Randy Orton wants to get his hands on Kevin Owens, but Nick Aldis says it’s not something that he can do right now.
Orton has gotten mixed up in the feud between Owens and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Owens attacked Rhodes after WWE Bad Blood, and he came to blows with Orton on the October 11 episode of WWE SmackDown. Owens blindsided Orton in the parking lot later in the show, and “The Viper’ later made it clear that he wanted revenge.
On the October 18 episode of WWE SmackDown, Orton told General Manager Nick Aldis that he wanted to face Owens at WWE Crown Jewel. Aldis said that he couldn’t make that happen because it was “coming from up above.” Orton responded by saying that he guessed he knew who he needed to talk to.
In a promo on social media, Owens said that WWE officials told him to stay home, and he did not know when or if he could come back.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
