01:57Screaming at 245 pounds
02:00He is the Apex Predator
02:03Randy Orton
02:07Randy Orton and Chris Jericho have had a very long storied history
02:14A couple of weeks ago on the season premiere of Monday Night Raw
02:17Chris Jericho was in the trainer's room
02:19He was being treated for an injured knee that he hurt with a cross body off the steel cage in a match against Bray Wyatt
02:27Let's ace this down, okay?
02:29Let me wrap this on
02:30You're freaking handed to me, huh?
02:34Hand it to me, huh, Brock?
02:49Sorry, Chris.
02:51What can I say?
02:53It's the season premiere.
02:54And in fact, Chris Jericho and
02:59Randy Orton would help us kick off tonight here at Night of Champions.
03:03It's part of the Night of Champions kickoff show.
03:06An hour long tonight before the Night of Champions pay-per-view.
03:09Chris Jericho is a guest in Christian's peep show.
03:13Randy Orton would interrupt and have a back and forth with Chris Jericho.
03:17Orton telling Jericho, after I beat you tonight,
03:20the only TV show you're going to be on is Total Divas.
03:25I like Total Divas.
03:27I love Total Divas.
03:28It's a great show.
03:30I wish it had me on.
03:31Biggest Jericho said Randy's show would be total jacked.
03:36Don't say it.
03:37A double credit letter.
03:40I learned that from Road Dogg.
03:42Jericho and Randy Orton, John, 18 world championships among the two.
03:48Orton, a 12-time world champion.
03:50Jericho, a six-time world champion plus the first ever undisputed world champion.
03:57Randy Orton, the first ever WWE world heavyweight champion.
04:01Two guys who have made history.
04:05You know, Chris Jericho beat The Rock King and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night.
04:10Well, very impressive.
04:12And he hasn't slowed down since.
04:14If you don't think he's got a chance to beat Randy Orton quickly here tonight,
04:17you got another thing coming.
04:19Jericho's fired up.
04:20He's even got a rock song out.
04:21Lights go out in the top 30.
04:22Yeah, from the band Fozzy.
04:23Here we go.
04:24You know, Randy Orton, a few years ago, hunted Chris Jericho.
04:29Chris Jericho missed a lot of, many, many months of action.
04:33Almost cost Jericho his career because of that.
04:35And Jericho has not forgotten.
04:37You know, Randy Orton never showed any remorse about that whatsoever.
04:42You know, Christian alluded to it tonight in the peep show on the kickoff show.
04:46But Chris Jericho's talked about it all along, the difference between he and Randy Orton.
04:50Jericho talks about working hard to make it here at WWE.
04:54He talks about how in his mind, Randy Orton's handed to him,
04:57being a third-generation superstar, hooking up with the likes of Triple H and Ric Flair early in his life.
05:02Ric Flair early in his career in Evolution, now being a, quote, lap dog for the authority.
05:06JBL, I'm sure you won't agree with that, will you?
05:08I don't agree at all with it.
05:09He's a 12-time world champion.
05:11You don't get that by getting things handed to you.
05:14You've said all along, you build a sports entertainer from the ground up,
05:17it looks like Randy Orton is bred to be a champion.
05:22I hate to agree with you, JBL, but I got to.
05:25Randy Orton, he has worked hard for everything he's got.
05:30And he's got a lot.
05:31Whoa!
05:32By Y2J as Orton knocked over the top rope.
05:36He was great over the, look at Jericho.
05:40Boy.
05:41Baseball slide knocks Orton right down here in front of us.
05:44Watch your Mountain Dew.
05:49Ow!
05:50Orton bounced off the Spanish announce table.
05:52Right table.
05:55Now he slapped to the back of the head.
05:57That's an insult to injury right there.
05:59That's injury.
06:00Orton driven into the steel steps.
06:02Two of the all-time greats going at it in this matchup here tonight.
06:06Chris, a record nine-time Intercontinental Champion.
06:11Randy Orton, right to the chest.
06:15You know, it's interesting, all the great programming on the WWE Network for-
06:19$9.99.
06:20How much?
06:21$9.99.
06:22I was watching some of the Monday Night War and some of the great Raws from the Attitude
06:27Era over the past week.
06:28Remember the night Chris Jericho debuted back in 1999 in Chicago and he interrupted The Rock,
06:34one of the all-time great segments on Monday Night Raw.
06:38I generally just watch all my old stuff.
06:40And I also had the opportunity to watch Randy Orton in the night that he became the
06:44youngest world champion of all time.
06:47The night that Evolution turned thumbs down on Mr. Orton.
06:51Now, Chris Jericho trying to continue to turn thumbs down on Randy Orton.
06:58Jericho went into the corner, knocking Orton down.
07:10Jericho gingerly making his way to the top rope.
07:13Back to his feet, takes advantage.
07:15Took too long, too long.
07:17One of the reasons, he's the apex predator of WWE.
07:21You cannot give the Viper an opening like that.
07:23It's difficult standing up there.
07:24I don't remember every time I stood up there, I just got dizzy.
07:27You don't have too many memories of that, do you?
07:29I'm dizzy a lot.
07:32So you went to the top rope a lot.
07:33I remember a story that you used to tell me about climbing the steel cage for
07:37the first time.
07:38I don't know what you're thinking here.
07:39Speaking of steel cage, it's an incredible steel cage match between Jericho and
07:46Bray Wyatt a couple of weeks ago in that season premiere of Monday Night Raw.
07:51It certainly was, and it looked like Chris Jericho had it won, thanks to Harper and Rowan.
07:56Uh-oh.
07:57Uh-oh.
07:58Randy Orton now.
07:59Boy.
08:00Top rope, in trouble.
08:01That's a long way down.
08:04Man.
08:05That will jar everything inside your body.
08:12And Randy Orton, here's the cover on Jericho and a kick out in two.
08:16Bones, internal organs, everything.
08:18Look at Randy Orton, he's feeling the effects of this superplex as well.
08:21Watch the impact thing.
08:22Randy Orton's smiling.
08:23Watch.
08:24Watch.
08:25Yeah, this is-
08:26How far that is.
08:27But Randy Orton finds humor in the misfortune of others.
08:31He is happy right now.
08:32Don't you?
08:33No.
08:34He made a career on that.
08:38Still trying.
08:40Randy Orton, cranking it up.
08:42I wanna thank everyone for watching Night of Champions tonight live on the WWE Network
08:47in over 170 countries worldwide, also on pay-per-view.
08:51They're watching live in countries tonight like the United Kingdom, Chris Jericho's homeland
08:56of Canada, all throughout Europe, Middle East.
09:02Ooh.
09:03And Jericho's sent over the top rope, and of course, a special shout-out to our US Armed Forces.
09:08Watching on our bases around the world and on our ships at sea on the American Forces Network.
09:13I'm looking at a tweet I just got right now.
09:15I wish I could pronounce this guy's name.
09:17It's Zawadzki.
09:19He's in Zawadzki.
09:20I'm watching Night of Champions live in Poland on the WWE Network for just $9.99.
09:24Randy Orton, watch out.
09:29And the Viper's so dangerous outside the ring.
09:34And Jericho in trouble.
09:36And there's the backbreaker.
09:38No.
09:40Jericho bounced off the barricade.
09:42And just like that, Randy Orton off the sidestep.
09:47And look at Orton, absolutely no absence of malice.
09:50Just cruel intentions by the Viper.
09:52Seven.
09:57Referee up to a count of seven, and Orton made sure he got his prey.
10:00Cover again on Jericho.
10:01And Jericho manages to power out of two.
10:07Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that powering out.
10:10Watch, you're a diet mountain dude, John.
10:13It's all over your papers out here.
10:15I almost lost mine.
10:16Well, that was nice of it.
10:18That was nice of Randy, John.
10:23Uh-oh, look out Jericho.
10:25Get out here on the announce table.
10:27That was not nice.
10:30Not nice at all.
10:32One, two, one.
10:35Randy!
10:36Randy!
10:37Randy!
10:38Randy!
10:39Randy!
10:43Randy!
10:44Randy!
10:47Man, Chris Jericho, did you see the look in his eye when he came down on the announce table?
10:51Jericho is down and out.
10:52Orton looking for the victory right here.
10:54Almost had him.
10:55One, two.
10:56Speaking of eyes, look at your iPad, Michael.
10:58It's history.
10:59Hey, still alive.
11:00Thank God for the outer box.
11:01Man, Jericho dropped unceremoniously right on our announce table here.
11:07Jericho went across the ring and he caught Randy Orton.
11:14Now the chop to the Viper and Jericho's starting to fight back now.
11:22Jericho's shoulder tackle.
11:29And down goes Orton.
11:31Cover and a kick out at two.
11:35Come on, let's go, Chris, get him out.
11:36One, two.
11:37Jericho foot right in his face now.
11:38One, two, three.
11:39One, two, three.
11:40Jericho's shoulder tackle.
11:41Jericho's shoulder tackle.
11:42And down goes Orton.
11:45And down goes Orton.
11:46Cover and a kick out at two.
11:50Jericho lands on his feet, Randy Orton.
12:01That's beautiful.
12:02That right there is Vintage Orton.
12:04Off the power slam.
12:05Covered.
12:06He almost hit it.
12:07One, two.
12:08One, two.
12:09One, two.
12:11One, two.
12:12One, two.
12:13One, two.
12:14One, two.
12:15One, two.
12:16One, two.
12:17One, two.
12:18One, two.
12:19One, two.
12:20One, two.
12:21Two and a half.
12:22I thought Orton had him beat.
12:23Just smooth.
12:24The great ones make it look easy.
12:27John, you've been in the ring with both of these superstars.
12:36Randy Orton reminded me of a young Barry One.
12:41I'm so fluid, so smooth.
12:43And that is high praise.
12:45One of the best ever in the ring.
12:47He missed.
12:48WWE Hall of Famer as Jericho goes right to the face of Orton.
12:54Jericho trying to-
12:55Jericho's just tenacious.
12:56Yeah, he's trying to return the favor of that punt that he remembers at the hands of Randy Orton.
13:02And Jericho just doesn't go away.
13:03He keeps coming at you.
13:04Jericho this time lands on the apron.
13:06Who catches Orton on the right hand?
13:08Jericho better get up there a little faster this time.
13:13Don't give Orton that chance to stop you.
13:15And now this one for Jericho takes Orton down and it works that time.
13:18Come on, baby!
13:19Hey!
13:21Come on!
13:23Whoa!
13:27The Viper planted face first.
13:32And almost defanged him.
13:34Look out!
13:35Jericho lands on his feet.
13:36And Randy Orton caught on and there he goes into the backbreaker.
13:38The beauty of Randy Orton, John, there is no wasted motion.
13:47No one at all.
13:48What an incredible physical chess match we're watching.
13:52Two of the all-time greats going at it.
13:56Randy Orton went for the RKO.
13:57Chris Jericho able to counter into the lion saw.
14:00He connects.
14:01Can he put Orton away?
14:03Jericho hooks the leg.
14:04Randy Orton gets his shoulder up.
14:15Wow.
14:16Man, oh man.
14:19Some great back and forth action here.
14:21And then Jericho will not stop.
14:29No, Jericho doesn't wanna be there.
14:31And he certainly doesn't wanna be here.
14:33Unfortunately, he's there.
14:35Randy Orton going for the DDT for the second rope.
14:39Jericho down to the counter.
14:40Looking for the walls.
14:41Looking for the walls of Jericho.
14:43And a counter at Jericho.
14:47Man.
14:48Hot way across the ring.
14:49Long legs of Randy Orton.
14:50And now Jericho, said shoulder first.
14:52Into the steel post, maybe head first.
14:57Telegraph, any move, make any mistake.
15:01Randy Orton capitalizes.
15:03No kidding.
15:04That's why this Viper is so dangerous.
15:08Dangerous.
15:09Toying with the WWE fans.
15:23Haunting if you will.
15:25But you better keep your mind on Chris Jericho.
15:29He's not finished yet, Randy Orton.
15:32No.
15:39Wait, wait, wait a minute.
15:40We talked about what he did to Chris Jericho earlier on tonight.
15:43Jericho's in position.
15:44Is Randy Orton gonna try it here?
15:46Randy Orton's going to that place, King.
15:51This could end Chris Jericho's career.
15:53Randy Orton's gonna try for the putt on Jericho.
15:55Jericho underneath, rolling Orton off, shoulders down.
15:58He got another kick down.
16:00And now Jericho going for the walls.
16:04In the middle of the ring.
16:05Trying to roll Randy on his stomach.
16:07He's got him.
16:08He's got him.
16:09Walls of Jericho.
16:10And he's sucking in deep.
16:12And is it for Orton?
16:14The legendary walls of Jericho locked in.
16:17Orton's got nowhere to go.
16:19Is Orton gonna tap out?
16:21Is Randy gonna tap out to Jericho?
16:23Is he tapping?
16:24Is he tapping?
16:25No, that just puts more pressure on Orton.
16:32But he's got to try to get to those ropes.
16:34Yeah, Orton trying to drag Jericho toward that bottom rope.
16:37Randy Orton trying to hang on.
16:38He's got.
16:39Jericho's gotta do pretty good.
16:40He's scratching, he's crawling.
16:42He's crawling.
16:44Such intense rows.
16:46Randy Orton have to tap out to Chris Jericho.
16:48I don't know if Randy can take that.
16:50I think Orton's gonna tell him.
16:51He didn't make it.
16:52He didn't make it.
16:53He didn't make it.
16:54He didn't make it.
16:55He didn't get there.
16:56He's still not there.
16:57Jericho dragging him back to the middle of the ring.
16:58Randy's got a way to go.
16:59Jericho sits down now.
17:01The pressure's on.
17:02Orton's gotta tap.
17:04You can't breathe when you're in that.
17:06Orton's gonna have to tap.
17:07Randy trying to counter.
17:12Trying to reverse this here.
17:15Look at Orton, look at this.
17:17Randy Orton with a green counter.
17:19Finally fighting out of it.
17:23Jericho's sent through the ropes.
17:25And now Randy Orton's got Jericho right back where he wants him.
17:34Closed in he came.
17:35Wow.
17:40Randy Orton somehow contorted his entire body, twisted and turned and pulled himself right through Jericho's legs and got out of that painful was Jericho.
17:51How'd he do that?
17:55That was the reason he's a 12 time world champion.
17:58WWE fans here in Nashville trying to will Jericho on.
18:08Yeah, but I think that's just fueling the fire, fueling the rage that is inside Randy Orton.
18:13You don't wanna anger this Viper anymore than he already is.
18:20No, not again.
18:21Jericho hasn't moved after that DDT.
18:24And now the Viper's coiled.
18:41Jericho slowly making it back to his feet.
18:50Orton stalking.
18:51With the strike.
18:52Jericho suckered him in.
18:54Jericho suckered him in.
18:56Here's the cover.
18:57And it plows out.
18:58What a match.
19:00What an incredible counter by Chris Jericho.
19:10Did you hear Jericho?
19:11Yeah, I did.
19:12He screamed at the official and said, are you serious?
19:14How did Randy Orton power out of that?
19:17Jericho can't believe it.
19:20I can't believe it.
19:21Watch this.
19:22What a privilege to be able to sit here and call this match.
19:26Watch this.
19:27Two and stop now.
19:29What do you do when you hit a guy with your best shot and it doesn't beat him?
19:33Well, it's demoralizing, I can tell you that.
19:36You gotta suck it up, Chris.
19:39Jericho gonna go up top.
19:41Randy Orton has barely moved.
19:46Now Jericho pleading with Orton to get to your feet.
19:58I got something else for you.
20:00Come on, come on.
20:01Come on.
20:02Come on.
20:05Come on.
20:06Come on.
20:07Come on.
20:08Orton is slowly about to stand.
20:11Come on.
20:12What's in store for the Viper when he turns around?
20:15Stand up, stand up.
20:18Jericho watches.
20:23No.
20:24Orton.
20:25Orton.
20:26Orton faked Jericho out.
20:28No.
20:29No, he suckered him in, Orton knew it.
20:34Randy Orton with a vicious RKO, the cover.
20:38One, two, three.
20:39Randy Orton picks up the win at Night of Champions.
20:43Here is your winner, Randy Orton.
20:48Orton knew what he was doing all along, just waiting for the right moment.
20:52Guys, what a match.
20:53Yes, it was.
20:55I gotta agree with you, JBL.
20:57That's why Orton was taking so long.
21:01He knew that Chris Jericho was poisoned at the top of that rope.
21:06And he was waiting for Jericho when he came down.
21:09Man.
21:15Doing the best that we've ever had in the ring here at WWE really gave us a treat tonight.
21:21We just witnessed a classic.
21:23Earlier in the match, this code breaker from Jericho came out of nowhere.
21:35And we thought that that did the Viper in.
21:38But somehow Orton at the last second saved himself.
21:42And then the finish, and that finished Chris Jericho as he flies up the top rope.
21:53Right into the hands, the waiting arms of the Viper in an RKO.
21:58John, you said it before, there are very few that have been better than the 12-time world champion Randy Orton.
22:10And every year somehow Randy himself continues to get better.
22:14An incredible performance by Randy Orton, and what a performance by Chris Jericho.
22:20Chris Jericho has nothing to be ashamed about tonight, an absolute awesome match here at Night of Champions.
