Why was Randy Orton fined before WWE RAW?

Hours before Randy Orton's title defense against Drew McIntyre, WWE has released a statement regarding the repercussions for Randy Orton's actions on last week's episode of RAW.

"WWE Champion Randy Orton has been fined an undisclosed amount for putting his hands on Adam Pearce last week on RAW."

Last week on RAW, Adam Pearce approached Randy Orton and told him that he would be defending the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre this week. The WWE Champion didn't like the idea and put his hands on Pearce, shoving him against the wall.
