Dean Ambrose vs Randy Orton

There was dissension yet again in the Wyatt family

Dean Ambrose made his way out first, followed by The Wyatt family. A highlight of the previous week was shown where the miscommunication between the Wyatt Family led to Bray getting mule kicked by Luke Harper. This is the first time Ambrose and Orton went head to head in over two years. Ambrose started with the offence, even getting some ground-and-pound on Randy.

Ambrose started off with rest holds on Randy. Orton then countered into a headlock of his own. The match started very slow paced, and Orton started to work on Ambrose’s leg. Orton was dominant until a while later when he hit a rebound clothesline on Randy. Harper was tempted to interfere and attack Ambrose, but Bray stopped him. It didn’t take long for Orton to get more offence in, and he slammed Ambrose onto the announcer’s desk.

After the commercial break, the two exchanged a lot of back and forths, when Ambrose attempted a rebound lariat, Orton hit him with a scoop slam. Ambrose attempted Dirty deeds, which he tried to counter into an RKO, but Ambrose countered that into a rebound lariat. Orton still ended up dominating and hit the DDT from the middle rope. Harper came in the ring and tried to attack Ambrose, but Bray reasoned with him to stay out. Ambrose took advantage and pinned Randy Orton with the small package.

Dean Ambrose defeated Randy Orton.

After the match, Orton was furious, and a brawl between Harper and Orton was teased, with Bray once again serving as the voice of reason. Bray even struck Harper before he went further. He told Randy to get ready for a strike as well. The crowd was chanting “RKO”, and Harper then departed.
