 Orton began feuding with the McMahon family on the January 19 , 2009 episode of Raw when he confronted both Mr. McMahon and Stephanie , claiming that he was worth more than her , and that she had become " worthless " . This infuriated Mr. McMahon , who demanded that Orton apologize , or he 'd terminate him on the spot . As Mr. McMahon was about to fire him , Orton attacked him and viciously punted him in the head , leading to him being carried out of the arena on a stretcher . On January 25 , Orton won the Royal Rumble match , last eliminating Triple H. The next night on Raw , Orton claimed that he suffered from IED , and that he was not responsible for his actions towards Mr. McMahon , claiming that he suffered a " loss of control " because of the disorder . He also claimed that WWE knew of the condition , but did nothing , and threatened to sue WWE for that reason , and also , if Stephanie were to fire him , threatened a second lawsuit for breach of contract , due to the fact that he was legally entitled to compete at WrestleMania because he won the Royal Rumble . Though Stephanie teased firing Orton , she changed her mind and said she had " bigger plans " , leading to Shane McMahon returning to Raw and viciously attacking Orton . This led to Orton facing Shane in a No Holds Barred match at No Way Out , which he won . The next night on Raw , Orton faced Shane again in an unsanctioned match , which ended in a no @-@ contest when he punted Shane in the head , thus rendering him unable to continue the match . Stephanie then ran down to the ring to tend to her brother , but Orton hit her with an RKO . This drew Triple H into the feud , who claimed that Orton " crossed the line " when he attacked Stephanie , his real @-@ life wife . Later , Orton claimed that everything he had done was part of a plan to get revenge on Triple H after he kicked him out of Evolution ; according to Orton , Triple H " ruined his life " , so Orton was going to do the same and take everything that Triple H cared about away from him . He challenged Triple H for the WWE title at WrestleMania XXV , which he was unsuccessful . He won it the next month at Backlash by pinning Triple H in a special six @-@ man tag match between The Legacy and Triple H , Batista and Shane McMahon . At Extreme Rules , he lost the title to Batista in a Steel Cage match . The following night on Raw , Orton and Legacy attacked Batista and broke his arm , forcing him to vacate the title .
