Hunter talks about how much of a fan he is of Robot Chicken. Hunter talks about the episode on July 26th that happens to feature him. We have a clip. Seth says that Hunter was telling him about fighting whiny little girls since his first match with Randy Orton. Hunter says that he never called Orton a whiny little girl when Orton is a whiny little girl. Hunter says that Orton is just like Dakota Fanning because both lack male genitalia.

Speaking of whiny little girls, Randy Orton makes his way to the ring as only Randy Orton can. Orton says that he has something that Triple H does not and that is the WWE Championship. Orton asks Seth if he wants to take shots at him because Orton says that he is known for anger management issues and he does not care how big or pathetically small they might be.

Hunter suggests a main event of him and Randy Orton. Orton says that Seth doesn’t want to do that because Cena and Hunter are going to lose at Night of Champions so he shouldn’t have to lose tonight. Hunter suggests that he drop Orton right now. Orton says that he has nothing to say to Hunter or Seth Green. Orton wants to know why Seth is here and asks him if he has ever been in a fight. Orton says that Seth is here because someone might mistake him for a real man.

Seth asks Randy if he wants to hear about tonight’s main event. Seth suggests that Randy Orton and Legacy will fight Triple H and John Cena. . . and to avoid an Epsenhart conniption, Seth Green will complete the six man tag match.

Jericho says that he had a clause put in the contract for the title match that if Edge was injured, he could select his own tag team champion.
