01:54And he's attorney, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds.
02:00He is the Apex Predator, Randy Orton!
02:09Randy Orton and Chris Jericho have had a very long storied history.
02:14A couple of weeks ago on the season premiere of Monday Night Raw,
02:17Chris Jericho was in the trainer's room.
02:19He was being treated for an injured knee that he hurt with a cross body off the steel cage in a match against Bray Wyatt.
02:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:28All right, hold on, hold on.
02:29Let's ace this down, okay?
02:30Let me wrap this on.
02:31Oh, fuck!
02:34You're not freaking handed to me, huh?
02:36Fuck!
02:49Sorry, Chris.
02:51What can I say?
02:53Well, it's the season premiere.
02:55Oh!
02:58And in fact, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton would help us kick off tonight here at Night of Champions,
03:04part of the Night of Champions kickoff show.
03:06An hour long tonight before the Night of Champions pay-per-view.
03:10Chris Jericho was a guest in Christian's peep show.
03:13Randy Orton would interrupt and have a back and forth with Chris Jericho.
03:17Orton telling Jericho, after I beat you tonight, the only TV show you're going to be on is Total Divas.
03:26I like Total Divas.
03:27I love Total Divas.
03:28I love Total Divas.
03:29It's a great show.
03:30Who said it had me on?
03:31Vintage Jericho said Randy's show would be Total Jack.
03:36Don't say it.
03:37A double credit letter.
03:39I learned that from Road Dogg.
03:42Jericho and Randy Orton.
03:44John, 18 World Championships among the two.
03:48Orton, a 12-time World Champion.
03:50Jericho, a six-time World Champion.
03:52Plus, the first ever undisputed World Champion.
03:56Randy Orton, the first ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
04:01Two guys who have made history.
04:05You know, Chris Jericho beat The Rock King and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night.
04:11Well, very impressive.
04:13And he hasn't slowed down since.
04:15If you don't think he's got a chance to beat Randy Orton quickly here tonight, you've got another thing coming.
04:20Jericho's fired up.
04:21Steven got a rock song out.
04:22Lights go out in the top 30.
04:23Yeah, from the band Fozzy.
04:25Here we go.
04:26You know, Randy Orton, a few years ago, hunted Chris Jericho.
04:30Chris Jericho missed a lot of, many, many months of action.
04:34Almost cost Jericho his career because of that.
04:36And Jericho has not forgotten.
04:38You know, Randy, Penny Orton never showed any remorse about that whatsoever.
04:43You know, Christian alluded to it tonight in the peep show on the kickoff show.
04:47But Chris Jericho's talked about it all along.
04:49The difference between he and Randy Orton.
04:51Jericho talks about working hard to make it here at WWE.
04:55He talks about how in his mind, Randy Orton's handed to him.
04:58Being a third generation superstar, hooking up with the likes of Triple H and
05:02Ric Flair early in his career in Evolution.
05:04Now being a, quote, lap dog for the authority.
05:07JBL, I'm sure you won't agree with that, will you?
05:09I don't agree at all with it.
05:10He's a 12-time world champion.
05:12You don't get that by getting things handed to you.
05:15You said all along, you build a sports entertainer from the ground up,
05:18it looks like Randy Orton is bred to be a champion.
05:22I hate to agree with you, KBL, but I got to.
05:25Randy Orton, he has worked hard for everything he's got.
05:30And he's got a lock. Whoa.
05:31By Y2J as Orton knocked over the top rope.
05:35He was great over the, uh, look at Jericho.
05:39Oh, look at Jericho.
05:41Oh, boy.
05:42Baseball slide knocks Orton right down here in front of us.
05:45Watch your mountain do.
05:50Ow!
05:51Orton bounced off the Spanish announce table.
05:53Right table.
05:56That was slapped in the back of the head.
05:58That's, uh, insult to injury right there.
06:00Oh! That's injury.
06:01Orton driven into the steel steps.
06:03Two of the all-time greats going at it in this matchup here tonight.
06:08Chris, a record nine-time Intercontinental Champion.
06:13And Randy Orton right to the chest.
06:16You know, it's interesting.
06:17All the great programming on the WWE Network for...
06:219.99. How much?
06:229.99.
06:23I was watching, uh, some of the Monday Night War
06:26and some of the great Raws from the Attitude Era over the past week.
06:29Remember the night Chris Jericho debuted back in 1999 in Chicago
06:33and he interrupted The Rock,
06:35one of the all-time greats segments on Monday Night Raw.
06:39I generally just watch all my old stuff.
06:41And I also had the opportunity to watch Randy Orton
06:43in the night that he became the youngest world champion of all time.
06:48The night that Evolution turned thumbs down on Mr. Orton.
06:52And now, Chris Jericho trying to continue to turn thumbs down on Randy Orton.
07:00Jericho went into the corner.
07:02Knocking Orton down.
07:11Jericho gingerly making his way to the top rope.
07:14Orton back to his feet and takes advantage.
07:16Took too long. Too long.
07:18One of the reasons he's the apex predator of WWE.
07:22You cannot give the Viper an opening like that.
07:24It's difficult standing up there.
07:25I don't remember every time I stood up there.
07:26I just got dizzy.
07:28You don't have too many memories of that, do you?
07:31I'm dizzy a lot.
07:33So you went to the top rope a lot.
07:34I remember a story that you used to tell me about climbing the steel cage for the first time.
07:38What's overthinkin' here?
07:40Speaking of steel cage, it's an incredible steel cage match between Jericho and Bray Wyatt a couple of weeks ago in that season premiere of Monday Night Raw.
07:52It certainly was, and it looked like Chris Jericho had it won thanks to Harper and Rowan.
07:58Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
07:59Randy Orton now.
08:00Oh, boy.
08:01Top rope.
08:02In trouble.
08:03That's a long way down.
08:05Damn.
08:10That will jar everything inside your body.
08:13And Randy Orton, here's the cover on Jericho and a kick out in two.
08:16Bones, internal organs, everything.
08:19Look at Randy Orton.
08:20He's feeling the effects of his superplex as well.
08:22Watch the impact.
08:23Randy Orton's smiling.
08:24What?
08:25Yeah, this is, this is...
08:26How far that is.
08:28But Randy Orton finds humor in the misfortunes of others.
08:31He is happy right now.
08:32Don't you?
08:33No.
08:34He made a career on that.
08:37Still trying.
08:39Randy Orton cranking it up.
08:42I wanna thank everyone for watching Night of Champions tonight live on the WWE Network in over 170 countries worldwide, also on Pay Per View.
08:51They're watching live in countries tonight like the United Kingdom, Chris Jericho's homeland of Canada, all throughout Europe, Middle East.
08:59Ooh!
09:00And Jeff goes down over the top rope and of course a special shout out to our U.S. Armed Forces.
09:09Watching on our bases around the world and on our ships at sea on the American Forces Network.
09:14I'm looking at a tweet I just got right now.
09:16I wish I could pronounce this guy's name.
09:18It's Sawatzky.
09:19He's in...
09:20I'm watching Night of Champions live in Poland on the WWE Network for just $9.99.
09:25You're in New York.
09:27Watch out.
09:28And the Viper's so dangerous.
09:29Outside the ring.
09:30And Jericho in trouble.
09:31And there's the backbreaker.
09:32Oh no.
09:33Jericho bounced off the barricade.
09:34And just like that Randy Orton off the sidestep.
09:35And look at Orton.
09:36Absolutely no absence of malice.
09:37Just cruel intentions by the Viper.
09:41Referee up to a count of seven and Orton made sure he got his prey back in the ring.
09:50Cover again on Jericho.
09:51Man, it's just a power attitude.
09:52Yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that powering out.
09:54Oh!
09:55Watch your diet mountain dude, John.
09:56It's all over your papers out here.
09:57I almost lost mine.
09:58Well, that was nice of it.
