00:00Now, a year ago, the new World Heavyweight Championship was reborn, but I wasn't here.
00:09Ladies and gentlemen, I was at home on my couch, recovering from spinal fusion surgery,
00:15and I didn't know if I would ever make it back to this ring.
00:18And I knew, though, however, if God was going to, by the grace of God, allow me to compete,
00:24to perform one day again for each and every one of you, that I was going to do everything
00:28in my power to one day make sure that my name was engraved on the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:37And this Saturday in Berlin, I get my opportunity.
00:42New World Heavyweight Championship.
00:48New title.
00:53New legacy.
00:57I will be facing a man whose head is shoved so far up his own ass that he has no idea,
01:12he doesn't even realize, that he'll be facing the most dangerous, decorated, controversial,
01:18yet successful wrestler that this industry has seen in almost 20 years.
01:30The difference between Gunther and I is, as I said before, I was humbled.
01:35I was humbled.
01:36Gunther has never been put in his place, but this Saturday at the Bash in Berlin, that's
01:41exactly what I intend to do.
01:47All this match ever had to be about was the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:51That's all it ever had to be about, but Gunther wanted to make it personal.
01:57Gunther talked about my family.
01:59Gunther talked about all the demons that I've had to face, and Gunther, you're right, I've
02:03faced my share of demons in the past, and each one of those demons was tougher of an
02:09opponent than you were ever being.
02:12And I beat those demons, just like I'm going to beat you this Saturday and become a 15-time
02:17World Heavyweight Champion.
02:22And if you're curious at all exactly how I intend on doing that, well, I'll let you in
02:27on a little secret.
02:28I'm going to do it by using the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment.
02:34R-K-O.
02:39Creeping closer to history, looking to move into second place all by himself in the number
02:46of world title reigns in his career.
02:48Randy Orton with a chance to do that Saturday versus Gunther at Bash in Berlin.
