WWE Raw Report - Drew McIntyre Gets His Revenge Against Randy Orton
Randy Orton Orton is hesitant to start the match because his jaw hurts from earlier. Things gets started eventually, and Orton is wrestling as cheaply as possible.

From a pure business perspective, it's just not professional and it doesn't fit the product or the brand of AEW, it degrades the value of AEW's women wrestlers to treat them as sex objects or to act shocked and impressed when they exhibit basic wrestling skills, and I have to imagine it's harmful to AEW's[...]
