Tonight's episode of WWE RAW ended with Randy Orton brutally attacking WWE Hall of Famer and his mentor, Ric Flair. Orton defeated Kevin Owens in a hard-hitting contest, and went on to berate Flair in a lengthy promo. Just when it seemed like things had calmed down between the two, Orton hit a low blow on Flair.

Orton then proceeded to deliver a devastating Punt on a fallen Flair. The ending to the show saw Drew McIntyre rush to the ring, as Orton bailed. Now, WWE Network's official Twitter handle has posted an exclusive clip, showing the aftermath of Orton's ruthless attack on Flair. The video shows medical personnel placing a semi-conscious Flair on a stretcher and taking him to the back, while McIntyre checked on him.
Randy Orton has brought back his ruthless persona once again
The year 2020 has been a wild ride for Randy Orton. The vicious heel that we saw back in 2009-10 is back again, and he is more dangerous than he has ever been. Orton brutalized his once best friend Edge, on the road to WrestleMania 36. He attacked Matt Hardy as well, and didn't flinch while delivering an RKO on eevn Beth Phoenix.
Flair was Orton's mentor when the two were a part of Evolution, back in 2003. Not many thought that Orton would stoop to such a level, even though he has shown that he isn't one to be trusted.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
