Match Background

  • Event: WWE One Night Stand 2008 (also known as One Night Stand: Extreme Rules) .
  • Date: June 1, 2008 .
  • Location: San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California .
  • Stipulation: Last Man Standing match for the WWE Championship. To win, you must knock your opponent down so they cannot answer a 10-count from the referee .

The Match: What Happened

The match is best known for a real-life injury that cut the action short.

  • The Finish: During the match, Randy Orton tried to perform his finisher, the RKO. Triple H countered by throwing Orton over the top rope to the floor. Orton landed awkwardly on his shoulder, legitimately breaking his left collarbone .
  • The Result: Orton was severely injured and could not continue. Triple H grabbed his signature sledgehammer, struck Orton, and Orton failed to answer the referee’s 10-count. Triple H retained the WWE Championship .
  • Aftermath: The injury was real. WWE.com reported that Orton would be unable to compete for at least two months following the PPV . The following night on Raw, Triple H declared “The Age of Orton” officially broken .
