Randy Orton Plans Open Challenge at WrestleMania 41

Randy Orton's WrestleMania 41 plans shifted after Kevin Owens withdrew from their scheduled match due to a neck injury, prompting Orton to announce an open challenge for the event in Las Vegas. The storyline intensified when Orton, frustrated by the lack of an opponent, delivered an RKO to SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and warned of further action if he isn't given a match. Speculation about potential challengers includes Solo Sikoa, who recently reignited his rivalry with Orton on SmackDown, and other names such as Nick Aldis and returning stars from AEW. WWE's creative team is reportedly moving forward with the open challenge concept, though the final opponent and match timing remain unconfirmed. The development has generated excitement among fans, as Orton will be competing at WrestleMania for the 20th time. This scenario sets the stage for a high-profile, surprise opponent and a potential blockbuster showdown.
