There’s a Viper lurking again in WWE.
Former multi-time champion Randy Orton returned to the company last night at SummerSlam, interfering in the WWE Championship match attacking Cody Rhodes.
The referee took a bad bump, receiving a Cody Cutter by mistake after Punk moved out of the way. Punk hit a GTS but then Cody countered with a Cross Rhodes before a second attempt at a GTS failed. With the ref and Punk out of the ring, Orton sneaked in from the crowd and hit an RKO on his former tag team partner to a big pop from the crowd.
Orton looked straight at the hard cam, winked, and left the ring as quickly as he came in. That was followed by another GTS from Punk and a three count from the referee.
The Viper has not been seen on WWE television since WrestleMania 42 Sunday, where he lost his match against Rhodes in the main event. Orton brutally attacked Rhodes following the match but Orton disappeared from TV, due to an injury, and the attack was never followed up.
