WWE SmackDown Summary and Highlights
Randy Orton
Orton kicked off the SmackDown October 25 show. The Viper made his way backstage to talk to Triple H while his music played. Orton walked to the ring amid cheers from the crowd. He told the crowd that he was doing everything to get his hands on Kevin Owens. Orton then called for Triple H to have a discussion about fighting Owens at Crown Jewel 2024. Triple H’s music hit as the camera went backstage and The Game arrived. Orton claimed that Triple H was protecting Owens.
Triple H stated that he was not protecting Owens but was instead protecting Orton. The crowd erupted with ‘RKO’ chants. Triple H tried to reason with The Viper, saying that Owens had let his guard down and was unable to see the ‘miserable prick’ he wanted to be.
The Game also said that Owens was not the same guy and, quite frankly, he didn’t want to put Orton in the ring with Owens. Orton replied that he didn’t ask ‘Paul Levesque’, the COO of a billion-dollar company, to be in the ring, but rather wanted ‘The Game’ in front of him.
He wanted the guy with the sledgehammer in the ring right, the one with ruthless aggression. Orton made his case for the match and pleaded with Triple H to let him handle the Owens business in the ring.
Triple H finally agreed to Orton’s pleas amid crowd chants for the match and suggested Orton to protect himself at all times. Orton vs Owens was made official for Crown Jewel 2024.
