Current WWE NXT color commentator Wade Barrett surprisingly owns several victories over Randy Orton from his in-ring WWE career. One such victory over The Viper came on an episode of SmackDown from the United Kingdom in November 2011.

Ahead of their traditional Survivor Series tag team match against each other, Barrett and Orton faced off in a Captain vs. Captain clash on SmackDown.

Competing in his home country, Barrett had the WWE Universe on his side. However, there were dueling chants of let's go Orton" and "let's go Barrett" throughout the match.

Both superstars fought in an incredibly physical and stiff match, utilizing several trademark offensive maneuvers from their respective arsenals. In the closing moments of the match, Randy Orton looked to be building momentum as he hit Barrett with his trademark clothsline, powerslam, and draping DDT combination.

As The Viper attempted to hit the RKO, Barrett shoved Orton into the referee. While the referee was slightly incapacitated, Barrett quickly raked the eyes of his opponent, allowing him to then roll him up for a big upset victory in front of his home crowd.
