WWE had some incredible moments over the week with Randy Orton starring in a couple of them
Randy Orton started his own rivalry with Keith Lee on Raw this week. That culminated in a battle at WWE Payback which Lee won.
However, the Viper had already caused a lot of problems for lee after he attacked Drew McIntyre.
The Scot picked up a serious injury in all this and that is where we start this piece with
1) Orton sends a message
Orton might have lost to McIntyre but he sent a message to the WWE Champion. He attacked him on Raw and even fractured his jaw, which was earlier reported as his skull.

Orton could have been battling McIntyre but he switched to Lee to push the other star. Nevertheless, his attack on McIntyre was shocking and it certainly was something that got people talking.
2) New Paul Heyman guy
Roman Reigns is a Paul Heyman Guy. That’s it. That’s the update.

No really. That’s it. What a moment.
3) Celebration time
Speaking of moments. It was incredible to learn that Tyler Breeze and Fandango picked up their first WWE titles after getting the NXT tag titles.
Let the championship celebration BEGIN!

The pair had been in WWE for close to a decade. However, they were finally able to win some gold by defeating Imperium.
The pair celebrated wildly and they seem to be popular champions on WWE.
4) Charles Robinson
Payback might have had some incredible matches, but one moment stood out a lot.
Referee Charles Robinson had to sell the ring collapsing after The Fiend and Braun Strowman clashed.

However, he did over sell the move and provided one of the funniest moments of the week. Robinson did apologise for his move but this was still a great moment for the referee and it showed how hard non-wrestlers have to work even if they aren’t the main attraction.
5) Baszler’s unique tap out
Questions regarding Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax teaming up were laid to rest, a bit in their clash at Payback.
Baszler and Jax are the new tag champions and the Queen of Spades pulled off a great submission move too.
We won’t have any problems if proper respect is maintained! https://t.co/lPwIUO6IAh

It will be interesting to see how the team does in the coming months. However, they have the ability to dominate WWE thanks to their power.
