#2 Best: Randy Orton's mean streak continues

Randy Orton showed his devious side yet again

At first, it was Jeff Hardy's ear lobe. And now the focus has shifted to Tye Dillinger's fingers, which must be in a world of hurt, in the world of kayfabe. Randy Orton was a merciless man when he squared off against Dillinger this week.

I am loving this new side to Orton. He seems sadistic and deranged, and it almost seems natural to him. It's hard to forget that he was a babyface, not so long back.

The fans chanting “9! 9! 9! 9!” as Tye Dillinger gets his fingers potentially broken by Randy Orton is one of the darkest and most creative chants I’ve heard from a WWE crowd. #WWE #SDLive

Randy Orton seems like he's the only 'real' component in a PG show. And that's not a bad thing at all, really.
