During the April 18 edition of SmackDown, Randy Orton made a significant announcement regarding his status for WrestleMania 41, confirming he will compete at the premium live event this weekend in Las Vegas.
Orton issued an open challenge for the second night of WrestleMania, inviting any WWE roster member to face off against him on Sunday. While addressing the audience, Orton did not reveal who might answer his challenge, leaving fans to speculate about his potential opponent at the Allegiant Stadium showcase.
The veteran performer guaranteed his participation in the event despite not having a previously advertised match on the WrestleMania card. This last-minute addition adds another marquee match to Sunday’s lineup.
WrestleMania 41 takes place this weekend with broadcasts available on Peacock for United States viewers and Netflix for the international audience. The second night, featuring Orton’s open challenge, is scheduled for Sunday, April 20.
