with chairs. I’ll crush your lungs with a ladder if I need to. But I can guarantee you and all yours fans that by the end of the night…This title…will be mine.”
