Randy Orton def. Edge and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat Match to earn WWE Title Match at SummerSlam (PHOTOS | WATCH)
In the wake of last night’s controversial WWE Championship Steel Cage Match, in which Sheamus retained over John Cena thanks to interference from The Nexus, Raw’s anonymous General Manager got right down to business. The GM arranged a Triple Threat Match involving Randy Orton, Edge and Chris Jericho with the victor earning a title match at SummerSlam.
With so much animosity ricocheting throughout the ring, any chance for an alliance was all but hopeless. As such, each Superstar was forced to create their own breaks. Which is precisely what The Viper managed to do. After an incredible display of athleticism, Orton glimpsed his opportunity. He struck Mr. Vocabulary with an RKO and turned around and quickly nailed The Rated-R Superstar with the same medicine, pinning Edge for the victory and earning himself a WWE Title Match at SummerSlam.
