Excitement is brewing as Randy Orton gears up for a return to the ring on WWE SmackDown, ready to reignite his feud with The Bloodline. The Viper, who was storyline-injured by the group in May 2022, is seeking revenge, and he won’t be navigating this battle solo.
On the special Tribute To The Troops edition of SmackDown scheduled for December 8th, Randy Orton will join forces with fan-favorite LA Knight to take on Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso of The Bloodline. The announcement follows Knight’s recent intervention on Orton’s behalf, as he confronted Sikoa after The Bloodline attacked Orton. Orton, in turn, delivered an emphatic RKO to Jimmy Uso before officially signing an exclusive SmackDown contract.
