Jeff Hardy Addresses Randy Orton

Jeff Hardy has put “RKO” on his facepaint, showing that his sole focus is stopping The Viper, who wants nothing more than to complete erase Hardy’s identity. Hardy stood up to Orton last week with a stomp to the groin and a massive Swanton Bomb on the outside. So what will he say about Orton this week?

Hardy says that Orton has made him believe that he can fly and changed his brain chemistry at a fundamental level, preventing him from conceiving any rational thoughts.

In my words, his sole focus is to deliver the Venom that Orton has injected into his veins and eradicate Orton’s sickness.

Hardy says he felt “reborn” and “rebroken by fate” when he hit Orton with that Swanton last week. He demands that Orton comes out so that Hardy can finish what The Apex Predator started last month.

And Orton listens.

Randy says he’s not finished on “working on” Hardy yet. He says that this version of Hardy is the identity he wants to take away. The Viper says that the way to accomplish this is to break Hardy’s bones and leave him lying there in the middle of the ring.

Orton vs. Hardy is going down inside Hell in a Cell, upon Hardy’s request.

Grade: GREAT, I can’t get enough of this feud, and I’m so happy we’re getting this inside of Hell in a Cell!
