Randy Orton picked up a significant victory over Drew McIntyre in singles action at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, in a bout that blended high-impact action with ringside drama involving major celebrity names.
The match featured musical star Jelly Roll in Orton’s corner and social media personality Logan Paul accompanying McIntyre. Orton made his entrance to a thunderous reaction from the crowd, who sang along with his theme as Jelly Roll walked beside him. Drew McIntyre followed, flanked by Paul as tensions simmered between both camps.
The bell rang at 8:13pm EST, and the action quickly escalated. McIntyre attempted to control the pace early by cornering Orton and delivering mounted punches, but Orton turned the tide and returned the favor, drawing cheers from the audience. A clothesline from Orton sent McIntyre to the floor, but Logan Paul’s presence at ringside allowed McIntyre to regain control by targeting Orton’s back and slamming him onto the commentary desk.
Back from a commercial break, McIntyre continued his assault, specifically attacking Orton’s historically injured lower back. At one point, McIntyre mocked Orton, yelling “What happened to you?” while delivering chops. Orton, clearly fired up, launched a comeback with a powerslam that got the crowd back on their feet.
The two battled outside the ring where Orton delivered his classic snap backbreaker and dropped McIntyre onto the announce table. However, another distraction from Logan Paul gave McIntyre an opening to strike Orton from behind.
As the action returned to the ring, Orton executed a hanging DDT off the ropes and signaled for the RKO. Logan Paul once again interfered, which gave McIntyre the chance to connect with a sudden Claymore. He went for the cover, but Orton kicked out just before the three-count.
Ringside tensions boiled over moments later as Logan Paul antagonized Jelly Roll. After repeated shoves, the Grammy-nominated country star shoved Paul to the ground, earning a huge reaction from the crowd. McIntyre, visibly furious, turned his attention to Jelly Roll, shouting “What the hell are you doin’ getting involved in my business?”
The distraction proved costly. As McIntyre reentered the ring and tried to lift Orton for a Future Shock DDT, he was caught with a sudden RKO. Orton immediately went for the cover and secured the three-count at 8:21pm.
Winner: Randy Orton
The victory marked a statement win for Orton, who overcame multiple distractions and a focused opponent in McIntyre. Meanwhile, the presence of Logan Paul and Jelly Roll added star power and tension, hinting that the issues among all parties may not be over just yet.
