Randy Orton Wrestlemania 41 Opponent Prediction: Open Challenge

As WrestleMania 41 Night 2 unfolds at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, one of the most anticipated moments of the night is Randy Orton’s open challenge. Originally slated to face Kevin Owens, Orton’s match was canceled due to Owens’ neck injury, prompting “The Viper” to issue an open challenge for his 20th WrestleMania appearance. A member of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa has a history with Orton, including a tag-team loss alongside Tama Tonga to Orton and LA Knight. This would be a pretty underwhelming choice, so I don’t see it being Solo appearing to face Orton tonight. Speculation about Rusev’s return to WWE has intensified after he was recently spotted at WWE headquarters. A surprise return to answer Orton’s challenge would undoubtedly be a major moment and get a big pop from the crowd, so him showing up is quite likely. While Owens’ injury led to the cancellation of their scheduled match, some are speculating that his injury might be a storyline. That doesn’t appear to be the case and it is very unlikely tha
