One Night Stand: Randy Orton vs. Rob Van Dam [Stretcher Match, Extreme Rules]
Randy Orton introduced first and looks very pensive in the ring as he awaits Rob Van Dam. RVD very slowly walks to the ring for his entrance with little to no emotion.
We have the two face off in the middle of the ring as the bell rings. Big stare down. RVD pokes Orton and pays him some lip service then gives him a big standing kick out of the blue. Orton hits the mat and rolls into the corner. Rob sends Orton to the corner and charges with a spinning heel kick and hits.
Opposite corner now, RVD climbs and pummels. He throws nine punches and gets pushed off then runs back and hits a monkey flip on Orton. Kick to the face of Orton and another to the gut. Orton laid out half hanging over the apron, face up, and RVD leaps over the top rope and hits a legdrop across the neck of Orton.
Orton to the corner and RVD hits a spinning kick and Orton over-sells again. RVD to the ropes, reversed by Orton and RVD comes back with another spin kick. Van Dam mounts Orton and pummels him now. Orton to his feet and RVD hits a snap dropkick to the knees of Orton.
Orton goes for a kick of RVD, who catches it, but Orton reaches forward and clocks RVD with a big right hand. Both men down. Orton tries the RKO but RVD counters with a kick to the face. RVD leaps to the top rope for a 5 Star FrogSplash, but he loses his footing and he topples all the way to the outside of the ring. RVD’s got that expressionless look in his eyes already now from the fall.
Orton slides outside and punches RVD now, taking the upper hand. Back inside we go and a dropkick to RVD. Very slow pace now as Orton hits a leaping Knee Drop to the face of RVD.
Orton takes RVD to the center of the ring and stomps him. Still extremely slow pace set by Orton. Randy sets up a Gut Wrench and hits a Modified Gut-wrench lift into a neck breaker. Orton rolls RVD to the edge of the ring, trying to get him onto the stretcher but RVD falls off the stretcher. Suddenly RVD leaps to his feet as Orton follows and hits a big leaping right hand, and another. RVD then sends Orton into the ring steps.
RVD puts Orton on the stretcher on the outside, then climbs the apron, does the RVD motion and hits the Corkscrew Legdrop from the apron to Orton on the stretcher on the outside mat. EMTs come to the aid of Rob Van Dam and load him onto a stretcher.
Back inside the ring, RVD mounting the offense now and speeding up the pace, he calls for Rolling Thunder but as RVD rolls and leaps, Orton gets to his feet and hits a quick Powerslam as a reversal.
Orton now gets to the outside of the apron and tries to suplex RVD to the outside, but it’s blocked. Orton can’t get it, he swings and RVD ducks, and then hits a dropkick to the face of Orton, knocking him to the mat.
RVD puts Orton on the stretcher outside and gets in the ring. He goes coast to coast and hits a Sommersault Plancha to the outside, but Orton rolls off the stretcher and RVD’s foot meets the stretcher and the rest of him comes crashing down on the outside floor. Orton picks up RVD and places him on the stretcher. Orton is pushing him toward the finish line slowly. RVD starts to get up and Orton punches him a few times. RVD responds with a kick to the face and turns Orton around and lays him on the stretcher. RVD quickly pushes him across the finish line on the stretcher to steal the victory. Your Winner: Rob Van Dam
Post-match, Orton attacks RVD from behind and then sends him into the corner post. Orton climbs the apron and charges, connecting with a running kick to the head of Van Dam, which sends him over the fan barricade into the crowd. Orton then sets up RVD over the fan barricade hanging face down, leaps over to ringside and hits a Delayed DDT on RVD to the outside mat.
