Key Member of Randy Orton's Family Could Be Destroyed on SmackDown
Reports suggest Kevin Owens could potentially target Randy Orton’s wife Kim during tonight’s WWE SmackDown in Barcelona as part of their developing rivalry.
Randy Orton arrived in Barcelona, Spain, earlier today with his wife Kim Kessler accompanying him on WWE’s European Tour. Orton is scheduled to face Carmelo Hayes in a singles match on tonight’s SmackDown broadcast.
The presence of Orton’s wife during the European tour potentially creates a vulnerable target for Kevin Owens. Owens has existing tension with Orton following an attack last November when he delivered a package piledriver to The Viper.
Orton returned at Elimination Chamber and specifically targeted Owens with an RKO. Last Friday on SmackDown, Orton delivered a strong warning directly to The Prizefighter, escalating their conflict.
If Kim attends tonight’s event at ringside during Orton’s match against Hayes, Owens could potentially interfere. Such an attack would not only cost Orton his match but would significantly intensify their rivalry by making it more personal.
This developing situation could be building toward a potential WrestleMania program between the two veterans. Currently, no formal match has been announced for either competitor at the April premium live event.
Hayes also stands to benefit from any potential interference, as the rising star aims to secure a victory over the established 14-time world champion during tonight’s SmackDown broadcast from Spain.
