In the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Randy Orton secured his place in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match, where the winner will go on to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
This announcement was made during the kickoff segment of the blue brand by Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce, with Triple H by their side.
The qualification process included two matches on SmackDown, with Drew McIntyre defeating AJ Styles and Randy Orton emerging victorious against Sami Zayn in the main event.
Despite earning a spot in the Elimination Chamber Match, Orton might face a significant obstacle in his quest for the World Heavyweight Championship – Solo Sikoa.
Former NXT North American Champion Solo Sikoa could potentially interfere in the Elimination Chamber Match, costing Randy Orton his chance at victory.
IDK Why but I feel SOLO Sikoa might cost Randy Orton the Men's Elimination Chamber match leading to McIntyre's victory.
Despite being not in the match, he might enter when a star gets eliminated. Last year Logan screws Seth in a similar way#wwechamber #EliminationChamber pic.twitter.com/1YNL2F1KdE

The speculated scenario involves Solo making his entry when a superstar gets eliminated, with the caged structure opening to allow his participation.
Solo Sikoa would then deliver a Samoan Spike to Randy Orton, mirroring a similar instance from the previous year when Logan Paul interfered in the Elimination Chamber match and attacked Seth Rollins.
This interference aligns with the history between Solo Sikoa and Randy Orton, as The Enforcer previously cost The Legend Killer a chance to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the 2024 Royal Rumble.
If this scenario unfolds, it sets the stage for a potential match between Solo Sikoa and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40.
Randy Orton is already poised to make history at the Elimination Chamber 2024 by marking his ninth appearance in the brutal structure. This surpasses former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho’s record of eight appearances in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match.
The rivalry between Randy Orton and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has a storied history, including the memorable RKO delivered by The Viper to The Visionary during WrestleMania 31.
The anticipation is high for what unfolds when Randy Orton steps into the caged structure at this year’s Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.
