The Beast and The
Viper are going to war again. Just more than a week after a controversial TKO
loss to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Randy Orton confirmed on Twitter that he
will receive a rematch against The Conqueror at the WWE Live Event in Chicago,
Illinois, Saturday, Sept. 24.
The match at
SummerSlam was arguably Lesnar’s most savage performance since returning to WWE
in 2012, and one of the most agonizing defeats for The Apex Predator in some
time. The Beast laid into Orton with a barrage of strikes that busted him open
and forced WWE officials to call the match off, awarding the victory to Lesnar.
MORE UPDATE
Orton received 10
staples as a result of Lesnar’s assault, and The Beast was fined by Raw
Commissioner Stephanie McMahon for his actions. Hopefully, Lesnar has his
checkbook ready for “The Rematch.” Come to think of it, Orton might want to set
a few dollars aside, too. He does not take well to being upstaged, and it’s
just as likely that The Beast ends up on the receiving end of some ruthless
aggression this time around.
