Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton was supposed to be the last part of this week's WWE RAW, but what we got was a highly emotional segment to close out the show.

After Orton defeated Owens in a good match, he told Ric Flair to stay in the ring for something important.

Apparently, the fact that Orton had to unnecessarily face Owens this week was Ric Flair's fault. And after labeling the WWE legend as a liability, Orton dug deeper and stated that he knew he was the son Flair always wanted.

Flair did an excellent job of displaying his emotions, as The Nature Boy cut a heart-wrenching promo on why he still comes out and supports Randy Orton at this stage of his life.

Seriously, go watch this segment if you haven't done so yet. At the end of the day, Ric Flair got punted and low-blowed, which further solidified Randy Orton's position as the most despicable heel right now.

On a side note, I liked how the flickering lights amidst other production "issues" factored into this segment, which further displayed how RETRIBUTION's actions have affected RAW and SmackDown.

Drew McIntyre came out too late, but the staredown between both of these WWE Superstars brought an end to another amazing pitstop on the road to Orton and McIntyre's inevitable contest at SummerSlam.
