Randy Orton Arrives at SmackDown with Major Entourage
Randy Orton brought his wife Kim to SmackDown in Barcelona ahead of his match against Carmelo Hayes, as WWE continues its European Road to WrestleMania tour.
Randy Orton arrived at WWE SmackDown in Barcelona with his wife Kim Orton accompanying him on the European Road to WrestleMania tour. WWE’s official Instagram account shared footage of the couple arriving at the Olimpic Arena for tonight’s broadcast.
Orton faces Carmelo Hayes in a singles match on tonight’s SmackDown episode. This marks their second one-on-one encounter, following their previous meeting during the 2024 King of The Ring tournament.
Their first match occurred on the May 17, 2024 edition of SmackDown, where Orton defeated Hayes in the quarter-finals. Orton advanced to the finals of that tournament but lost to Gunther.
Orton returned to WWE action earlier this month at Elimination Chamber, delivering a surprise RKO to Kevin Owens. Last Friday, Orton delivered a promo directed at Owens, prompting SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to schedule tonight’s match against Hayes.
The 14-time world champion is preparing for his 20th WrestleMania appearance. His current Road to WrestleMania 41 direction includes potential programs with both Owens and Hayes.
Tonight’s SmackDown from Spain airs at 8 ET/7 CT on USA Network as part of WWE’s annual European tour.
