In the recent edition of WWE SmackDown, Kevin Owens faced suspension due to violating the no-physicality rule set by General Manager Nick Aldis during his role as a commentator on the Blue brand. This development could potentially pave the way for Randy Orton's return at Survivor Series WarGames.
The unfolding scenario may involve Sami Zayn attempting to negotiate with Kevin Owens to be the fifth member of his team for Survivor Series WarGames against the Judgment Day faction. Despite Owens being interested in aligning with his best friend, Nick Aldis could intervene, citing Owens' suspension and preventing him from participating until further notice.
This ruling would eliminate Owens from contention as the fifth member, opening the door for Randy Orton's comeback at Survivor Series 2023. Speculations have been circulating regarding Orton's long-awaited return, with Survivor Series being seen as the ideal location for his comeback.

Additionally, it will be intriguing to discover who will be the fifth member of the babyface team in this highly anticipated WarGames match.
Kevin Owens is already rumored to have a major feud on SmackDown in the near future
Recent reports from a few weeks ago hinted at a potential feud between Kevin Owens and Logan Paul on the Blue brand. With Paul now holding the United States Championship, it suggests that a future US title feud between these two is likely if plans come to fruition.
Also, several weeks ago, the company dropped a potential hint of a rivalry between Owens and Paul, seemingly confirming speculation about their upcoming showdown. However, with Owens currently suspended by Nick Aldis on the recent edition of the Blue brand, it appears that the match between the Maverick and the Prize Fighter is now delayed and will not take place at this year's Survivor Series Premium Live Event.
For those unaware, Survivor Series 2023 is set to take place on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois.
