Randy Orton’s First WWE Match Since John Cena Loss Revealed

Randy Orton lost the Undisputed WWE Championship match against John Cena at Backlash 2025, and The Franchise Player closed that chapter forever.

Ever since the premium live event, The Viper has been absent from WWE TV. Of course, he has been missed by fans and there are hopes of a thunderous return!

Well, WWE has ensured that the fans get to see Randy Orton in action soon, and it’s going to be this week!

Randy Orton is playing for the chance to win a title opportunity

WWE has announced that King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring finals will be at Night of Champions emanating from Kingdom Arena located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 28, 2025. The first round of the men’s tournament to determine the two superstars who will move into the finals has taken place.

Sami Zayn defeated Penta, Dominik Mysterio, and Bron Breakker in a four-way match on Monday Night RAW. On the upcoming SmackDown, Randy Orton will return for the four-way match against LA Knight, Aleister Black, and Carmelo Hayes.

The chances of The Apex Predator securing the win is higher than others. Hayes and Aleister Black are household names in WWE, but fans will be more hyped about a semi-finals between Sami Zayn and Randy Orton.

LA Knight’s chances of winning are rather low consider reports suggest The Megastar will enter Night of Champions against Seth Rollins, making it impossible for him to be in the King of the Ring finals.
