WWE’s Apex Predator Randy Orton made a surprise return at WWE Elimination Chamber, after spending months out of action thanks to Kevin Owens. In the third match of the night, Owens defeated Sami Zayn in an Unsanctioned Match, one WWE had no legal responsibility over.
After the match, Owens continued his attack and aimed to end the career of his friend/rival. This brought out Orton, who had been taken out in late 2024 with a piledriver from Owens. After downing the Prizefighter, Orton teased using a steel chair, but instead attempted to hit his dreaded punt kick on the former Universal Champion. Security kept Orton from hitting the move, while Owens was able to escape to the back.
Orton also teased pointing at the WrestleMania 41 sign, suggesting that he has plans for the two-night megashow set for April 2025. It remains to be seen what the Viper has planned, but Randy Orton is on the road to the Showcase of the Immortals, and hungry for payback on Kevin Owens.
