Chapter 4:Redemption The next Monday on RAW Randy Orton stood in an empty locker room. Cena had just came in as Orton was sitting with his head down. "Wassup Randy? " No response. "Look man, I'm very impressed that you cleaned house on Friday. That was real great." Cena kept going.

"I wasn't doing it for anybody but myself John. If you think for one minute that I'm on your side, then you need to re analyze. Get out of my face, leave me alone." "Alright whatever man... " Cena left sighing.

Meanwhile that night Triple H was very frustrated in his office as Paul Heyman sat in front of him. "Look, I'm sorry it will not happen again sir. "Heyman apologized. "I thought you and Lesnar were my backups. You and Brock were supposed to be there! I'm very disappointed, but tonight you and your client better be ready because tonight Randy Orton will face one of my newest authority members in an extreme rules match."
"We'll be ready to back you !"Heyman said assured. "Good, " Triple H continued.
"But chances are he might not even need your help. "

Tables and chairs, kendo sticks and pipes surrounded the ring as Randy Orton made his way out to the ring at the end of the night, feeling confident and ready to fight whoever his opponent might be. He grabbed a microphone to speak out of. "Hunter, whoever your newest 'minion' might be, just know that no matter what happens, at Night of Champions I'm bringing back the WWE Heavyweight title back home with me. You'll realize pretty quickly that you're not as sly as me. Bring it on. "

There was a long pause as Orton waited impatiently.

"Wellll... Well it's the Big Show! "blasted the arena and out came the 400+ pounder coming out clapping and taunting the fans. He smiled and pointed at Randy, but Randy showed no sign of fear. The bell rung and throughout the beginning of the match Randy was being dominated by the big show with big moves. The crowd was surprised Orton was able to get up as fast as he did from the moves. Big Show began to wear him down with big headbutts, but Randy was able to stay in it by bouncing back with European uppercuts until he could get the giant off balance then he nailed him with a dropkick. Randy went for a quick cover but the big show just threw him off. Randy Orton tried his best to keep him down with vicious stomps. He left the ring to get a kendo stick and when he got back inside Big Show grabbed him by the throat and lifted him nearly 11 feet in the air but Orton striked him with the kendo stick in the air and Big Show was stunned, dropping Orton and Orton landed on his feet then began to beat Big Show with it. It broke over the Big Show's back. Show was on his knees so Randy kicked him in the head to knock him down. Randy taunted and left to the outside again to get a chair. He set the chair up in the middle of the ring, then began to strike show more with devastating punches. Randy grabbed Show's neck with one arm and got ready to RKO him on the chair but Show pushed him into it and Orton's knee hit it hard as he rolled around on the mat in pain. Show walked slowly to finish Orton but ge was hit with a low blow. Randy got up and dropkicked Show, his bad knee hurt more but Show landed right on the chair crushing it. Randy Orton began to recover and rub his knee. It looked like he felt better and there was barely a limp in his step. Big Show began to get up already and Orton knocked him down with an RKO. Lesnar's music hit but Orton just went for the cover anyways and scored the pinfall. Lesnar made his way to the ring. "Randy Orton, you've made a serious mistake in turning your back to the strong authority. Brrrrrrockkkk Lesnar is what makes a difference in the authority. You haven't felt the pain in years, so he's just going to give you a taste of what it will feel like at Night of Champions! " Heyman began to speak as Brock got in the ring and bulldozed Randy right into the corner, then tackled him right in his bad knee. Orton grabbed his knees, exposing his whole upper body and Lesnar clotheslined him right against the turnbuckle several times. Randy fell onto his stomach. Brock smiled and the crowd booed loudly as Lesnar picked Orton up rough setting him up for an F-5.

All of a sudden Cena came out of nowhere and attacked Brock. Brock swung at him and missed, and was dropped with an attitude adjustment and he rolled out of the ring in retreat. Cena did a "you can't see me " taunt to Paul and Brock. Paul's eyes widened as he could not believe it. Cena came to Orton's aid and helped him up. Randy Orton responded with an RKO to Cena, then a punt kick. He went on the ground and talked to Cena, "I told you, I'm not on your side. I don't need to you or anybody else.. I can do it all by myself!" Randy kicked Cena's lifeless body onto the floor outside and then left.

As he limped the voices in his head approved what he had done, and they were now telling him something.

Triple H was steaming in his office. Stephanie tried to calm him down. "Calm down honey, " she said. "Lesnar can do it. Cena saved Orton. If it hadn't been for Cena, Orton would've been really hurt!"
"I'm SICK of all this. Randy got so lucky. I'll deal with Cena. This will all catch up with Orton one day. And that day will be Night of Champions where he'll pay for his sins! The authority is nothing to sleep on, and I'm gonna make sure we stay relevant. "
