#1: Randy Orton baited The Big Show into an Unsanctioned Match next week
From a storyline point of view, Randy Orton's recent WWE run has been quite excellent.
You can say what you want about a marketing blunder such as "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever", but the performers included in this long-term arc, from Edge to The Big Show, have brought out their best game here.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
This week's WWE RAW wasn't an absolute masterpiece when it came to Big Show and Orton's rivalry, but it was enough to reel viewers in for a Big Show vs. Randy Orton match in 2020.
Ric Flair proved to be an important factor here, as we finally got to know that the WWE Hall-of-Famer was only trying to suppress Orton's sadistic tendencies. Even though he may take Orton's side at the end of the day, "The Dirtiest Player in the Game" lived up to his moniker last night.
Did Flair help Orton to stage a scenario where The Viper only wanted to bait The Giant into an Unsanctioned Match, or does he actually care about the consequences of Orton's actions?
Either way, it was good to see how Orton defeated and used R-Truth to his own advantage, which balanced out the goofiness we might have endured otherwise.
