Randy Orton has been stretchered out of the ring on WWE SmackDown after Kevin Owens went rogue and took their feud to a whole new level.

Kevin Owens blindsided Randy Orton after Owens had turned on Cody Rhodes for teaming with Roman Reigns, thinking that Orton had taken Rhodes’ side in the fallout.

Owens and Orton were set to clash in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel but their match never got started as the two stars fought around ringside and into the crowd before Owens took a leap of faith and sent himself and Orton crashing through tables.

On the 8th of November edition of SmackDown, Randy Orton was hellbent on getting his hands on Owens and demanded he come to the ring. Kevin Owens duly obliged and the brawl was on again as referees and officials tried to split them up.

Kevin Owens Sends Randy Orton To Hospital

Kevin Owens took things a step further than most in WWE as he grabbed Randy Orton and nailed him with a pilderiver – a move that had been famously banned in the company.

Orton immediately sold his head and neck and was eventually stretchered from the ring with Cody Rhodes coming to check on his friend. Rhodes left the arena with Orton in an ambulance with Michael Cole later telling fans that Orton had been taken to a local hospital and was suffering from “undisclosed cervical injuries.”
