Randy Orton’s Demand For Kevin Owens Match Rejected ‘From The Top’ During 10/18 WWE SmackDown

Randy Orton suffered an attack from his old friend Kevin Owens during the October 11 WWE SmackDown. That was a shocking moment, and the footage was hard to watch for some.

During the October 18 WWE SmackDown, Randy Orton had a chance to follow up after the Kevin Owens attack from last week’s show. He was understandably not happy about how things went down.

Kevin Owens appeared during SmackDown as they aired a video he posted to social media before the show. Owens said that he doesn’t know when he’s coming back. This was an emotional promo, where he spoke from the top.

Randy Orton then showed up in Nick Aldis’ office, and he told the SmackDown General Manager that he wants a match against Kevin Owens at WWE Crown Jewel. That Saudi Arabia event is set to go down on November 2.

Nick Aldis told Orton that he won’t be able to book that match against Kevin Owens, because he “can’t.” Orton told Aldis that he doesn’t care, and then Aldis said that he “can’t,” because it came “from the top.”

Randy Orton then left in a huff, saying that he knows who to talk to now. That was a bit of a cliffhanger for the segment as they carried on with the show. We will have to see how they iron this one out as the blue brand continues building the drama.
