Roman Reigns returned to WWE after a month following his title defense at WWE Crown Jewel. However, as he was celebrating another successful title defense after defeating LA Knight, another threat looms over him now. Randy Orton had a little chat with Reigns at the latest episode of SmackDown and he made sure he showed the Tribal Chief he meant business.
Roman Reigns should be aware of Randy Orton
Roman Reigns and Randy Orton were in the same ring for what felt like ages for the fans. In the ring, Orton declared that he would be going after Reigns as he had been thinking of taking him down for the past 18 months. To this, Reigns replied that this thought never occurred to him at the said time. Orton then challenged Reigns to a title match at the upcoming Royal Rumble.

Following this, Orton tried to deliver an RKO to Reigns. However, he pushed him away and was interrupted by Solo Sikoa. Looking at the face of a scared Reigns, Orton said that the voices in his head said, “Roman, you might have c******d your pants.” Looks like Orton is adamant about taking down Reigns.

Orton also said that maybe it is time Reigns started thinking about him. This might be a warning by Orton as he might break Reigns’ 1200+ days reign as a champion. The Tribal Chief also said that he would love to see Orton live up to his moniker of Legend Killer. However, this was not the only confrontation between the two on that night.
Later on that night, Randy Orton fought with Bloodline member Jimmy Uso. The two put out a great show where Uso proved to be a menace for The Viper. But Orton eventually caught up with him and just when was about to pin him, Solo Sikoa entered to help his brother. But he was tackled by LA Knight. Just when fans thought Orton had won, Reigns entered the scene.

He tackled LA Knight leaving him in pretty bad shape. He then entered the ring and attacked Orton. The two exchanged a few punches and then Sikoa and Uso entered the ring to help their Chief. Knight also entered but the two were no match for the heel faction. At this moment AJ Styles, who was absent following an injury caused by Uso and Sikoa a few months ago on SmackDown returned.

He attacked Reigns and the Bloodline. While fans thought Styles was on Orton’s side, he attacked Knight and left the ring. Do you think AJ Styles’ possible heel turn will play an important role in the Orton vs Reigns match at Royal Rumble 2024?
