"What do you want Randy?" I ask him sternly. He begins to speak "I saw what happened out there an..." I stop him there. "I don't want to hear it. Yes your boy beat me. Is that what you wanted to hear? But know this: I will settle this with Cody and if you get in my wa..." he cuts me off. "If you would let me finish I was just going to say that I saw what happened and as far as I'm concerned, you should still be the #1 contender." I am rather confused by this turn of events. I hear someone talking and I glance over Randy's shoulder to see Shane and Clover talking. Randy turns to see what I am looking at as they walk out the door. He starts again, "As I was saying. Cody and Ted have been acting weird lately. They don't want direction or leadership. They are stubborn. They want things their way. In my opinion if Cody had not been there you would have beaten Ted. I am willing to help you get a rematch with Ted. I will tell Ted that he and Cody are to have a re-match against you and the partner of your choice. Only they won't know that your partner is me." I think for a second. Can I really trust Orton? Can I really trust the Viper? "Randy, I don't think..." He stops me, "Before you say no I want you to hear what I want in return. I will help you take down Legacy and you can get your #1 Contender status back. Once you beat Sheamus for the title, I want to be the first one you defend your title against. You don't have to answer me now. Just think about it." We leave it at that. He walked away and I headed for the door. My head is spinning. Still furious from my loss and confused by Orton, my thoughts are swirling. Then I remember "Oh yeah, what was Shane and the Clover talking about"?...
