00:00Next figure, and a candle on a birthday cake.
00:06Undertaker's scary.
00:09Wow.
00:09I need more tears in my head.
00:12They come to me.
00:13They understand.
00:14They say.
00:26Falling contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:29Waking his winery from St. Louis, Missouri.
00:32Waking at 235 pounds, Randy Orton.
00:38Now, ladies and gentlemen, Randy Orton said to do battle tonight at Vengeance.
00:43With a former protege, so to speak, and Cody Rose.
00:48Well, I have to admit that the Viper Randy Orton has brought all of this upon himself.
00:54What?
00:55Well, it really started a month ago.
00:56Randy Orton in a battle with Cody Rhodes.
00:59The match spilled outside the ring.
01:01Where Randy Orton would savagely assault Cody Rhodes with an illegal object.
01:08The ring bell.
01:10Oh.
01:11Cody Rhodes would need nine staples to close that grotesque wound.
01:16Well, Cody Rhodes would need revenge.
01:19He would get it.
01:20On Raw, he interfered in Orton's title match against Mark Henry.
01:24After delivering Crossroads, Cody Rhodes would offer the ultimate.
01:28Humiliation.
01:28Cut the head off the Viper and all the venom goes with it.
01:35Would you like a receipt with your paper bag?
01:40You have to like how Cody Rhodes bagged Randy Orton covering Orton's hideous sins.
01:48I don't like it.
01:49And I don't believe that you actually said Randy Orton brought all this on himself.
01:53Sometimes I wonder if your brain can hear what your mouth is saying.
01:56Did you not witness what we just saw?
01:58Yes, I did.
02:04I respect your opinion, even though mine's better.
02:07Oh.
02:07Did you tell me things that I've got you?
02:19Did you tell me things that I've got you?
02:21Did you tell me things that I've got you?
02:23Boom!
02:24Making his way to the lane from Marietta, Georgia, weighing in at 215 pounds.
02:32Here's the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes.
02:39Cody Rhodes, of course, flanked by his baggers.
02:44Still in shock after what happened moments ago, ladies and gentlemen.
02:48Kevin Nash from out of nowhere assaulting Triple H here in ringside.
02:53We hope to get an update on Triple H a little bit later on.
02:56But the Kevin Nash situation is dominating, trending worldwide on Twitter right now
03:01as we invite all of you to follow tonight's action on Twitter by following at WWE and
03:06by using the hashtag Vengeance.
03:15I really hope that they bring Buckner and King some bags here tonight.
03:19Believe the nerve of these jerks.
03:21I'm not in the mood tonight, I'm gonna tell you that, but no.
03:23You're never in the mood.
03:25It's Halloween, you can bring it home, you can use it for your trick or treating.
03:31Cole, if anybody needs a bag, it's you.
03:34I'm wearing my orange singlet to Halloween.
03:39Matchup underway, Randy Orton versus Cody Rhodes.
03:41One-on-one, of course, Cody wearing that protective acrylic mask that's needed
03:46after his facial reconstructive surgery earlier this year.
03:49That, by the way, he uses as a weapon every chance he gets.
03:59I hope these men know each other so well, remember?
04:01They were a part of the very successful group Legacy.
04:07Randy Orton, the ninth-time world champion, looks to take control early on.
04:11And Cody Rhodes.
04:13Oh, nice.
04:14Current Intercontinental Champion.
04:18He's in trouble early.
04:20Cody Rhodes tells us about being the best tonight.
04:22He's gonna have to prove it out there with the fight.
04:25Whoa!
04:25Come on, everybody.
04:26Get me in.
04:27Cody Rhodes owns a victory over Randy Orton a few weeks back.
04:32One thing Randy Orton has to keep in mind.
04:34Whoa!
04:35Going against Cody Rhodes, something like that, that clothes on him.
04:38Come on, Orton.
04:39That works better than a punch right in the face between the eyes because of that protective
04:44mask, as you call it.
04:46Protective, my foot.
04:47And look at Cody Rhodes.
04:48Whoa.
04:48Great move.
04:49Taking advantage, and quickly, Cody Rhodes will go on the attack.
04:53Is that a headbutt with that mask?
04:55It definitely was a headbutt.
04:56I'm gonna tell you, though, Cody Rhodes is quick.
04:58I mean, when he lay that head in, he does it so quick, the referee can't say anything about
05:03it because it's legal.
05:04It is legal because that mask has been approved for use by the WWE's Board of Directors.
05:09Which I think is ridiculous.
05:11I don't know why you can plead to him, Booger.
05:12Write a letter or send an email or whatever you do.
05:14Maybe I will.
05:15Tweet.
05:16Tweet.
05:20And Cody D right to the back of the neck of Randy Orton.
05:23And look at Cody Rhodes, three-time Tag Team Champion, current Intercontinental Champion.
05:32I take nothing away from Cody Rhodes' ability to get in the middle of the ring.
05:36I mean, he has all the tools.
05:38I mean, but the mask thing, it's just something that just takes away a little bit of greatness,
05:44how good he really can be.
05:46Yeah, he's just taking shortcuts.
05:47Exactly, exactly my point.
05:49How much better do you want him to be?
05:50He's the Intercontinental Champion.
05:52I mean, a championship that's been held by some of the greatest of all time.
05:56Over a dozen Hall of Famers.
05:58Yeah.
05:59What would that title?
06:00If he won that championship without taking the shortcut of having that protective mask on,
06:05I'd have a lot more respect for him.
06:08And Cody exploding out of the corner.
06:10Cody even brought back the traditional cover on Orton here.
06:13Can Orton kick out?
06:14Cody does.
06:15Brought back the traditional championship, the same title worn by the likes of Stone Cold
06:20Steve Austin, Bret Hart, and others.
06:22You know, you just can't make yourself great by wearing the same championship belt that all
06:27these great champions wore.
06:28You've got to go out there and prove it in the middle of the ring.
06:30That's what it's really all about right there, Cody.
06:32What else do you want Cody to prove?
06:34I don't understand what you're talking about.
06:36The man's a champion.
06:37He's a three-time Tag Team Champion.
06:39What else do you want Cody Rhodes to prove?
06:40I just wanted to go to the ring, do it like it should be done.
06:44Do it fair and square.
06:45Take the mask off.
06:46And just, just, just man.
06:48Oh!
06:48I go out on a limb and say that I believe if Cody Rhodes was not wearing that mask, he
06:53would not be champion.
06:55That's, I think, I think that makes that much of a difference.
06:58Testify.
06:59Look at this.
07:00Nice drop kick.
07:03Here's the cover.
07:04And Orton at two spins the shoulder out.
07:10Boom!
07:12Gosh.
07:13Ah, boom!
07:14Boom!
07:15Cody Rhodes is very, very verbal on SmackDown Friday Night, Booker, when he talked about
07:22his time that he spent in Legacy under the tutelage of Randy Orton, really called Orton
07:27and his influence a stain on the early part of his career.
07:31You know, I feel, you know, what that was all about is, you know, when you go around,
07:36you know, the ladies like one person in the group, you go to the airport, one person's
07:40going to get the first-class fight.
07:42What it was was Cody Rhodes was just getting left behind and really couldn't take it.
07:46That's what it really was about.
07:49He carried away in.
07:51I'm watching the match, but he's got a point.
07:53It's a jealousy.
07:54Exactly my point.
07:56Well, they say jealousy rears its ugly head, and I don't know if anybody's got an uglier head
08:00than Cody Rhodes.
08:01Cody Rhodes is getting Randy Orton toward it.
08:03Yeah, oh, look at this.
08:05Oh, if you sit out, this could be trouble for Randy Orton.
08:09Randy may have to tap here.
08:10Randy in all kinds of trouble.
08:12Cody Rhodes.
08:16Orton taps out.
08:17This would be a huge victory, perhaps one of the biggest victories in the young career of Rhodes.
08:22This is going to test the strength of Randy Orton.
08:25Look at this.
08:30Randy Orton nowhere near the ropes here.
08:31Cody Rhodes continues the pressure.
08:33Randy Orton may have to tap out.
08:37That pressure right there, got the pressure.
08:39Randy's got to spin that crab over a little bit, and he does.
08:41Can he do it?
08:41Randy counters.
08:42Cody Rhodes trying to hang on, and Randy Orton battles out.
08:46Those ears at least are exposed.
08:52They're not protected.
08:53Should wear headgear.
08:54Probably looked at you and saw how stupid you look.
08:58Oh, look at Randy.
09:01Whoa, beautiful.
09:02Tremendous that let us go.
09:03Shoulders down, two counts.
09:05Beautiful victory roll right there by Randy Orton, almost got it.
09:08Yeah, but notice how Cody popped right back up, and right back to the right hands, and now a slugfest between the two.
09:14Watch out here, and the Cody Rhodes caught Randy Orton.
09:19Man, the world championship on two different occasions.
09:24Well, that was impressive, wasn't it, Booker?
09:25Definitely impressive right there.
09:26I mean, got Randy Orton.
09:28Got him here, got him here, got him here, got him, no, two and a half.
09:30Randy was totally out of position right there and paid for it and paid dearly.
09:34Yeah, that was just not a move, even though he is Intercontinental Champion, and it's not a move you'd expect to see a guy like Cody Rhodes be able to pull off on Randy Orton now.
09:45You know, I beg the difference, Randy, and Cody Rhodes got all the twos, I mean, right here.
09:48Look at Randy in the perfect position, and just dropped him.
09:57Randy Orton, this is just, this is just not smart on the part of Cody Rhodes.
10:02What's he doing?
10:02He's giving his opponent an opportunity to recuperate.
10:06There's no arrogance right there.
10:08Yeah, you're right.
10:08The kid is very arrogant.
10:10He wants to be the best, and tonight he has his chance to prove it.
10:14What?
10:15What?
10:15You saw nobody home.
10:17You got me, kid.
10:18Man, man.
10:20Cody about jumped out of the AT&T Center, but Randy Orton saw it coming.
10:24And right now, Randy Orton realizes his opening is upon him.
10:27Talking about taking the wind out of your sails.
10:29I don't think Cody Rhodes may have been breathing for five minutes.
10:34And Randy Orton trying to kick it into another gear.
10:36Here comes Randy Orton right here.
10:39There it is.
10:40Power slam by Orton.
10:41Cody Rhodes trying to regroup, but you don't want to go to the apron.
10:48And look at Cody.
10:49Oh, beautiful right there by Cody Rhodes.
10:51Cody Rhodes knows Orton so well.
10:53New Orton is going to go for the DDT through the ropes and took advantage.
10:56Oh, what a drop kick!
10:58Oh, man, nobody does that like Randy Orton.
11:02Carded right in the ribs right there.
11:03That's that cartilage right there.
11:05Ned right there could hurt a long time.
11:07Randy Orton looking to take advantage.
11:08Look at his foot from forearm right in the face of Cody, who powers out at two.
11:12Two and a half.
11:14Check this out right here.
11:15Randy Orton, check the height.
11:19Precision timing by Randy Orton.
11:24Randy Orton, a tremendous athlete.
11:28Nut ranch Cody Rhodes.
11:30Watch out here!
11:30Oh, that's that beautiful disaster kick that caught Orton in the jaw.
11:34Cody Rhodes sees his opening, quickly with the cover.
11:36Hooks the leg on the viper who slithers at it, too.
11:39Well, that was almost a disaster for Randy Orton.
11:41I'm going to tell you, I've seen Cody Rhodes put a whole lot of guys away
11:45with that kick right there, but not tonight.
11:54Randy Orton planning Cody.
11:55Now Randy's going to go for it.
11:56Oh, here we go.
11:57Randy Orton in position.
11:58Here we go.
11:59Cody through the second rope.
12:00Cody Rhodes, though, again, went for the counter, and another counter.
12:05Great switch by Randy.
12:06Beautiful double counter right there.
12:08Handed a backbreaker.
12:09Randy Orton, no top.
12:10Again, hooks the leg on Cody Rhodes, who's still got fight in him.
12:13Whoa.
12:15Randy Orton, I like the looks of Randy Orton right now.
12:21It looks like he's gathering his wits about him again.
12:24He is building up a head of steam here.
12:28That's the thing about Randy Orton.
12:30You really never know what this guy is thinking at any time.
12:33Well, you can get him rattled, but he'll always come back at you.
12:37Whoa.
12:38Again, Randy Orton, hooks Rhodes on his head into the cover again, and Cody Rhodes continues
12:43to fight out.
12:44You guys gotta give Cody credit on the resilience factor.
12:47Definitely kicked out of that floating neckbreaker right there.
12:49Randy Orton had all the pressure leaning down on that floating neckbreaker right there too, man.
12:54Yeah, what's Randy got in mind here?
13:01Randy, let's go.
13:03I'll tell you, whatever it is, Randy Orton's pulling out all the stops tonight.
13:14And so is Cody.
13:15There you go.
13:17Headbutt by Rhodes.
13:18Headbutt with that mask.
13:21Not again.
13:22And this time he connects with a moonsault.
13:24Put it away, big time upset here.
13:26And a kick out.
13:28Wow.
13:29I've never seen that by Cody Rhodes right there.
13:31I mean, he pulled it off with prime precision.
13:34And that's where we will give Cody Rhodes the devil is due.
13:37I mean, you know, not only do you have to be extremely athletic to pull up a move like this,
13:41but I mean, you just throw caution to the wind.
13:43One, two, three.
13:45You don't know where Randy Orton is, what's behind you.
13:48You just hope you're hitting.
13:50Cody Rhodes, look at him.
13:56You know him well.
13:57What does that look mean, Cole?
13:58We're gonna deliver the depth now.
14:00Again, nobody home.
14:01Now what the?
14:09Big uppercut.
14:11And that, folks, that's one of the baggers.
14:13What the hell is he doing?
14:14That's one of Cody Rhodes' baggers, and Cody with Crossroads.
14:17Wow.
14:18Cody Rhodes is gonna steal one.
14:20Hook of the ring, two count, got him.
14:22Randy Orton kicked out.
14:26Even with the distraction, and Cody Rhodes catching Randy Orton from behind.
14:34Orton survives here.
14:36Cody trying to figure out how Randy Orton kicked out of his finishing maneuver known as Crossroads.
14:45Figuring out, trying to figure out how this bagger got so invested in this match, he sacrificed himself.
14:50That was the plan right there, exactly what that was.
14:54And now, Cody Rhodes, he is taking one out of Randy Orton's playbook.
14:59He's mocking Orton.
15:00This is how Randy Orton sucks himself up to put him in position for the RKO.
15:06Is Cody Rhodes gonna go for him?
15:09Maybe he was gonna go for Orton's RKO.
15:11I think he was.
15:12I think he was.
15:13But Orton caught him with a drop kick.
15:14Wow.
15:15I can't believe he tried to pull that off right there, put himself in a really,
15:19really bad position to take this right here.
15:21No!
15:22And Randy Orton gonna show it how it's done.
15:27Yeah, here's the real deal.
15:28Cody Rhodes.
15:38Cody Rhodes is motioning for that other bagger.
15:40And now another bagger.
15:41Oh!
15:42Rhodes!
15:43RKO!
15:45Woo-hoo!
15:47One, two, three!
15:50I hear voices in my head, they can't see you.
15:54Here's your winner, Randy Orton.
15:57Randy Orton with a huge victory tonight.
16:06Cody Rhodes had a lot of opportunities, but Randy Orton was able to put Rhodes away.
16:15Right about that, Randy Orton up for the task.
16:18Watch this.
16:19The bagger goes flying courtesy of the baggie.
16:24No, bagger.
16:26Too many bags around here.
16:28And then a perfect RKO.
16:33One, two, three.
16:38The baggers are gonna be bagged.
16:40Randy Orton successful here at Vengeance.
16:45Beautiful.
16:46Randy Orton ported out in prize fashion tonight.
16:50And Vengeance.
16:51They talk to me.
16:54They tell me things that I'm about to.
16:57They show me things I'll see.
17:00They talk to me.
17:02Talk to me.
17:03Talk to me.
17:04Talk to me.
17:05Talk to me.
17:06They talk to me.
17:08That is a look of a Viper that is just taking care of some business.
17:13Unfinished business.
17:15political conversation is going to take it.
17:18I took debts.
17:19Talk to me.
17:20Talk to me.
17:21I'll turn against, I'll turn against, I gonna give up a Dalai briefs, I wanna break.
17:23Up next, Mark Henry is the World Heavyweight Champion versus the Big Show.
17:26Truly, Jag versus Jag.
17:29Up next, Mark Henry, the world heavyweight champion versus the Big Show.
17:35Truly, Jack versus Jack.
17:37Will Mark Henry reign of destruction contender, or
17:40will the Big Show close down finally and condemn the whole of pace?
17:55This is a dangerous situation for Randy Orton.
17:59Look in the eyes of Randy Orton, say, come on, oh, Mark Henry!
18:02Captain again, Mark Henry!
18:06Come on, come on!
18:1015 years it's taken me to get here.
18:1615 years.
18:16I'm more unpredictable.
18:1815 years.
18:18I'm more dangerous.
18:2015 years.
18:21I'm more reckless.
18:23But it's all brought me to this point.
18:25This is my moment, and I'm not sharing it with none of you.
18:30I'm taking on all comers, and I'm never, ever losing this title.
18:38I'd like to welcome all of you to the Hall of Pain.
18:44The Hall of Pain is getting really great.
18:50That's Big Show.
18:53Look at the strength, world's strongest slam.
18:59Wait a minute, guys.
19:01Oh, my God.
19:02Don't do this.
19:03Mark, don't do this.
19:04I was humbled by Mark Henry.
19:06The past four months, he's destroyed everything in his pack.
19:10Mark Henry, your momentum is a downhill.
19:14And at the bottom, I'm waiting to stop you.
19:31Oh, and at the bottom, I'm waiting to stop you.
19:41I'm going to take from you what validates your entire career.
19:49I am going to take the World Heavyweight Championship from you, Mark Edwards.
19:55You've been sitting at home doing nothing for four months.
20:03A vacation that I afforded you.
20:07You come out here and you ask me for an opportunity at this World Heavyweight Championship.
20:14I say, no.
