This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW saw Randy Orton confronted by a demonic version of himself.
Just one week after vomiting what looked like black blood – a usual sign of possession in horror movies – The Viper would, yet again, be backstage cutting a promo on Alexa Bliss, threatening Five Feet of Fury with the same wrath Orton applied to The Fiend when setting Bray Wyatt on fire.
This week, though, Orton was being interviewed by Kayla Braxton before he was interrupted by Alexa Bliss. Bliss was sat on the ground, and would say there was something Randy Orton needed to see. What followed were hooded druids walking towards the monitor, before one revealed its identity as… Randy Orton.
While the on-screen Orton would stare down himself through the monitor, the voice which emanated from the version residing in the same location as Alexa Bliss would speak with a demonic voice and seemingly cause the Randy Orton who had been interviewed by Braxton to cough and splutter.

The demonic Randy Orton threatened that The Viper would soon come face to face with everything he had done – seemingly either hinting that The Fiend would soon seek vengeance, or even at a possible Firefly FunHouse Match, whereby 16-time World Champion John Cena had a very similar experience at WrestleMania 36.
As the 14-time World Champion continued to splutter, his demonic lookalike would cackle maniacally while staring a hole in him through the screen.
