Randy Orton and Kevin Owens were set to compete during this week’s WWE RAW with a spot in the Triple Threat Match up for grabs later in the night. Before the match, Orton was seen leaving Aleister Black’s locker room.

For those unaware, Black surprised everyone by turning heel and kicking KO’s head off during the Kevin Owens Show last week on WWE RAW.

As Orton and Owens prepared for the match, The Dutch Destroyer appeared before KO could make it to the ring and hit him with a Black Mass, almost knocking him out cold in the process.

KO fought through and wanted the match to go ahead, and it took Orton no time to drop Owens with an RKO to pick up the victory and progress to the #1 contender’s match for later in the night.

While Owens has been losing far too many matches, it seems like he could get his first major rivalry on WWE RAW since WrestleMania 36.

Black’s heel turn has been surprising, and competing with the former WWE Universal Champion will give him the push he needs to elevate himself into a main event star.
