But while Kane smartly climbed back into the ring , Orton decided to pursue Christian , which resulted in him getting doused with water by Christian and counted out of the bout . That ’ s when the chaos began . As a furious Orton chased Christian around and into the ring , The Viper found himself the victim of a vicious 2 - on - 1 assault at the hands of both Kane and Christian .
