3 Heart-Stoppingly Brutal Randy Orton Matches

#1 Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton (Hell in a Cell) - Hell in a Cell

Match:

In possibly the most brutal match of his career, Randy Orton faced off against Jeff Hardy inside the Hell in a Cell structure. The match was the one to kickstart the night and brutal from the get-go. Hardy was sent through the support of a ladder and hit with chairs.

The most brutal and cringe-worthy moment was when Orton inserted a screwdriver in Jeff's ear piercing and started to twist it, mangling it.

The rest of the match was no less brutal. The Swanton Bomb on a steel chair, the chair cutting Randy's leg open and his back getting torn up as well, the belt shots, all of it combined made for some extreme content.

The final moment of the match saw Jeff climb to the top of a ladder and hang from the cell, before falling through a table face first. This allowed Orton to pin him and win the bout.

The sheer brute force used in this match cannot be questioned.
