Orton finally finished his great heel parade of his championship, then he slowly accepted the mic from Vickie. Orton surveyed the arena with his piercing eyes, then he slowly looked toward the hard camera and began… “The McMahon Family is mourning. All of them. Their last hope, their protector, their champion… has fallen.” Orton said that after five long years, he beat Triple H. Not only beat him, but he kicked Hunter as hard as he could in the skull just like he said he was going to do.

Orton said all the fans are exactly the same. Everyone in their 20s and younger hope for big things, but the odds are that we will amount to nothing. I remember this promo. Wasn’t this the promo from the night after Summerslam 2004 when he won his first WWE Title and asked people to stand up if they’re 20 years old and above? Anyways, “I am a success!” Orton screamed. Orton said he made an example of the entire McMahon Family.

Cue up the “Punt the McMahons” video package going back to the IED days of Orton punting Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon, DDT’ing Stephanie, and Punting Hunter last night. Back live, Orton finished watching the video package before posing in the corner one more time with the WWE Title belt. Vickie then said she’s so excited to have Orton on her show. (Boos) She’s happy to announce that Orton will have his first title match in three weeks at Judgment Day. His opponent will be the winner of Big Show vs. Batista in a #1 contender match tonight. Vickie giddily congratulated Orton one more time before giving Orton the mic again.

Orton said we need to know something. He said he is all that there is left on this show. “No need to like me, but no choice but to respect me,” he said. Orton told the wrestlers in the locker room to respect him too. He said Vickie might be the GM, but everyone in the locker room must answer to him. Orton said if he doesn’t get respect, they will end up just like Triple H. He said he doesn’t care if someone’s been here a day or ten years. Cue up MVP’s theme music for the interruption…

U.S. champion MVP came out on stage straight ballin’ while Orton didn’t look too pleased. MVP introduced himself, stealing Dolph’s gimmick apparently. MVP said what Orton has done is extremely impressive, but he’s U.S. champion and he doesn’t answer to anyone. Ouch. MVP waited for Orton to respond, but he handed the mic to Ted DiBiase. DiBiase welcomed him to Raw and said he doesn’t seem to be too bright. Unless he wants his first night on Raw to be the worst ever, he better turn around and leave. MVP said he’s not listening to Orton’s lackey. He said he doesn’t have a couple of A&F models to do his bidding, so he’s telling Orton straight up this isn’t the Randy Orton show.

MVP said no one came here to be talked down to, so dig this…Orton is the WWE champion, but that’s not going to last forever. If Batista or Big Show don’t beat Orton at Judgment Day, he’ll handle that himself. Cody took the mic and begged Orton to make an example out of MVP. Cody said they’ll beat MVP down, then Orton will land The Punt. It’s that simple. Orton thought things over, then he talked to Vickie about some booking decisions to be made. Vickie took the input, then booked a second main event tonight. First time ever…U.S. champion MVP vs. WWE champion Randy Orton.

MVP missed with a Chono boot in the corner, though, and Orton dumped MVP over the top rope to the floor. Suddenly, Shane McMahon stormed the ring with Kendo Stick in hand to blast the crap out of Orton. Shane then went up top and nailed a big elbow drop on Orton. Cody and Ted then stormed ringside with chairs in hand, but Shane took off from the ring and ran up the arena steps to the top of the arena. Shane wound up in the Skybox posing from the top of the arena toward Orton, Cody, and Ted, who glared up at him.

WINNER: No Contest, but technically Orton via DQ at 11:17
