The journey towards WWE WrestleMania XL is well underway, and the event’s match card is gradually taking shape.
An unexpected feud ignited at Elimination Chamber: Perth last month when United States Champion Logan Paul interfered, costing Randy Orton a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.
Seeking retribution, Orton crashed Paul’s segment on the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, delivering an RKO to his friend and business partner, KSI.
Adding insult to injury, Orton took a sip from their Prime energy drink and doused KSI with the remainder, sending a clear message to the United States Champion.
While a showdown between Orton and Paul seems imminent at WrestleMania, WWE might introduce a twist by pitting Orton against both Paul and KSI in the ring.
Despite KSI’s lack of wrestling experience, his background in boxing could facilitate a seamless transition into the pro wrestling realm.
Speculation abounds that Kevin Owens could align with Orton as his tag team partner to take on the YouTuber duo at WrestleMania. Recent episodes of WWE SmackDown hinted at a potential alliance between Orton and Owens, rekindling memories of their past clashes in the ring.
Owens and Orton’s history is fraught with animosity, particularly during Owens and Sami Zayn’s heel stint on SmackDown in 2017.

However, circumstances have evolved, and Owens’ ongoing feud with Paul positions him as a fitting ally for Orton in this scenario.
Meanwhile, Orton’s vendetta against Paul continues to intensify as WrestleMania draws near. The Viper’s recent assault on KSI underscores his determination to exact revenge and disrupt Paul’s path to the grand event.
Reacting to Orton’s attack, KSI took to Twitter, expressing his frustration at being targeted once again within the WWE realm. This incident echoes a previous encounter where KSI inadvertently became entangled in the drama, enduring a Frog Splash from Paul during WrestleMania last year.
As tensions escalate and alliances shift, the road to WrestleMania XL promises to be fraught with drama and intrigue, setting the stage for explosive showdowns in the ring.
