00:00is to put your opponent through the table.
00:14Introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri,
00:18weighing in at 235 pounds,
00:21he is the Apex Predator,
00:24Randy Orton!
00:27Well, I'm really excited to see Lily Garcia back
00:30with you there on SmackDown now,
00:31but I'm more excited to see Randy Orton here tonight.
00:35Now, ladies and gentlemen, Randy Orton
00:36in a Beat the Clock challenge with Wade Barrett
00:39a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown.
00:41Beat the Clock, so he got to choose the stipulation
00:44for tonight's matchup against Barrett.
00:46It is a table smash.
00:49And again, you heard the rules.
00:51You have to put your opponents through one of those tables
00:53to win here tonight.
00:55The clock, I'm trying to hear
00:56I'm feeling tense and plastic
00:59I need more tears in my head
01:02Thank you to me, they understand
01:05They talk to me
01:06They talk to me
01:09They talk to me
01:11They talk to me
01:12They talk to me
01:14They talk to me
01:16Well, you're talking about being put through a table.
01:32That's the only way you're going to be able to win this match.
01:34But for the last few weeks, Wade Barrett has put Randy Orton through a lot of extra misery and abuse and mind gains and all this sort of stuff.
01:43So tonight, all that's out the window.
01:45Tonight, it's about one thing, putting your opponent through a table.
01:49And here's the opponent, from Manchester England, weighing in at 246 pounds, Wade Barrett.
02:04Well, ladies and gentlemen, Wade Barrett has claimed that he is in the head of Randy Orton,
02:09essentially, quote, turning the tables on Randy.
02:13And I'm beginning to believe it.
02:16You are.
02:16It was last month in Liverpool, England, the whole country of Mr. Barrett.
02:20Wade Barrett really shocked a lot of people when he defeated Randy Orton in a one-on-one matchup.
02:26Then at Survivor Series, Team Barrett would defeat Team Orton.
02:30And ever since then, Barrett has been causing Orton all kinds of matchups with distractions here and there.
02:37Barrett believes that he's next in line for a World Championship opportunity, but he has to get through Orton to do that.
02:43Well, I'm sure Wade Barrett does believe that.
02:45But what you said is exactly right, he has to get through Orton earn that right.
02:49And, well, that's what this is all about tonight.
02:52He has to get through Orton, but he may get put through a table.
02:56So again, to win this matchup, you have to put your opponent through one of the tables that surround the ring here.
03:06And it's Randy Orton, a nine-time world champion, winner of the 2009 Royal Rumble, to take on Wade Barrett.
03:15No pinfall, no submissions in this matchup.
03:19And there is no shortage.
03:20Just look, no shortage of tables around ringside, is there?
03:23They're everywhere, Randy Orton and Wade Barrett.
03:25Serious personal rivalry development between these two men as they unload in the early going.
03:31So what type of strategy, Jerry, do you use in a tables match?
03:34Well, you know, you really have to be defensive in this kind of match.
03:38I mean, you have to be on guard at all times.
03:40You know, I mean, a table can be put in the ring by your opponent at some point in the match.
03:45And you've got to realize it there and not forget that it's there.
03:48Look here, table being brought into play early on here.
03:51And again, the rules of the matchup.
03:54And Randy Orton.
03:56Oh, and as you see Barrett, you can use that table to your advantage as he did there.
04:01And he smacked Randy right in the forehead.
04:05Wade Barrett goes 6'7".
04:07He's 246 pounds, a former bare-knuckle fighting champion.
04:12Yeah, Wade Barrett is deceptively big guy.
04:14I mean, look at this, you know, heck, Randy Orton's a big guy, but Wade, I believe Wade Barrett's bigger than Randy.
04:21Watch this once again.
04:22Listen.
04:24Second smack was that chair, or that table, rather, bouncing off the head of Randy Orton.
04:29Now it's Barrett looking to introduce the table.
04:31Wade Barrett suffered a broken nose a number of weeks ago, and when I asked him about it, he said he was proud of him.
04:35It was a badge of honor in his world.
04:38And look at him.
04:39And again, he may have another broken nose there.
04:41I'm sure it's happened many times.
04:43When you look at him, he may be from England, but he's got a Roman nose.
04:46It runs all over his face.
04:47He's been broken so many times.
04:48And he said he never got it fixed because he likes the look with a broken nose.
04:51Makes it look tough for him, he said.
04:53And again, and you see the damage already has been done to Barrett by the table.
04:57Some people are just like that.
04:58You know what?
04:58I think you would look great with a broken nose.
05:01I've had it broken three times.
05:02In fact, I think you did it at WrestleMania.
05:05Right here, right?
05:05That's the best you've ever looked at.
05:07And Barrett in all kinds of trouble.
05:08Look at Randy Orton now, assembling the tables.
05:11We take another look.
05:11Watch this and listen to this again.
05:14That's a mess.
05:16Randy Orton's got some momentum coming into this matchup.
05:18He and Zack Ryder defeated Barrett and Ziggler a couple of nights ago on SmackDown in a tag team matchup.
05:24You see the table perfectly set up.
05:25It's ready to go.
05:26I mean, literally anything can happen here.
05:29Look at all those tables.
05:32And again, no pinfall submission, countout, or disqualification.
05:35So all this action out here on the entranceway completely legal.
05:40And if Barrett could put Orton through a table here, Barrett would win this matchup.
05:43You're right.
05:43That's why I say part of your strategy is it has to be a defensive match.
05:47Oh.
05:50And Wade Barrett.
05:53Oh, look at this.
05:54Maybe going through that pump-angle slam.
05:56Look at Randy Orton through the table early.
05:58And in this thing, and Randy Orton counters.
06:01And a smart move by Barrett.
06:02That's a defensive move.
06:03That's what you got to do.
06:05Be aware of where those tables are and where you might go, where you might land.
06:09Barrett turned around right into Orton and realized that Randy could put him through the table and knock the table out of the way.
06:17Back toward the ring they come.
06:21You can see some of that built-up, pin-up frustration.
06:25On the face of Randy Orton.
06:27You know, sometimes you have matches with opponents and maybe several matches with them.
06:33You know, you don't necessarily detest them.
06:35Look at, look at, look at, look at, look at, tell Randy glances over his shoulder at that table that's set up there.
06:39And Orton perhaps going for a suplex, looking to put Barrett through the table.
06:43And Wade Barrett blocks.
06:44Now it's only in trouble, Scott, first off the post.
06:47Oh!
06:48Double whammy there by Wade Barrett, and he's got Randy real in here.
06:53You think with Wade Barrett and his bare knuckle background that this type of atmosphere, this type of match favors him?
07:00I don't know, I don't know if the bare knuckle background is gonna come into play that much.
07:06As tough as they come, Wade Barrett says it's all about himself, it's all about making money now.
07:28It's all about winning championships.
07:30But in order to do that, he realizes he's got to get through Randy.
07:34Yeah, well, you know, he can say that all he wants.
07:36As I started to say earlier, sometimes you have matches with guys you don't necessarily dislike them.
07:41You're just trying to beat them, you're just trying to win.
07:43But these two guys have genuinely developed a rivalry.
07:47They can't stand each other.
07:50Karen's just punishing Orton.
07:52Watch out here, Randy.
07:57And that table's set up there at ringside, if Orton goes through, Barrett will be the winner.
08:03Oh, this is dangerous.
08:09Barrett's got to be real careful.
08:10Well, Barrett can jump up as he lands on Randy, and Randy, and Barrett,
08:17luckily Barrett did not launch himself before Orton rolled off the table.
08:22And look at this.
08:24And you've got to put your opponent through the table as you see Barrett driving Orton,
08:28kidney first, into the apron.
08:32Again.
08:34Randy, he's in a bad way right now.
08:42And Barrett able to just, he's got Randy where he wants him, he's able to just kind of take his time now.
08:50Oh, my.
08:55Wade Barrett delivering that elbow to the heart of Orton.
09:00And the Barrett barrage, as Wade Barrett likes to call his run to the top of the mountain here in WWE is rolling right now.
09:08You've got a guy that big, six foot seven, coming off that second rope with a big elbow dropping right across your chest and sternum and neck.
09:15Boy, you feel that for a long time.
09:18This is all legal, no disqualifications in the tables match.
09:24No pinfall, no submission, no count outs.
09:27That's why these matches are doubly dangerous, and you can basically get away with anything.
09:32Look at Randy, Randy is in trouble.
09:34Perched precariously with the table behind him, and Randy Orton luckily landed on the apron.
09:40Barrett was trying to kick Orton out of the ring and through the table, didn't happen.
09:44I'm gonna tell you, one of Randy's legs hooked that second rope.
09:48And I don't even know if he did it on purpose in his hand.
09:51That's all that saved him.
09:52This match would be over.
09:53Watch Randy's leg and his hand.
09:56Almost just instinctively, instinctively by Orton.
10:01Now Barrett's gonna try his fare with a table in the ring.
10:05It's legal as well.
10:07The table doesn't have to be set up.
10:10You're gonna eat off of it.
10:11You can put it up in that position right there and run your opponent face first through it.
10:15You're still a winner.
10:16And Wade Barrett looking to do just that.
10:18This may do it.
10:19Randy Orton in trouble.
10:21Barrett barrage time.
10:22Wade Barrett.
10:24And here comes Orton.
10:27And the WWE's apex predator is on the hunt.
10:31I love that slam.
10:39I almost feel like Randy should have to go to that place that only he knows where he goes.
10:43That scary look he gets on his face.
10:45And Barrett realized the DDT was coming, there's a table there again.
10:49And Barrett, this time gets hung up.
10:53That table is just waiting there ominously.
11:02Hello, both these men.
11:04If I was either one of these guys right now.
11:07Uh-oh, Wasteland.
11:08Wasteland.
11:09Wasteland through a table.
11:10Barrett going through Wasteland.
11:11Let's get into career.
11:12Orton trying to fight out if he does.
11:13And now Orton.
11:18Orton looking to plant Wade Barrett here.
11:26Vintage Orton.
11:29Randy Orton, the Viper is coiled, looking for the RKO.
11:46Barrett, boy, Randy Orton just hanging on.
11:49He runs right into the spinning sidewalk slam.
11:52Man.
11:53Man.
11:57Furious action between these two men.
12:00In a move like that, not only did Randy land on the back of his head, but that
12:03would have knocked every bit of breath, every bit of air and wind you got in your body out of you.
12:07Now Barrett decides what's in the playbook next.
12:12Oh, watch out here with that chair.
12:14I mean, that table.
12:15Uses the table to his advantage.
12:16Slammed it right across Randy Orton's helpless body there.
12:21Barrett has given Randy everything he can handle and more.
12:29I mean, dominating parts of this matchup.
12:32Just moments ago, it looked like Randy had everything in hand.
12:36And he was about to go to that place.
12:37He was about to win this thing, but the table could certainly turn around.
12:41No pun intended.
12:43Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy.
12:54May just be a matter of moments before Wade Barrett wins this matchup.
12:57Yeah.
12:59He moves even closer to his goal.
13:01And you know Wade Barrett's got something devious in mind.
13:05He would like to end this thing with a flare.
13:07He would like to end this thing in some kind of...
13:10Wild fashion here, what's he gonna do?
13:14Wade Barrett looking to pull on to the table.
13:17Looking to drive the RKO, RKO to the table.
13:21Randy Orton.
13:23Here is your name, Randy Orton.
13:29The Viper strikes.
13:30I gotta think that Randy Orton may have been playing
13:37a little bit of possum there, making Wade Barrett think
13:41he was more out of this thing than he was.
13:43The Viper waited, lying in wait for Wade Barrett to come
13:49flying off that rope, and he turned it into an immediate RKO.
13:54Well, the Barrett Barrage was on fire for most of the matchup,
13:57and it looked like he was gonna win this thing.
14:00And drive an elbow through the chest of Orton and put Orton
14:03through the table, but it didn't happen.
14:05Yeah, you're right, early on, earlier in this match,
14:07Randy went for an RKO.
14:09Wade Barrett was able to shove him, and you see.
14:12Randy's head bouncing hard off the mat.
14:16He was in big-time trouble there.
14:18Wade Barrett thought at this point he had won this thing, but no way.
14:21Randy Orton caught him in mid-air with an RKO.
14:25Look at Randy Wade, and there it is.
14:27Wow.
14:28That was pretty.
14:32Randy Orton, at least for the moment, has slowed the Barrett Barrage.
14:47Slowed it.
14:48It's an understatement.
14:52What a physical battle between these two SmackDown superstars.
14:55It's like the Viper was just lying and waiting on the table, waiting for his opening, his moment.
15:09He struck from out of nowhere.
15:11Can we see that one more time?
15:13Yes.
15:14One more time.
15:15This is absolutely amazing.
15:16Here comes Barrett.
15:17And there goes Barrett.
15:18Courtesy of an RKO right through the table.
15:20Oh, your frown is getting bigger and bigger.
15:33None of your favorites have won so far tonight, have they?
15:38No.
