This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw kicked off with a pre-taped Randy Orton promo.
Orton wore a mask after suffering burns from the fireball he took to the face from Alexa Bliss. Last week, WWE indicated that the burns were minor but this week, they appeared to be all over his face.
Orton said that he now wears the mask to protect his face and to protect everyone else from the horror that he has endured but he is blaming, The Fiend and not Alexa Bliss for what happened last week.
Orton says he will still compete in the Royal Rumble match and he will win and go on to the main event of WrestleMania.
