5 Reasons Randy Orton didn't explain why he attacked Edge on WWE RAW

#1 To sell the gravity of what Randy Orton did

Randy Orton destroyed Edge last week on RAW

The finale of last week's episode of WWE RAW was booked brilliantly. Edge came out first and cut an emotional promo in front of the fans in attendance regarding his return. Just when Edge had us all eating out of the palm of his hands, Randy Orton came out. Orton first teased a return for Rated RKO before hitting Edge with an RKO out of nowhere. This drew nuclear heat from the fans in attendance.

Orton went on to do what he does best. He slowly and methodically destroyed a helpless Edge as the fans in the arena grew louder and angrier.

Orton finished it off by laying Edge's head on a chair and hitting him with a con-chair-to. We haven't seen someone draw such genuine heat on RAW in a long long time. Orton followed up his vicious attack by doing something unexpected on tonight's RAW - he stayed silent and refused to try and explain his actions.

We think that this will help sell the gravity of what Orton did when he turned on his longtime friend.
