Randy Orton closed out Raw this week by cutting a scathing promo on Beth Phoenix and knocking the WWE Hall of Famer out with an RKO. "The Viper" claimed the reason he attacked Edge months ago with a steel chair was so that he could "save" him from coming back to the WWE, and instead would have time to be a husband and a father at home. He criticized Phoenix for being an enabler, and went so far as to claim he loves her two daughters more than she does. Phoenix responded with a slap and a kick, and Orton finally snapped by hitting his finisher.
Orton's wife Kim took to Instagram on Tuesday morning with a clip from last night's show, responding to her husband's attack.

When it comes to intergender attacks, Orton has a surprisingly long history. He's previously RKO'd the likes of The Fabulous Moolah, Stacy Keibler, Trish Stratus, Nia Jax and Stephanie McMahon. His angle with Triple H leading up to WrestleMania XXV famously featured him hitting McMahon with a draping DDT, then kissing her while Hunter was handcuff to a turnbuckle nearby.
But, as fans of Orton will recall, sometimes Kim manages to give him a taste of his own medicine.
