So That Happened: 10/14/13

RAW begins with the Special Guest referee for Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton at HIAC: Shawn Michaels!


Shawn Michaels thanks the WWE Universe for voting for him on the WWE App to be the guest referee for Hell In A Cell. HBK says it’s nice that the WWE Universe didn’t forget about ol’ “HBShizzle.”

Shawn Michaels says that he knows everyone is concerned about the personal feelings he has with the competitors in the Hell In A Cell Match. HBK reminds us that he trained Daniel Bryan as a “YES” chant breaks out. HBK says he’s always liked Daniel Bryan, but he’s never liked Randy Orton and yes, Triple H is still his best friend. HBK says that this Hell In A Cell Match isn’t about him, it’s about crowning a new WWE Champion.

Shawn Michaels reminds everyone of his history with the Hell In A Cell Match and says that due to the HIAC, he’s very happy that he’s retired. HBK says that what happened at Battleground was a croc and it will not happen again. HBK says that two men will walk inside the Hell In A Cell, but guarantees that one man will walk out the WWE Champion.

Randy Orton’s music plays and Orton comes down to the ring.

Randy Orton tells Shawn Michaels that he has a match with The Miz, so he’s going to make this real quick. Orton claims HBK has the WWE Universe convinced, but tells HBK that he was born and raised here in St. Louis and that he knows the people in St. Louis better than anyone. Orton tells HBK that the people in St. Louis aren’t all that bright.

Randy Orton claims that HBK resents him because no matter how great he once was, Orton will always be much better than him, and that eats HBK up inside. HBK shrugs it off by saying “Oh Snap!” and telling Orton that he wasn’t even paying attention.

Shawn Michaels tells Randy Orton that he shouldn’t worry about him, he should be worried about Daniel Bryan. Orton claims not only is he going to beat Daniel Bryan at the Hell In A Cell, he’s going to hurt him. Orton tells HBK that he’s going to have no choice, but to stand there and count to 3, raise his hand victoriously and that he’s going to enjoy every second of it. The crowd starts chanting “NO” but Orton tells them to Shut Up.

Randy Orton tells Shawn Michaels that everyone knows that he’s no stranger to screwjobs and tells him that if he screws him over at Hell In A Cell, there will be no coming back from what Orton will do to him. HBK calls Orton out on trying to intimidating him, and says that if Randy Orton tries to put his hands on him, he’s going to kick Orton’s “pretty head” off of his “pretty little shoulders.” HBK ends it with the “Two Words For Ya” bit.
