Randy Orton Announced for Major WWE Event Ahead of WrestleMania 41
WWE has confirmed Randy Orton will appear at SmackDown’s first-ever event in Spain on March 14, following his surprise return at Elimination Chamber.
WWE announced Randy Orton will appear at the upcoming SmackDown event in Madrid on March 14, marking the first time the blue brand will host a show in Spain.
Miguel Pérez, the Spanish voice of WWE, confirmed Orton’s scheduled appearance through a social media post as part of the company’s upcoming European tour.
The announcement comes just days after The Viper made a shocking return at Elimination Chamber in Toronto. Orton appeared following the brutal Unsanctioned match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
During his Elimination Chamber appearance, Orton targeted Owens, unleashing multiple RKOs and attempting to deliver a Punt Kick to The Prizefighter.
The attack stems from their ongoing rivalry that began in November 2024, when Owens viciously assaulted Orton and put him out of action for several months.
WWE’s European tour will include additional shows in London, Glasgow, and other cities as the company builds momentum toward WrestleMania 41.
Reports suggest WWE may be planning a match between Orton and Owens for WrestleMania, with their confrontation in Spain potentially advancing this storyline.
¡Ya os puedo contar que Randy Orton estará en #WWEBarcelona!
