 On February 22 at Fastlane , after The Authority ( Big Show , Seth Rollins , and Kane ) defeated Erick Rowan , Ryback , and Dolph Ziggler , Orton returned and saved Rowan , Ryback , and Ziggler from a post @-@ match beatdown . He later gave an RKO to Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury ( J & J Security ) and Kane . The next night on Raw , The Authority tried to convince Orton to come back to the " family " , but Orton did not give an answer straight away until he saw them backstage . During a tag team match later that night , Orton became frustrated and upset after Rollins tagged himself into the match . After the match , Orton made his way towards Rollins in the ring , but was briefly interrupted by Jamie Noble who got an RKO for his troubles . Then Orton , much to Rollins ' surprise , picked him up and only patted him on the shoulder , leaving his alignment at the time in question . On the March 9 edition of Raw , Orton would verbally insult various members of The Authority , only to pass it off as a joke . During a 2 @-@ on @-@ 1 handicap match in which he teamed with Seth Rollins against Roman Reigns , he would abandon Rollins , allowing Reigns to get the victory . Following this , Orton would proceed to viciously beat Rollins , eventually hitting an RKO on the announce table . On the March 16 episode of Raw , a match between the two was made official for WrestleMania 31 on the condition that Orton would meet Rollins later on that same night in the ring . The bout never took place as every member of The Authority made their way to the ring to attack Orton . Their attempt to avenge Rollins was thwarted by Sting , who aided Orton in holding them off . Orton defeated Rollins at the event . After the loss , Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event .
