Fans will clearly remember the rivalry between Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton. For those who missed it, WWE RAW hosted a match between the two veterans on Legends Night. Orton was seen approaching many legends backstage before the match started.

The Viper went after Hardy early on and continued to punish the Superstar. Hardy has picked up several losses in recent weeks, and it seemed like this match was heading in a similar direction.

The Charismatic Enigma fought through in the middle portion of the match, but The Viper made him pay by twisting his earlobes once again, in a call back to their 2018 Hell in a Cell match.

While Hardy came close to victory and set up the Twist of Fate, Orton countered and hit him with an RKO to pick up the win.

Just like #RoyalRumble 2008, @RandyOrton gets the RKO on @JEFFHARDYBRAND!!! 😲😲😲#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/7i5HYeYFYD

Since this episode of WWE RAW was titled Legends Night, it was perfect to have these two men compete against each other as they are two currently active legends. Hardy has been picking up too many losses on WWE RAW, but they’ve mostly come against top guys.

On the other hand, it’ll be interesting to see where The Viper heads after not confronting The Fiend or Alexa Bliss this week.
