Randy Orton confronted Triple H on WWE Raw

HHH returned to the squared circle on WWE Raw to welcome the audience. Soon afterwards, Randy Orton interrupted him, demanding the WWE Championship given Drew McIntyre’s unavailability (he tested positive for COVID-19). If not that, he wanted to be the last one to enter the 30-man match at Royal Rumble.

When Hunter denied him the opportunity and accused him of constantly disrespecting and hurting legends, ‘The Legend Killer’ asked for a match with HHH instead. A reasonable Hunter did not accept this challenge and Orton started taking shots at his family. This is when ‘The Game’ snapped and punched Orton.
