Randy Orton was scheduled to battle Kevin Owens at WWE WrestleMania, but the former Universal Champion's neck injury ruled him out of the match. The Viper responded to the news by hitting SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis with an RKO out of nowhere.

Orton has the nickname "The Legend Killer" and could live up to the moniker at WWE WrestleMania this year. Stone Cold Steve Austin might decide to take Kevin Owens' place and battle Randy Orton at the biggest show of the year. It would be a dream match for many fans and would create a WrestleMania moment.
