Randy Orton struck again on Raw this week, this time targeting Edge's wife Beth Phoenix.

As you'll recall ... Edge has not been heard from since he was attacked by Randy Orton following a surprise return in the Royal Rumble.

Beth came out near the end of Raw tonight to give an update on Edge's condition, but the NXT announcer was instantly interrupted by Orton who walked slowly to the ring.

Once inside, he attempted to hug Beth ... but she stopped him from doing so. He extended his hand for a handshake, but Beth called out how ridiculous that was and said he was a son of a bitch.

Phoenix tried to lecture Randy over his actions, but he cut her off and said he owes an explanation.

Randy then told her a story about being backstage prior to becoming a wrestler and how Edge paid respect to his father Bob Orton. The two were then introduced to each other and Edge told Randy that one day they'd maybe work together in the ring.

Orton continued to talk about how Edge helped him later in his career and made him realize there's more to life. "I returned the favor and saved his life," he added. "Edge thought that he was back for good. Edge thought that he was going to start competing on a regular basis. And I knew better."

"The Viper" claims he knew someone would take Edge out one day, so because of his love for Edge and his family, he took him out before someone crippled his friend. Orton also blamed Beth Phoenix for allowing him to return just because he's addicted to the roar of the crowd. Because of this, he claimed to love Edge and her daughters more than Beth.

Phoenix continued to cry throughout the promo, but finally got angry and slapped him. After a stare-down between the two, Beth kicked Randy in the stomach and he reacted by hitting her with an RKO.

Randy walked to back afterward as medics, talent and agents came to her aid.
