This week on WWE RAW, Shawn Michaels returned to the show. The WWE Hall of Famer had a message for Randy Orton, who brutally attacked Michaels’ mentor, Ric Flair last week. Earlier in the show, Michaels gave a pep talk to WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, who will face Orton at WWE SummerSlam. The Heartbreak Kid discussed Flair’s legacy and how he shaped the careers of Orton, McIntyre and countless other superstars.

Michaels said Orton never appreciated Flair; he felt that he was owed a mentor like Flair. Michaels vowed that Orton will get what’s coming to him, whether it’s from a Sweet Chin Music or a Claymore. Orton attacked Michaels from behind and dropped him with an RKO. The Legend Killer punted Michaels and ran away from McIntyre, who charged to the ring.
