WWE star Randy Orton reacts after losing to Bobby Lashley
Randy Orton and Bobby Lashley faced off against each other in Raw for the WWE Championship title, but The Viper couldn’t defeat Lashley and ended up losing the match.
Lashley successfully defended his title against Randy Orton after The Viper attempted an RKO only for The Almighty to give him a thunderous spear. Lasley pinned Orton with his second Spear after Orton was going to jump from the top rope.
After the match ended, Lashley gave a vicious spine buster to The Viper just outside the ring through the table.
But eventually, even Lashley lost the title to Big E, who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated The Almighty with the Big Ending as he became the New WWE Champion.
The Viper would have become a 15-time World Champion if he had beaten Lashley.
Just before the match against Lashley, Orton posted a picture of Number 15 on his Instagram account. Probably mentioning about the game that he will be a 15 time World Champion in WWE if he wins.
Sadly for The Viper, he lost the opportunity to capitalize his opportunities against Lashley and ended up losing the match.
After losing the match, Orton again posted a picture of Number 14, as he remained the 14-time World Champion in WWE.
Orton’s last WWE Championship reign came in for only 22 days on 25 October 2020 in the Hell in a Cell WWE PPV against Sheamus.
It will be interesting to see how Randy approaches the WWE Title as he would be eager to get his hands on the title.
