The post WWE TLC edition of WWE RAW opens with the entire WWE roster out on the stage as Triple H’s music plays and Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. In the ring, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon introduce the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton.

Orton makes his way out and the sea of WWE Superstars make way so he can pass through. Orton stops for a moment, notices John Cena and Daniel Bryan on each side of him, smirks, and raises both the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship.

Orton enters the ring and says everyone bought into the myth that he’s had everything handed to him in his career. He talks about winning the unification match. Orton tells the Superstars on the stage that he is better than all of them.
