But that was not the end of his assault of Edge. Randy Orton seemed to be making a statement and avenging Edge’s betrayal at the Rumble. The Viper took a steel chair and broke it on Edge’s back. He then wrapped it on Edge’s neck and stomping over him. Then, he got a second chair, placed Edge’s face on it and performed a con-chair-to, bashing the Hall of Famer’s face into the chair.

WWE reported that following the attack, Edge was rushed to a local medical facility. During the attack, Randy Orton targeted Edge’s neck, that has been surgically repaired following an injury. Only time will tell whether the injury would cut short the Edge’s career resurgence.
