Randy Orton is a name synonymous with greatness in the business and he was in for a massive fight against his friend-turned-foe Kevin Owens at the Crown Jewel event. However, the match didn’t even start as Owens ultimately laid out Orton in brutal fashion and now footage has shown Orton being carted out of the arena following the show.
Kevin Owens had promised to make Randy Orton pay for betraying him and choosing Cody Rhodes over him and The Prizefighter kept his word as soon as he entered the ring. Owens brutalized Orton with several chair shots, especially taking out Orton’s legs.
The match never officially started as Owens and Orton kept the fight going outside the ring. The final moments of the match saw Owens hitting Orton with the top of a road case and then laying Randy on a table. Climbing up to a raised area, Owens delivered an elbow drop, crashing them both through the table and this brought an end to the brutality.
WWE took to their Instagram and uploaded a video of Randy Orton following the match. Orton was so badly beaten that he was being carried out of the arena, as fans in attendance were clearly worried about his well-being.
“After a BRUTAL match with Kevin Owens, @randyorton had to be carried out of the arena… 😳 #WWECrownJewel”
We will have to wait and see whether The Apex Predator will end up taking time off due to the damage he sustained at Crown Jewel. After all, WWE has made it very clear that Kevin Owens is unhinged and will stop at nothing to destroy everyone he sees as an enemy.
