WWE Throwback: When John Cena, Big Show, Triple H, Randy Orton fought in 2009
The WWE RAW segment was headlined by John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, and Big Show facing each other for the WWE World title. Since Batista relinquished his title in 2009, WWE officials lined up the Fatal 4-Way contest for the vacated WWE belt. However, the contest ended shockingly since Randy Orton stole the show from John Cena in devastating fashion.
Since the initial moments of the contest, all contenders delivered their best inside the ring and managed to outclass each other on several occasions. Triple H dictated the flow of the contest for a commendable period of time. However, Big Show took the momentum away from 'The Game' and started to launch an all-out assault. It appeared that Big Show was on his way to winning the contest, but John Cena intervened and delivered his finisher, the ‘Attitude Adjustment’.

Finally, Randy Orton planted the RKO on Big Show and pinned him down to become the new WWE World Champion. This was Randy Orton’s fifth WWE title victory.
