The night after the Royal Rumble The Viper unleashed an assault on The Rated-R Superstar that sickened many fans around the world, given the fact that Edge had only made his return the night before after being sidelined due to a neck injury.

Edge was on the sidelines for almost a decade following the issue that saw him step aside in 2011 and this was his big return, but it was cut short by Orton just a day later. There was no one around to save Edge from Orton's attack, even though Edge is one of the most liked stars in the locker room, so why would anyone save Hardy?

Matt Hardy doesn't have any friends in the locker room at present with his former Tag Team partner Bray Wyatt over on SmackDown and his brother dealing with his own issues, so the former Champion was a sitting duck for Orton and regardless of his injuries at the top of the show, Hardy was always going to be stretchered out of the arena.
