For weeks leading up to their highly-anticipated Last Man Standing title match at No Mercy, Orton took psychological warfare to new levels. The Legend Killer punished WWE Champion John Cena's father in and out of the ring, enraging Cena and throwing The Champ off his game.

Then, with just six days before their match, Orton ambushed Cena with a series of RKOs. The Champ was injured during the attack and was diagnosed that evening with a torn right pectoral tendon. He underwent surgery the following day and was told that he would need six months to a year of rehabilitation. Mr. McMahon then ordered Cena to surrender the WWE Championship, and five days later at No Mercy, The Chairman awarded the title to Orton.

After John Cena was injured and forced to surrender the WWE Championship, Mr. McMahon awarded the title to Randy Orton at No Mercy just six days later. Triple H on the other hand, thought that awarding the title to Orton was too easy. He goaded Mr. McMahon into arranging a title match between himself and Orton. After a exhausting battle with The Legend Killer, the Game captured the title for the 11th time.

No Mercy 2007 proved to be one hell of a roller coaster ride for Orton. The night started off with The Legend Killer being awarded the WWE Championship by Mr. McMahon after former Champ John Cena was forced to surrender the title due to injury. Then Triple H challenged him to a title match, which The Game won. But the night was far from over. Mr. McMahon told Triple H that he had promised the audience a Last Man Standing match and that he was bound to deliver; it would be Orton vs. Triple H for the championship gold. This time, Orton outlasted The Game to capture back the WWE Championship.
