At Extreme Rules, Randy Orton will face The Big Red Monster Kane in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. How extreme will The Viper go to finally put an end to his monstrous foe once and for all?
A WrestleMania rematch of epic proportions, the diabolic match stipulation will provide the perfect grounds for Orton and Kane to exorcise their inner demons. No strangers to brutal, dangerous bouts, its safe to assume that WWEs Apex Predator and resident monster will take each other to the edge on Sunday, April 29, to determine who will put the exclamation point on what has been a years worth of dissension.
The roots of this intense rivalry date back to July of last year, when Orton and Kane battled in an unforgettable Street Fight on SmackDown. In an effort to purge his humanity, Kane repeatedly struck Orton with a steel chair, an object that he brandished often over the course of the bout.
After the Street Fight ended, Kane, limping and battered, staggered over to the victorious Orton who was also limping from multiple, horrific chair blasts and, in an unexpected moment, extended his hand to WWE's Apex Predator in the ultimate sign of respect. Orton took Kanes hand and the two shook as men.
After battling John Cena for months on end, The Big Red Monster returned to Friday nights to find closure with The Viper with a profound desire to expunge himself of all traces of humanity.
Stalking The Viper for weeks on end, Kane would soon face Orton at WrestleMania in a bout that ended with a victory for The Devil's Favorite Demon, courtesy of a ring-shaking chokeslam off the top rope. Then, just five nights later on SmackDown, Orton defeated Kane in a vicious No Disqualification Match. The Viper got some redemption after his loss on The Grandest Stage of Them All, overcoming a ruthless steel chair assault to plant Kane with a resounding RKO. Instead of putting an end to this rivalry, however, Ortons victory only worked to raise the ire of the monster.
On SuperSmackDown LIVE: Blast from the Past on April 10, Ortons world went red during his match against Mark Henry when Kanes pyrotechnics interrupted the bout. Kane then appeared on the TitanTron to reveal that he had attacked Randys father and WWE Hall of Famer "Cowboy" Bob Orton, who lay motionless at the monsters feet. The Viper rushed backstage to help his dad, but Kane was waiting in the shadows with a pipe.
The assault on two generations of Ortons brought WWEs Apex Predator past his breaking point. On the April 20 episode of SmackDown, Orton emphatically stated his intentions for their Falls Count Anywhere Match at Extreme Rules, saying, "Kanes going to find out how sick and twisted I can be."
When they faced each other a year ago in a Street Fight on SmackDown, there was a mutual respect between Orton and Kane. This time around, that once-held respect is replaced by pure, simple hatred. The Street Fight ended with an RKO that drove the monsters skull down onto a steel chair. But now that Kane has fully exorcised his humanity, will their rematch at Extreme Rules have a different result? Or will WWEs Apex Predator finally get retribution on The Big Red Monster?
either way might be a pretty good match fully expecting randy orton to walk out the winner here
