Steve Notes Raw 9/7/20

Orton says he’d jump through whatever hoops he has to to get another shot at WWE title- he’s faced everyone but he has to face Lee again and Lee, eventually ur gonna get kicked in the head. 

The audio murmur is lower. 

Drew, I’m talking to you now. They say I’ll face you IF you recover in time. Why? The truth is, I kicked you in the head and broke your jaw. Now I’m a patient man but I don’t know if I have— he’s interrupted by an Scott Steiner ambulance, who’s brought Drew back. He claymores Randy. 

Earlier in the day, Hurt Business pick on some poor janitor. 

SCRAP IRON tells Drew he’s not even cleared- he says he can’t have another stunt like that- Drew needs to leave the premises. SCRAP IRON tells security to go make sure no other surprises happen. 

Apollo/Ced/Rico va Hurt Buisness 

This has to be where Rico joins HB
