June 17th, 2011
Randy Orton makes his way to the ring and says it's true that last week he was diagnosed with a concussion but it's also true that he doesn't give a damn. Orton says he's ready to fight tonight. Christian got what he wanted and that was a championship match this Sunday so he thinks it's only fair that he gets what he wants: the chance to beat the living hell out of Christian right here and right now.
Teddy Long's music hits and he says he can appreciate what Orton is feeling and he doesn't blame him. While he's unofficially ready to fight, Long has to officially receive his medical clearance yet. This may be a formality until Sunday but he can't let him fight tonight.
Christian's music hits and he says he can't believe how angry Orton is at him. Christian says he gave Orton something that he desperately needed: a concussion. That means he gave him one hell of an excuse. Christian says Orton can blame the concussion this Sunday when he beats him for the World Heavyweight Championship. He can use that excuse instead of the real reason that Christian is just plain better than Orton. Christian says he's sure the people won't think less of Orton when he beats him. He's the great Randy Orton, the Legend Killer. Christian says he'll do things Teddy Long style and polls the audience on if they'll feel less about him when he loses to Christian. They give a mixed response so I'm not sure how to interpret that response. Christian says that's good news. The really, really good news is when he beats him at Capitol Punishment, if he's really polite, five days after he beats him, he'll give him a rematch.
Sheamus's music hits and he comes out to the stage. Sheamus says between Orton's concussion, Christian's constant whining, and Teddy Long's general incompetence, everyone has forgotten the big picture. Last week he beat Randy Orton, the World Heavyweight Champion. Sheamus asks who deserves it more: the man who's lost fifty title matches in a row or the man who beat the World Champion. Christian interrupts and says his match is set so strawberry shortcake will have to wait his turn.
They argue on stage until Long stops them. Long says tonight's main event will be Sheamus taking on Christian. If Sheamus wins then this Sunday the title match will become a triple threat match. If Christian wins then the match will stay as is. As for Randy Orton, for him to be best prepared for Capitol Punishment this Sunday, he's giving him a ringside seat. Long leaves the ring and grabs a chair, putting it in front of the announcer's table. Long says during the match Orton can look and watch but can't touch. If he does there will be serious consequences. Orton says there's no question: tonight there will be serious consequences.
