Who might face Randy Orton in the absence of Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 41?

Send Push
WrestleMania 41 is already around the corner, but one major WWE Superstar is still left without an opponent that is Randy Orton . Fans were excited to see him face off against Kevin Owens, but he is out due to an unexpected injury.

On a recent episode of WWE SmackDown , Kevin Owens revealed that he had suffered a neck injury and would require surgery. Orton, who was already preparing for the big event, is now left without a rival. He expressed his frustration by delivering a devastating RKO to SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, but as of now, no new match for The Viper has been confirmed.

Could it be The Rock or Nick Aldis?
One theory circulating among fans is that Randy Orton might face The Rock in a surprise match at WrestleMania 41. The Rock is involved in a storyline with John Cena and Cody Rhodes, and since The Rock is also aligned with Cena, there is a chance he might interfere in the match between Cena and Rhodes. If that happens, Orton could appear to stop him, potentially leading to an impromptu showdown between the two legends.


Another interesting possibility is Nick Aldis, the current General Manager of SmackDown. Aldis and Orton have had some tense moments, especially after Aldis broke the news about Owens’ injury. After taking an RKO from Orton, Aldis might be looking for some revenge. Although Aldis has never wrestled in WWE, WrestleMania could be the perfect time for him to make his debut and face Orton in a big match.


Other probable stars who could face Randy Orton
Beyond The Rock and Nick Aldis, Aleister Black is one of the most exciting possibilities. WWE has been airing dark, mysterious promos on SmackDown, and many believe they are building up to a return from Black. A match between Orton and Black, two of WWE’s most intense and mysterious characters, would be a fascinating addition to WrestleMania 41.


Another option could be Rusev (now known as Miro in AEW). There are rumors that he has re-signed with WWE, so a surprise return at WrestleMania to challenge Orton could make for an exciting game.

Other stars would include Carmelo Hayes, Rey Fenix, or even a rising star. These up-and-coming talents could get their big break by facing someone like Randy Orton, and a match with The Viper would surely help elevate their careers.


Randy Orton is one of the most iconic and well-established Superstars in WWE. With Kevin Owens sidelined due to injury, many possibilities are on the table for Orton’s opponent at WrestleMania. Whether it’s The Rock, Nick Aldis, or another surprise challenger, it will be an exciting match.
