After last week, Randy “legend killer” Orton earned his place as the number one contender for McIntyre’s championship. However, due to his injuries, Keith Lee was in line to replace Orton in the match.
Before the match, McIntyre said everything was business, and Lee and him will laugh about this in the future. But right now, his focus was on the title. McIntyre kept trying to finish the match with back-to-back Claymore kicks.
Despite initial setbacks, the ‘Limitless one’ was also fighting back. After a failed Spirit Bomb, McIntyre connected his Claymore kick to knock Lee out. However, Orton appeared out of nowhere and hit an RKO to the Scottish Psychopath.
