Randy Orton is set to make his highly anticipated return to WWE NXT on October 8, marking another major moment as NXT transitions to the CW Network.

During the September 17 episode of WWE NXT, Orton revealed that he will face Je’Von Evans in St. Louis, Missouri, on the debut night, adding more excitement to the already packed show.

Je’Von Evans, however, isn’t backing down from the challenge. The up-and-coming star responded to Orton’s announcement on Twitter with confidence, stating, “Much Luv OG, But A Legend Isn’t A Legend Without Gettin Took Off The Top First💯See Ya On The 8th @RandyOrton.”

Evans’ bold attitude shows he’s ready for the spotlight, even against a veteran like Orton, who last appeared on NXT in February 2013, defeating Damien Sandow. With Orton’s return to the brand and a recent report that he’s signed a five-year contract extension with WWE, this match could be a major moment for both competitors.
