We knew this was going to happen when Shawn Michaels was announced for Raw, and sure enough, HBK became the latest victim of The Legend Killer.

Michaels made his way to the ring for the final segment of the show to address Randy Orton's vicious assault of Ric Flair the previous week. The WWE Hall of Famer promised The Viper that retribution was coming - whether it was some Sweet Chin Music, or a Claymore from Drew McIntyre.

As he was leaving the ring, Orton struck with an RKO before following up with a very quick Punt Kick as McIntyre attempted to make the save. As Drew was checking on Michaels, Randy tried to sneak up on him, but was met with a savage beat-down.

McIntyre threw his SummerSlam opponent into the Plexiglas at ringside several times, and then - very stupidly - returned to Shawn's side. Orton crept up from behind again and this time he was able to hit an RKO on the champ.

This was all a bit silly, to be honest. Are we really expected to believe that McIntyre would turn his back on Orton like that? Or that Randy would leave Drew alone once he had him down and decide not to hit him with a Punt? Apparently so.

Still, they've already done enough to make this SummerSlam match a must watch. Who do you think will walk out WWE Champion this Sunday?
