The Viper, Randy Orton and The Second City Saviour, CM Punk–The brutal foes of the WWE history
The Viper, Randy Orton is always dangerous for anyone, who interrupts him during his ride towards the championship. Same thing happened with the new leader of The New Nexus, CM Punk. Both opponents remained dangerous for each other during their traverse
in the Monday Night Raw.
The rivalry between Orton and Punk began when New Nexus interrupted the Orton in his WWE Championship match against the former Champion, The Miz, WWE pay-per-view segment Royal Rumble on January 30. It triggered the Orton lost the WWE championship.
Randy Orton did not give up his loss and took the pay-back of his championship in the following Monday Night Raw. He attacked The New Nexus members, Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris, which cost them their tag-team title match against Vladimir Kozlov
and Santino Marella. Both Nexus members tried to survive themselves, but Orton did not let them and delivered RKO’s to both. Husky was in the form to be punted by The Legendary Killer. Punk came out and begged Orton not to do that. But WWE Universe knows very
well that Orton only listens to the voices in his head.
He put Husky out of action by giving him a punt. The second city saviour cost Husky’s injury on his Royal Rumble’s interruption. The rivalry between 'The Viper' and 'The New Nexus' officially began there.
Punk explained about the confrontation at Royale Rumble by reminding Orton that he and his cohorts caused him the World Heavyweight Championship in September 2008 at WWE PPV 'Unforgiving'.
The 'New Nexus' members and Orton fought in a series of matches one on one in the following weeks. Raw GM also set up a WrestleMania XXVII match between Orton and Punk. The GM also set a stipulation that if any of The New Nexus members lost the match, he
would be banned from ringside on WrestleMania. However if anyone got the victory, he would stay in the Punk’s corner at WrestleMania XXVII. The Raw GM announced in the interest of fairness that if any of The New Nexus members confronted during the series of
matches, they would be disbanded by the Raw GM on the spot.
The Viper defeated each and every member of The New Nexus including Michael McGillicutty David Otunga and Ryan after hitting brutal RKO. Orton not only defeated them but hunted each member of Nexus by punting into their skulls. A bluntly fright was seen
in the eyes of the Punk when Orton made The New Nexus injured.
Now, it was the time to fight with his main victim at WrestleMania XXVII on April 3. Although Orton was injured by the Punk but the viper defeated his rival amazingly at WrestleMania. The fire of hating each other did not end there. On April 11, The New
Nexus members came back and cost Orton the number one contender match. On April 18, Punk fight with Orton in a WrestleMania rematch, that was again taken by The Viper. On April 25, Orton was moved to
The Raw GM set Orton and Punk in a 'Last Man Standing Match' for Extreme Rules and banned the other members from ringside. The Viper amazingly sunken his fangs over the Second City Saviour and he was the last man who kept standing till referee’s ten counts.
The rivalry between Orton and Punk was one of the worst fights. The WWE Universe can never forget those brutal moments when both superstars used to face each other.
