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.

Post that, he remembered the legends and Hall of Famers he punted. As Orton said, ambulances represent hope and despair but to the Viper, it alludes to his 14th World title. He ended the segment with a powerful statement, promising to make Drew’s career go on a ride in the ambulance.
WWE has built the McIntyre-Orton storyline tremendously and we can’t wait to see who takes the ambulance ride at the Clash of Champions 2020.
