The results are in...

The new WWE Champion is Randy Orton.

This is more of an update regarding my last post, but it is an interesting one. Randy Orton did become the new WWE Champion at the No Mercy Pay Per View. Unfortunately, he did not beat John Cena for the title. John Cena was injured prior to the event. He somehow completely tore off his right pectoral muscle during a match on the WWE show "Monday Night RAW". This happened a week before the Pay Per View event. There was footage shown on the WWE website of his immediate surgery. John Cena is now out of action in a time frame of six months to a year. I can't help but feel bad for the man. After reading my previous post, I almost feel guilty about it.

OK, now I am over it. As for what happened with the scheduled title match, Randy Orton was simply handed the title, being that he was the number one contender for the belt. I thought that was fantastic, until the unexpected occurred and veteran wrestler Triple H made an appearance. Triple H challenged Randy Orton to a title match that moment, Orton accepted and lost the title. Since Triple H was already scheduled for another match, he had to fulfill his obligations and compete in that match as well. Later on that night, Randy Orton enacted his rematch clause. Triple H then had to defend his newly won title against Randy Orton in his third match of the night. Randy Orton defeated Triple H, and left him beaten and bloody on the canvas.

Randy Orton won the title twice that night, and is now the WWE Champion.
