Randy Orton Match Likely To Be Added To WWE WrestleMania 41
The lineup above is similar to what Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter as well, but there is one match missing.
Randy Orton was supposed to face Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 41, but Owens is off the show due to a serious neck injury that will require surgery.
To start SmackDown in Seattle, Orton talked to Nick Aldis about how he needs to be on the card because it will be Orton’s 20th WrestleMania match, and he really wants to be on the show. Orton ended up being attacked by Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga, which led to LA Knight making the save.
During the Orton & Knight vs. Sikoa & Tonga ta team match, Orton fought with Solo through the crowd and to the backstage area while Knight finished off Tama with a BFT.
It appears that Randy Orton’s WrestleMania 41 opponent will be Solo Sikoa, although as of this writing, it’s not official yet.
