WWE Old School RAW Results (1/6/14)
Old School RAW in Baltimore opens with “Nature Boy” Ric Flair coming right out. Flair struts his way to the ring and does a bunch of his catchphrases, and even his trademark strut, until Randy Orton’s music hits. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion comes to the ring. Orton says he has respect for Flair. He says tonight is about him. Orton asks Flair to step aside and give him the ring because he has something to get off of his chest. Orton talks about Stephanie McMahon giving John Cena his title rematch at the Royal Rumble. Orton says he has nothing left to prove and asks The Authority to reverse their decision and take away Cena’s rematch. Orton says he has proved that he is “the man.” Flair cuts him off and says he’s not sure he’s the man. Flair says when he was young and the champion you went out every night to defend the title. Flair says that’s why he’s got two Hall Of Fame rings. Flair says he’s been hearing that Orton’s just been crying about things. He says he should prove he’s the man and beat Cena again. Orton says Flair always had someone watching his back, he’s all alone. He calls Flair the most overrated wrestler in history. Orton says Flair is standing in his ring and if he doesn’t leave it, he won’t be responsible for what happens next. Flair says he’s not leaving. Flair says he and Triple H hand-picked him ten years ago because he was the best, but he’s always had an immature, punk attitude. Flair questions Orton’s manhood. Orton threatens to go old school on Flair’s ass right now. Before he can do anything, John Cena’s music hits. Cena makes his way to the ring and hugs Flair. Cena questions Orton’s decision to take his frustrations out on Flair. Cena takes exception to Orton calling Flair overrated. Cena puts over Flair a bit and then tells Orton that if going old school means fighting, he’s thinking about it too. Cena tells Orton if he’s feeing froggy, he should jump. Orton backs down and leaves the ring.
