WWE Raw video highlights: Randy Orton addresses fireball attack

Following last Monday’s show-closing angle, this week’s Raw opened with Randy Orton addressing Alexa Bliss’ fireball attack.

Orton wore a mask and said he wasn’t just wearing it to protect himself but to shield everyone else from the horror he endured. Orton said that despite the agony he felt, he considers himself lucky because the fireball could have disfigured his entire face forever. Orton said he doesn’t blame Bliss — he blames “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. Orton said Bliss was merely The Fiend’s vehicle to try and stop him from achieving the inevitable, which is winning this year’s Royal Rumble.

Orton vowed to remain in the Royal Rumble and said nothing will stop him from winning it.

Bliss hosted an Alexa’s Playground segment with Raw Women’s’ Champion Asuka as the guest on last night’s Raw. During the segment, Bliss declared that she’s entering the women’s Royal Rumble match. Bliss later defeated Asuka in a non-title match in last night’s main event. Bliss transformed into a different version of herself during the match. The show then ended with Bliss saying “Let Me In” in The Fiend’s voice.
