WWE briefly posted and then removed a video from social media that showcased the talents of Randy Orton and CM Punk.

The video was uploaded to their YouTube channel before being removed from the video listing.
While it may not be visible, it still exists in the archives, albeit as a private video on YouTube.
The video, which was posted at this link, was visible for at least two and a half hours before being set to private.
The match in question was the Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett match on the November 22, 2010 episode of Raw.

Aside from the match featuring Randy Orton, who is heavily expected to be returning to WWE action shortly, it also features the voice of CM Punk on commentary.
CM Punk continues to be on the lips of many, with WWE sources previously claiming that creative hasn’t been tasked with preparing anything for the former AEW star, despite some fans still hoping to see him at Survivor Series in Chicago, which by all accounts, is not the plan.
This isn’t the first time recently that WWE has backtracked on making a reference to Randy Orton’s return.

It’s also been well documented that many fans believe WWE has been making references to CM Punk during shows, but the company itself has denied this.
The word from WWE as of the latest update was that nobody should by tickets or watch Survivor Series expecting to see CM Punk.
The 2010 match from WWE Raw would see Orton defend the WWE Championship against Wade Barrett.

While it would be a successful defence for Orton, The Miz would choose that moment to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
This would lead to The Miz becoming WWE Champion and give us the Angry Miz Girl meme.
While the recent YouTube post may have been set to private, the match does exist on the WWE YouTube channel from an upload 10 months ago and can be seen below.
