In-Ring Segment: Kofi Kingston
Kingston recounts that time he beat the hell out of Randy Orton years ago in Madison Square Garden. Kingston plays the footage in case anyone forgot. Orton appears int he crowd and tells Kingston he is tired of hearing about the one time Kingston put him through a table and when Kingston won the WWE Title. Orton says Kingston is just fake. Fake just like his Jamaican accent, and that phony “Power of Positivity” bullshit. Kington goes into the crowd and Orton hits him with a chair. Orton tries a draping DDT but Kingston escapes and hits Orton with a chair over and over again. Kingston sets up a table (after the first on breaks accidentally) to try to put Orton through it, just like he did 10 years ago. Kingston boom drops Orton through the table.
