WWE star Randy Orton has, in storyline, paid a $100,000 fine on tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, noting that he’s pre-paid for ‘next time’.
In a backstage segment with SmackDown GM Nick Aldis, Randy Orton questioned why he was put in a tag team match with LA Knight, someone he just met.
With Aldis rationalizing that both Knight and Orton had common enemies in the Bloodline, he explained that’s why he put them together.
However as the segment ended, Orton handed over a check for $100,000, which caused pause for Aldis.
Orton had hit an RKO on Aldis on SmackDown last week, but Aldis mentioned that the fine for that was only $50,000, not $100,000.
Saying that half of it was for ‘next time,’ Orton exited the scene, leaving Nick Aldis speechless.
Later on tonight’s WWE SmackDown, Randy Orton is set to team with LA Knight for the first time in the main event of the show against two members of the Bloodline.
Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa will be representing the Bloodline when they take on the returning Viper and his newest tag team partner, Knight.
Also set for the Tribute to the Troops edition of SmackDown, appearances by Cody Rhodes and CM Punk.
