It's John Bradshaw Layfield. I'll see if I can go through this.
On an episode of SmackDown, Paul Heyman confronted the APA and basically fired Faarooq. I don't remember why. Faarooq turned to Bradshaw for back-up, but Bradshaw just walked away.
Shortly thereafter, Bradshaw cuts a promo about how he's a self-made millionaire on the stock market and how he's living on Wall Street. Basically it was a Ted Dibiase-esque promo. He immediately sets his sights on Eddie Guerrero (who was WWE Champion at the time), and ended up beating him for the title. Now he has Orlando Jordan as his "Chief of Staff."
Randy Orton had the Intercontinental Title for nearly seven months before losing it to Edge. Shortly thereafter, he wins a battle royal on RAW for a shot at Chris Benoit's World Title. They have their match at Summerslam and, with help from Evolution, Orton wins the match. The next night on RAW, Evo turns on Orton for taking Triple H's spot, and now they're feuding.
