Randy Orton has cut a promo during WWE Raw where he debuted a new mask to cover the facial burns he received last week at the hands of Alexa Bliss.
The video shared to the official WWE Twitter account showed Orton in the dark ring wearing a black full zip hoodie sweatshirt. Over his face is a white mask with slots for his eyes, nose and mouth to protrude, which gave a brief look at the singed skin that lies underneath.
"I know everyone in that locker room enjoyed seeing my face burnt to a crisp, knowing their biggest threat may have just been eliminated from competing in the Royal Rumble match," Orton said. "You can chop off all my limbs, and it wouldn't stop me from winning this year's Royal Rumble match."
He added, "Despite my sickening affliction, I vow to remain in the #RoyalRumble Match. I can only compete as long as I tolerate the pain, but ... I enjoy the pain." Orton ended his promo by lighting a match and staring at it longingly, before finally blowing it out.
The previous episode of Raw ended with Alexa Bliss shooting a fireball directly into Randy Orton's face, which sent him rolling around the ring in pain. This is all a part of Orton's long, fierce rivalry with "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, who has been out of action since Orton lit him on fire in a "Firefly Funhouse Inferno" at the TLC event.
Orton will be a part of the main event at Royal Rumble, which will see 30 men compete for an opportunity to headline WrestleMania. Current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) and will enter quarantine, but should be available to face Goldberg at Royal Rumble.
