WWE has confirmed Randy Orton will join the SmackDown roster for several upcoming European live events in March. Orton is scheduled to appear at shows in Barcelona, Spain on March 14, Bologna, Italy on March 21, and London, England on March 28.
Randy Orton made his return to WWE programming at Elimination Chamber during the aftermath of the Unsanctioned Match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. As Owens prepared to inflict further punishment on Zayn, Orton intervened and delivered an RKO to Owens.
Following the RKO, Orton attempted to execute a punt kick, but security personnel stepped in before he could complete the move.
WWE has indicated that Orton’s schedule will expand in the coming weeks with additional SmackDown events in the United States.
Roman Reigns is also scheduled to appear at the SmackDown events in Bologna and London alongside Orton.
WWE has not yet announced Orton for this week’s SmackDown broadcast.
