WWE WrestleMania 41 appears to be setting up for a potential confrontation between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, with speculation suggesting the match could include a loser leaves town stipulation.
Randy Orton made his return at Elimination Chamber 2025 where he attacked Kevin Owens following Owens’ unsanctioned match with Sami Zayn. This incident has sidelined Zayn indefinitely from television.
The brewing tension between Orton and Owens points toward a WrestleMania showdown. If WWE adds the loser leaves town stipulation, the defeated competitor would need to depart the company as part of the storyline.
Should this match materialize with this stipulation, Owens might end up on the losing side, requiring him to exit WWE temporarily. This booking would create an opportunity for a character reset following a brief hiatus.
According to recent reports, Owens has signed a new contract with WWE, meaning any departure would be strictly storyline-based rather than representing an actual exit from the company.
After potentially losing at WrestleMania and taking a short break, Owens could make his return with a refreshed storyline. This narrative approach would continue his prominent position within WWE programming.
Over recent months, Kevin Owens has maintained a featured role in WWE storylines. His WrestleMania direction remains unconfirmed at this time.
