00:00I have voices in my head, they come to me, they understand, they talk to me.
00:13It was in this building on January 19th earlier this year on Monday Night Raw
00:18that Randy Orton's path to destruction really began.
00:21It was the night that Randy Orton hunted the chairman of this company in the skull,
00:26Mr. McMahon, beginning his path of destruction against the McMahon family.
00:33And it's led us to tonight where Randy Orton himself has said,
00:37we're looking at the man that the entire WWE revolves around.
00:42The WWE chick.
00:43And there are many who will not argue that point.
00:46Randy Orton not only took out Mr. McMahon, but he took out Shane McMahon.
00:49He took out Stephanie McMahon, and then he did the unthinkable at Backlash.
00:54He punted Triple H in the skull, eliminating the game from the equation.
01:01Well, Randy Orton has eliminated a lot of his competition.
01:06But one man he thought he had eliminated is now back for retribution here tonight at Judgment Day.
01:16Randy Orton claims that Batista will not win the WWE Championship tonight.
01:24And Randy Orton is living his destiny.
01:32Well, those are all words, much like the words we heard earlier from Chris Jericho.
01:37What a great match that was, but his words didn't come through.
01:40We'll see how Randy Orton's words play out.
01:47Randy Orton once said, you don't have to like him, but you have to respect him.
01:52Do you believe in those words?
01:54Well, I know Randy Orton believes it.
01:57And let's face it.
01:58I mean, it's hard to argue with success.
02:02Have you heard Randy Orton say himself, he is a success, and that's the truth.
02:07He has the goal to prove it.
02:10He has the one loss record to prove it.
02:12He has the ass of destruction to prove it.
02:15Talk to me.
02:16Talk to me.
02:18Talk to me.
02:26Like you said earlier, Michael, judgment day is the day you pay for your sins.
02:32And Randy Orton has racked up a boatload of sins.
02:36Will he pay for them tonight?
02:40Talk to me.
03:30You're looking at the man, and it's coming with one purpose in mind, and that's the hurt.
03:37Randy Orton.
03:39Batista said earlier today that it's like a DVD playing over and over in his mind.
03:45The night back in December, when Randy Orton printed him in the skull,
03:49costing him four months of his career,
03:51and costing him the opportunity
03:53to perform at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
04:00And the way you hurt Randy Orton the most is by taking the thing that means the most to Randy
04:07Orton,
04:07and that's the WWE Championship.
04:09Now Batista won that opportunity by defeating the Big Show a couple of weeks ago in a number one contender's
04:15match.
04:16And tonight,
04:17it's Batista versus Orton for the WWE title.
04:31Look at the intensity.
04:33Look at that look on the animal's face.
04:35He'd like to break Randy Orton in half.
04:41But the very wary Orton with that very icy face,
04:49the icy stare.
04:51No, and ice water in his veins.
04:53You can bet on that.
04:54Come on, Randy!
04:55I'm done!
04:57This match is set for one fall,
04:59and it is for the WWE Championship.
05:04Introducing first the challenger from Washington, D.C.,
05:10weighing in at 290 pounds,
05:12Batista!
05:20And from St. Louis, Missouri,
05:22weighing in at 245 pounds,
05:25he is the WWE Champion,
05:28Randy Orton!
05:35These two competitors have a couple of things in common.
05:38They're both four-time champions.
05:40They both learn the tricks of the trade
05:42in one of the legendary groups, Evolution.
05:44But other than that,
05:45they're polar opposites.
05:47Orton, the third-generation superstar,
05:49learning from his grandfather and his father.
05:51For Batista,
05:52brought up in a single-parent home,
05:53raised by his mother,
05:55learning on the rough streets of Washington, D.C.,
05:57to get him here tonight.
06:00All this past week,
06:01we heard rumors of some sort of altercation
06:05that Batista was involved in.
06:07Well, we see he's wearing the battle scars
06:09of that altercation.
06:11Eight stitches in the head of Batista,
06:13and that could be a factor in this match.
06:17I don't believe those stitches
06:18will slow the animal down, however.
06:22A testament to the intensity
06:24of that man.
06:26Man, we can only speculate that
06:29maybe Randy Orton had something to do
06:31with those stitches.
06:34WWE Championship on the line.
06:35First collar and elbow tie-up of the match,
06:37which is underway.
06:39Yeah.
06:44For Batista King,
06:45he's going to have to rely on the power gain.
06:48You're seeing a little bit of it right here.
06:50That massive headlock applied by Batista
06:53literally squeezed the blood
06:55right out of your head.
06:59For Randy Orton,
07:01the slightest
07:03that has gotten him to this point
07:04in his career.
07:07I just can't help but feel
07:08that everything we see
07:10from Batista tonight,
07:12it'll be intensified.
07:13It'll be, I mean,
07:14just that extra added emotion
07:20that pin-up frustration
07:21and rage inside Batista
07:23is going to be,
07:23I just can't help but feel
07:25it's going to be all let out.
07:26Randy Orton tonight.
07:27Can you blame the man?
07:28No, not at all.
07:33Oh, and exploding is Batista.
07:42Suplex by Batista.
07:44Power game early.
07:45Here's the cover.
07:45WWE title is on the line
07:48and a kick out by Orton at two.
07:50Well, we heard Batista say
07:52that he despises Randy Orton.
07:54He loathes over Randy Orton.
07:56Oh, Randy Orton.
07:57But also called it Batista
07:58the biggest mistake of his life
08:00for not wanting to join Legacy.
08:02Come on!
08:02The thing that Batista wants to do
08:04is hurt Randy Orton
08:05by taking that WWE title.
08:07But what Batista's got to do,
08:08he's got to keep his head.
08:10He's got to keep his wits about him.
08:11He can't lose focus.
08:13Well, he must lose his cool
08:14if he can't win,
08:15if he gets disqualified.
08:17Has to keep those emotions in check.
08:18And we've seen the emotions
08:19get the better of Batista
08:20over the past couple of weeks.
08:22Perfect example this past Monday night.
08:24Disqualified in a match.
08:30Well, the animal looks very much
08:31in control in the early going.
08:33Yeah, somehow I can't help
08:34but believe that Batista's
08:36waited so long for this.
08:37Oh, man.
08:38Look at the ever-opportunistic
08:40Randy Orton.
08:41Well, that's vintage Orton there.
08:45And now Orton looks to attack
08:47Standee dropkick.
08:50And it allows Orton, the champion,
08:52to buy himself some time.
08:54I don't know if anybody delivers
08:55a more potent or more perfect
08:57dropkick than Randy Orton.
09:01You can see, as Orton exited the ring,
09:04that unsettling look in his eyes.
09:06Oh, watch out here, watch out here, watch out here.
09:07Oh, it dropped me
09:08Batista right on the spine.
09:11Look at the eyes.
09:12I thought Orton was going to drop Batista
09:15backwards, head first, right into
09:17our fans there on that concrete floor.
09:23Distant look is returned to Orton
09:25as he regains control.
09:32I watch Orton in a match like this.
09:33Quickly, quickly into the cover for Orton.
09:35Hooks the leg, shoulder is down.
09:37And Batista powers out.
09:39It's like he goes into some sort of zone.
09:41I mean, he's in some sort of
09:42strange place in his own head.
09:46Could almost describe his emotion
09:47at times as emotionless.
09:50That makes sense.
09:52Well, maybe his face is emotionless,
09:55but I think there's
09:58all sorts of things going on
09:59in that statistic evil mind
10:01of Randy Orton's.
10:02This is where Orton's dangerous.
10:04Methodically taking his time,
10:06wearing his opponent down.
10:10And you see, look at now,
10:11Orton has shifted gears.
10:16It was at backlash.
10:18The tag team matchup that Orton won the championship.
10:23Cover again by Orton.
10:25Shops the forearm right in the jaw.
10:32And now it's Randy Orton who looks to wear down Batista.
10:37Well, we talked about
10:40Batista's
10:41pent-up rage and frustration.
10:43You know, I think that
10:45when we heard Randy Orton
10:46offer Batista an opportunity
10:49to join Legacy,
10:49I think Orton thought that Batista
10:51would gladly accept that.
10:52And when Batista didn't,
10:54I think that, uh,
10:56I thought Batista was considering
10:57considering it as well.
10:59Oh,
11:00I don't think he thought about it
11:01for one minute.
11:02Uh-oh.
11:02Look at Orton again.
11:05Knee to the back.
11:06Cover.
11:07Looks to put Batista way early.
11:09And I think Orton really felt
11:11Batista made a huge mistake
11:12when he didn't accept
11:14that invitation.
11:15If you notice King Albatista
11:17wincing in pain
11:18as his hand went to his back.
11:20Oh!
11:22But again,
11:23for Randy Orton,
11:24I mean,
11:24he's been waiting
11:25for this particular night
11:26for five years.
11:28Pen-up emotion of his own
11:29for Orton.
11:30He's been on this mission
11:31to exercise the demons
11:33of the days of evolution
11:36when he was excommunicated
11:37from that group.
11:39And this, once again,
11:40is, uh,
11:41we've seen Orton do this
11:42to numerous opponents.
11:44Oh!
11:46Just walk around
11:47and stomp on every,
11:50every, uh,
11:51arm, leg,
11:52appendage that's sticking out.
11:53Not only the physical assault,
11:54but mentally that has to
11:55wear your opponent down as well.
11:58Oh!
12:00Just being able to have you away.
12:02Orton's,
12:03I mean, let's face it.
12:04It's just,
12:05you gotta give the devil his due.
12:07He's a master at this.
12:08He wouldn't be the WWE champion
12:10if he wasn't.
12:12We just gotta look back to
12:13last month at Backlash
12:15the way he won the championships.
12:18Took the title from Triple H.
12:29He's just trying what he can.
12:31Gotta get back to a vertical base,
12:33bring the power game back to play,
12:34which he did there!
12:41You may think you have,
12:44you may think you have the upper hand
12:45on the animal
12:47at times,
12:48but
12:49Dave Bautista's so strong,
12:52so powerful,
12:53near 300 pounds.
12:58Orton's trying to block those punches
12:59the best he can.
13:01Oh, look at Orton back to the sleeper.
13:03But Bautista.
13:04Bautista able to turn it.
13:06More of a headlock.
13:07Oh, look at that!
13:10Once again!
13:11Beautiful standy drop kick to the jaw.
13:14Both feet
13:14right to the face
13:16of Bautista.
13:17Get it back to you, Bautista!
13:18Those are devastating.
13:20You can imagine,
13:21I mean,
13:22that's,
13:22imagine how much power
13:23you have in your arms,
13:25but you can imagine.
13:26Strength and power,
13:27oh,
13:27in both of Orton's legs.
13:29Or in Bautista's shoulder
13:30to that point.
13:31In again!
13:38Need to the temple.
13:39Looks to put Bautista away.
13:41Look at the look at Orton's eyes
13:43as he dropped Bautista.
13:44Skull first.
13:45Good grief.
13:49Bautista just
13:50is this what Orton was looking for?
13:52Look how he wraps up both legs.
13:54Shoulders down
13:54and a kick out at two.
13:59We always call Orton the Viper,
14:00but the way that he went into that,
14:02near fall,
14:03they're almost
14:04python-like.
14:05I don't know
14:05about anybody,
14:06even Bautista.
14:08That's the strength
14:09or the ability
14:09to somehow
14:11get your shoulders up.
14:12Uh-oh,
14:12right in here.
14:12And look at Orton.
14:14We've seen this
14:16diabolical
14:17stare down
14:18preparing himself.
14:24Bautista
14:25doesn't realize
14:26what is
14:27transpiring behind him.
14:29Randy Orton
14:36just thinking
14:36and calculating
14:37each and every move.
14:39Oh, no.
14:39Wait a minute.
14:40Look at this.
14:41Look at it.
14:41Take Bautista
14:42out with a kick.
14:43What a spear!
14:46Bautista
14:47thwarted the putt!
14:50Orton wanting to put Bautista
14:53back where he once was
14:55in the hospital
14:56with another vicious putt,
14:57but Bautista countered.
14:58Bautista with a huge spearhead
15:01and a goal of the win.
15:02Let's watch this
15:03one more time.
15:05Orton and Tenno
15:05delivering that putt
15:06instead.
15:07They almost got broken
15:08in half.
15:09And perhaps the momentum
15:10has shifted
15:11to the animal Bautista
15:12with the WWE Championship
15:14on the line.
15:19Orton can't trade punches
15:21with the best of them
15:21and I don't know
15:22if he's going to win
15:23a slugfest
15:24with the animal.
15:29Ooh!
15:31What a glancing blow.
15:33Bautista!
15:34And I believe
15:35the animal
15:36is enraged.
15:43Oh, man.
15:44And this is where
15:45Bautista's scary.
15:47Near a 300-pounder.
15:51Cover!
15:52Can he pin the champion?
15:53Two count
15:54and a two and a half!
15:55Orton rolls the shoulder out.
15:59By the look
16:00on Bautista's face,
16:01I believe Bautista
16:02thought he won
16:03the championship there.
16:08Well, Bautista's done
16:09he's done some damage
16:10but
16:12he hasn't hit him
16:13he hasn't hit Orton
16:14with anything
16:16capable of putting him
16:17away yet.
16:17Now look at Orton.
16:18I don't know.
16:18Count!
16:20Count!
16:22Count!
16:22Count!
16:23Count!
16:23Count!
16:24Count!
16:24Count!
16:25Count!
16:26Count!
16:26Count!
16:26Count!
16:26Count!
16:26Count!
16:26You got him!
16:28You got him!
16:29You got him!
16:30Free!
16:31Orton just said
16:32he just said
16:32count me out!
16:33Begging the referee
16:34for a count out here.
16:35Wolfie could be
16:36if he's counted out
16:36Orton will retain
16:37the championship.
16:39And Bautista
16:40realizing this
16:41knows he's got to
16:43get Orton back
16:43in the ring.
16:46A title can only
16:47change hands
16:48via pin frame
16:49or submission.
16:51Referee is counting.
16:52Oh!
16:54Orton content
16:55to stay outside
16:55the ring
16:56for the count of ten.
16:58The chase on.
17:00A count of five
17:01by referee
17:01Mike Chioda.
17:03And look at Orton.
17:04He's going to just
17:05hold on to that
17:07ring post.
17:09The referee at seven
17:11really he has no choice
17:12but the count.
17:12Count of eight
17:13and Orton back in the ring.
17:14Batista pursued as well.
17:17And Batista
17:18and Orton beat the count
17:19back in.
17:19And Batista
17:21exploding.
17:22Cover.
17:23Will we crowd
17:24a new champion?
17:26And Batista
17:27almost took Orton's
17:28head off.
17:31I don't know
17:32but to me
17:33that's got to
17:35it's got to do
17:36something for
17:36the psyche of Batista
17:39to know that
17:40Orton was going to
17:41be content
17:42to get counted
17:42out here
17:43to save that title.
17:44Again Orton
17:45rolls out of the ring.
17:47And Batista
17:47hellbent on that
17:48finally the chase
17:49to happen again
17:50but may have no choice.
17:53Watch out
17:53this is where
17:54Orton's dangerous.
17:56With a stand chair
17:57he's always dangerous.
17:59I think he's going to
18:00intentionally get
18:01disqualified here.
18:03Oh wouldn't put it
18:03past him.
18:04Oh!
18:05Wouldn't allow
18:06to use it
18:06but Batista
18:07made sure.
18:11You've got to watch it Dave
18:14you've got to get
18:14back in the ring.
18:17Between Batista
18:18thwarting Orton's
18:19every attempt
18:20first the possible
18:22count out
18:22then the possible
