Following a shock attack in the parking lot at WWE SmackDown, security footage has now been released of Randy Orton being laid out.

After Bad Blood, Kevin Owens attacked Cody Rhodes in the parking lot in a moment not filmed by WWE. Instead, footage filmed by fans went viral online with Triple H vowing to deal with the issue internally as it was played off as a real situation rather than a wrestling storyline.

On SmackDown in Greenville, Kevin Owens defied his suspension as a result of the attack to interrupt the Meta-Four’s entrance to try and have his say on the issue as he took exception to being labelled the bad guy. Cody Rhodes soon made his way to the ring ready to fight but officials and security did everything they could to keep them apart.

Randy Orton also made his way to the ring to try and talk to Owens but a heated KO caught The Viper in the head with an elbow. That led to Orton dropping Owens with a punch as temperatures continued to rise.

That decision proved to be a devastating one for Randy Orton as later in the night, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis was forced to try and intervene as Kevin Owens laid out Orton in the parking lot.

Now Sports Illustrated has released apparent security footage of the beatdown, showing that Owens nailed Orton from behind after the two had talked.

Cody Rhodes already has his hands full as he will face Gunther at Crown Jewel for the newly-minted Crown Jewel Championship which pits the WWE Champion against the World Heavyweight Champion in Saudi Arabia which means Orton might have to handle Owens alone.
