4-time World Heavyweight Champion to walk away from WWE for a while after Crown Jewel? Looking at the chances 

WWE Crown Jewel 2024 is just around the corner. This year, the Saudi Arabia premium live event will air on Saturday, November 2, 2024, from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card for this PLE already appears stacked, especially with the official addition of the Bloodline six-man tag team match.

One high-profile match expected to be full of surprises is the showdown between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. The Viper secured this match after a heated exchange with Triple H, who warned him about the new, darker side of Kevin Owens, adding an extra layer of intrigue.

Another surprise fans might witness at Crown Jewel is that the Legend Killer could be stepping away from WWE after this match. Given Triple H’s warning, Owens’s dark side may emerge, leading him to brutalize Orton. This viciousness might not only secure the former Universal Champion a major victory but could also see the Legend Killer being stretchered away.

If this scenario unfolds, it could serve to write Randy Orton off television for the rest of 2024. This storyline would showcase a more ruthless Kevin Owens, fully illustrating the potential impact of his darker persona.

What could be the plans for Randy Orton if he gets written off from WWE at Crown Jewel 2024?

If the abovementioned scenario holds, the four-time World Heavyweight Champion might return as a villain to begin a feud with Cody Rhodes. WWE has already hinted at a potential showdown between Orton and Rhodes multiple times. With the American Nightmare as a prominent babyface, a heel turn for Orton seems likely for this match to take place.

If Orton is written off at Crown Jewel 2024, he could return on the road to Royal Rumble 2025. Upon his comeback, he may initially pretend to befriend the Undisputed WWE Champion, only to betray him later.

This would set up an Orton vs. Rhodes match for the Undisputed Title at Royal Rumble 2025.

Some fans even speculate that Orton is the mastermind behind Kevin Owens’s recent heel turn. This also suggests that his rivalry with the Prizefighter might be a ruse to deliver a devastating betrayal on Cody Rhodes.

A clash between Rhodes and Orton would undoubtedly be a major showdown and an exciting addition to the Royal Rumble 2025 card.
