Orton says he has every right to be upset with Flair but he just can’t be angry at The Nature Boy. Orton can’t find it in his heart but he has every right to be pissed at Flair because this match with Owens wasn’t necessary. Orton says Flair’s ego got him in this match in the first place last week. Flair looks on confused.
Orton goes on about Flair being the dirtiest player and how he’s grown up with Flair around him, learning everything he knows. Orton can’t be mad at The Nature Boy. Orton recalls 2000 or 2003 in Peoria, Illinois when he got himself into some trouble. Nobody came to help him but one person – Flair, who bailed him out of a predicament that only his dumbass, punk 22 year old self could get into. Orton not only loved Flair then, he respected him. Orton no longer loves or respects Flair because Flair is a liability to Orton and his career, and everything he’s trying to get done.
Orton says Flair took him under his wing years ago because he hoped Orton could be the son he wished he had. Flair looks to get emotional and Orton taunts him for pushing a few tears out. Orton yells at Flair for only being good for crying these days. Orton says this isn’t the Flair who taught him everything he knows and the same Ric Flair who everyone else knew. He mentions and takes shots at Flair having a pacemaker and being in a coma before. Orton calls Flair a junky for the spotlight and says he’s washed up, but he can’t do it anymore.
Flair takes the mic and says he’s taking this very personally, but he wants to tell Orton about himself. Flair says that old Ric Flair isn’t here anymore, Orton is right. Yes, he does like the spotlight and he likes to call Orton the greatest because he is. Yes he wants to be a part of the spotlight, he’ 70 years old and on RAW. Flair goes on praising Orton and says he’s here because he wants Orton’s approval. Flair wants to be there when Orton breaks his World Title record, not John Cena. Flair goes on, calling Orton the greatest and saying he does want to be here with Orton. Flair says he can’t get mad because after the time he spent in Intensive Care and in a coma, he woke up and all he wanted in life was to tell the people he hadn’t told, that he loves them and to make sure everybody he loved, knew how he felt. Flair says he’s not trying to take anything from Orton, he’s just Charlotte Flair’s dad who wants to be a part of Orton’s life. Orton tosses the mic from Flair’s hand and grabs him for a big hug. Orton grabs Flair again and whispers something in his ear. They nod and look to be on the same page. Flair turns his back and Orton hits him with a low blow.
Orton waits for Flair to get up. Orton delivers the punt just as the lights go back out. We don’t see the punt kick. The lights come back up and Flair is laid out. Drew checks on Flair and calls Orton an evil son of a b—h. WWE Producer Adam Pearce, a referee and medics come to the ring to check on Flair. Orton seethes and looks on from the stage, pacing round. The crowd chants “shame!” at Orton as he looks on. Drew stands up and stares back at Orton.
